If the bracket played out per the way some are scoping it right now, chalk, our path:

Navy
UCF
BYU
IOWA ST
MICHIGAN
ARIZONA

That is a guantlet right there. UCF isn't a bad team, just beat TT at home and have been ranked.

He was really complimentary of UConn. Rick is almost transparent to a fault. Not sure why he talked openly about Jackson thinking about his NBA career in season.

He didn’t say NBA, he said pro….Ian Jackson is no NBA player

DePaul's court is fire with the skyline and their half court logo. Someday soon games will matter there.

I thought you literally meant fire as in flames, and a cow.

Good to see DePaul showing life.

That was my first thought as well.

That would be awesome by the way.

StJ ratcheting up the D when it matters. StJ is going to roll out a big lineup as they're playing Zubi/Mitchell/Hopkins. Then they play Sellers & Jackson/Darling at the point.

Mitchell will be the best athlete on the floor and he'll probably be chasing Mullins around and making it really difficult for him. AK is going to be able space out Hopkins. I might work the ball into Tarris early to see if he can draw some fouls on Zubi.

This may be a game we really need Solo to step up. I'm expecting Mullins to have a really hard time. They're an interesting matchup, awkward. I'm honestly wondering on defense if we put Silas on Sellers. If we can stunt him, and Tarris can stifle Zubi, they may have a really hard time scoring. I can see them trying to use the Hopkins/AK matchup.

Depaul showing some fight have cut the deficit to 6 with 3:30 left forcing Pitino to call a timeout.
 
What the hrll happened to Bryce Hopkins?? Guy used to be a beast. He’s awful now. He just missed an uncontested layup at the hoop then got stripped on a drive.
 
Was hoping DePaul could catch them slipping, need some more breathing room. I blame Seton Hall and Xavier for this.

You could be correct.

I was however talking about an image of Mrs O'Leary's cow kicking a lantern into a pile of hay.

With St John's lack of a true PG, our defense, especially as extended as it was tonight, may be able to give them quite a bit of trouble.

Every time I ever had to do that because I forgot my contacts or goggles I took a shot to the face. Without exception.

A very interesting matchup.

I want to decide it on the court with them.
 
St Louis is pretty fun to watch, with this being Avila's last year I'd be shocked if Josh Schertz doesn't make another jump

Providence needs to get Schertz.

That's who the Field of 68 guys were naming this guy as well. Unfortunately, for Providence it looks like demand for him will be really high which will result in him being very expensive.

This article goes through every high major team's transfers this year and how they've impacted the team. Some funny comments.

BCU: Conclusion: It was over before it started.

Pitt: Conclusion: Send help.

UConn: Specifically filling one void is exactly how Dan Hurley wants to use the portal. UConn did that swimmingly. Silas Demary Jr. has been one of the best two-way point guards in college basketball, and backup point guard Malachi Smith can be a useful weapon off the bench. UConn's point guard play was not a strength last year. It's a strength this year. Conclusion: Diagnosed the problem; solved the problem.

Fears at it again, dude is a mini Draymond, and Izzo got all indignant when May brought up Fears' dirty plays from their game this past Friday

Small plays bailed them out against Penn State earlier in the year and Rutgers a few games ago. But Minnesota is on a 7-game losing streak and 10-12 overall. Bad loss

Lol - that is dirty.

It's good to see Michigan State get exposed.

Totally - they're the same type of team we've seen forever. Gritty on defense, can't score. S16 team tops.
 
Lafayette said:
Agreed. I remember when Detroit players were being recruited and Derrick Coleman chose Syracuse while Calhoun landed Lyman Depriest.

Love me DePriest but imagine if Calhoun had landed DC? Clingan would have become DC2
Expand ...
I saw Melo on a pod and was talking his recruitment. Said he only went to cuse because he didn’t have to play defense. Lol
 
This is so embarrassing, Minnesota looks like a bunch of 4th graders.
