We were down 2 starters in Farad Cobb and Shaq Thomas. Caupain had to play 38 minutes and Evans played all 40.Temple and Cincy both escape.
I think he's got a strong argument for sure, but went with Poeltl & Uthoff because they're both clearly the most important players on their respective teams, while I think Paige is arguably UNC's guy.Brice Johnson over Poetl and/or Uthoff
It also wasn't Durant and a bunch of nobodies. His point guard was DJ Augustin and Damion James and AJ Abrams were very good college players. Rick Barnes was a nice guy but his coaching was kind of tragic.Rick Barnes coaching performance with Kevin Durant stood as one of the biggest screw ups ever. Thankfully for him Jones with Ben Simmons at LSU is making a strong push to overtake that.
Purdue beats Maryland by 4 at home. No court storm.
And fwiw, Stanford are up a half-dozen on UCLA, late. Both of these teams need the win to get near the bubble, but UCLA's closer than Stanford, so I'm rooting for the Cardinal.
