3. The "Jordan Hawkins is a Bust" Crowd​

Early in Jordan Hawkins' career, his shooting was inconsistent and he struggled with injuries (concussions).

• The Take: "Hawkins is all hype. He’s a 'traffic cone' on defense and can't handle the physicality of the Big East. We missed on this one."
• Who said it: A subset of posters known for "Game-Thread Overreactions." During his freshman year, users like "HuskiesFanatic" (and various anonymous guests) frequently posted that he was a "bust" every time he missed his first two shots.
• The Receipt: Hawkins became a lottery pick in the NBA Draft after one of the most dominant shooting performances in NCAA Tournament history in 2023.

Even if deep down I’m not as confident of them winning it all as in past years, I can’t make a bracket that doesn’t have them winning. I’ll happily go down with the ship because my tournament interest severely falls off once they’re out anyway.

Same here. Much better to be able to root enthusiastically for both your team and your bracket.

I voted for a Furman loss but that's because I don't take anything Boneyard related remotely seriously.

Y'all are a bunch of poop flinging monkeys.

I failed miserably, but I do feel good predicting the only double-digit seed in the Sweet 16
