Are you drunk?

Are you? How in hell does USC get in at 14-13?

He's talking about Xavier

He's talking about Xavier

Xavier is 18-10 and in on palms CBS bracket, I truly believe if Desmond stayed they be a cold stone lock to be in. At USC no chance, that was my point.

I totally missed it lmfaoo. I thought he was talking about UConn. @WrenchFan69 my apologies. I’m in fact the drunk one

I wonder if the men's game switched to quarters like the women's game would it help with games now running well over the 2hr window, it's getting outta control

 

[mauconnfan]

really nowhere to put this but I thought it was so sad it should do somewhere. Not sure who most to blame, the coaches, the refs, or the kid?

He obviously loves LeBron.

Watching Houston and thinking how bad they would destroy us. That is a bunch of men. Them against SJU would be some kind of physical.

Anyone have any interest in Claude coming here for his senior year? Big point guard who is great getting in the lane and scoring in the midrange and around the rim. He brings things this team sorely lacks but he doesn't shoot many threes and he's turnover prone.

Hard not to like a 6’6” guard scoring 16ppg on 50% shooting on a bad USC team. Also 4+ assists per game. The turnovers are an issue but I wonder how much of it is a product of how they’re using him as a pretty significant uptick to last year. I really liked him at Xavier and thought he was a big loss for them. He’s also shooting 35% from 3, which is solid enough. If he was coached by Miller he knows how to be coached.

Archetype is exactly what we need, would love a second taller more natural PG to boot. I feel like Hurley will never take from the BE, but now a year removed and a CT kid, hmmmm.

Would love Claude but maybe in the AJ role as a third G / secondary ball handler? I don’t really remember Claude on Xavier how is he defensively?

Good - can guard 1-3

Houston gonna lock up the B12 in front of Pat Mahomes. Not too shabby. This one might officially push them onto the 1 line.
Kelvin looks like Yoda walking around these days. We need more athletes like he gets.

I know USC is not “the basketball capital“ but SoCal with NIL is not a bad gig.
But I could see St John’s going after him as a Richmond replacement

I’ve been seeing a lot of crap about Michigan State being a legit Final Four team. Am I the only one who thinks the B1G is a garbage conference this year? I predict none of their teams even make the Elite 8. (This will probably age poorly, but no one will remember.)

I actually think Maryland may have highest upside. But yeah they’re overrated. They’re a fun conference because there is a lot of parity, but no team with a lot of upside to make a run. I saw the Purdue meltdown a mile in advance. They’re limited athletically, and have been burning Smith 40 minutes a game all season. He’s wearing out.
