I hate Dook as much as the next guy, but Ingram is just oozing talent. Wish we had someone like this on our roster! Very high probability that he could have the best NBA career of any Dook alum.

Ingram is nasty, there should be a debate about who goes #1 in the draft.
 
Rooting for Kansas because
1) my bracket (final four still intact OK, KU, IN, VA)
2) their obnoxious fans at MSG
3) did I mention their annoying fans at MSG??

Jordan Bell would have looked awesome in a UConn jersey, kid is so athletic and active.
 
The announcers are taking about Grayson Allen getting tripped, he tripped himself and then flopped on the floor.
 
KU is killing Maryland on the boards (40-25). Not as bad as they killed us (44-24), but it's not that far off.

I'm officially at "I'll be surprised if Kansas doesn't win the whole thing" status.
 
KU's front court is deep and they have not even played Chiek Diallo. LOL
 
The more I watch Kansas, the more confident I am that we could still be playing with a different draw. Hopefully playing a team like them is something that makes this group better.

This Villanova team is really good, but something tells me they'll regret losing the BET & Philadelphia on Saturday.

A defensive frontcourt of Brimah and Jordan Bell would have been ridiculous, program really took an L there. I know we have heard the dream school stuff before and it didn't happen but at the time of his recruitment that one seemed there for the taking.

Lucas's development is so impressive. He was a total afterthought coming into that class -- the 220th overall recruit according to 247 -- and here he is in his junior year chewing up lottery picks and spitting them out.
 
At keast we didn't get that silly jayhawk chant. MD really gave up in the last few minutes.

If I remember he was there for the taking, wasn't the thinking we weren't taking any chances on kids at that point and we thought there might be academic red flags with Bell? We dodged several bullets but he's a kid I would have loved to have at UConn.

I know college basketball isn't transitive, and the fact that we lost still sucks, but we did keep it closer than a UMD team with a ton of hype.

Yeah, that kid being as good as he is caught me off guard. I knew their top four would be a handful, but he really just makes them so much tougher. Felt like he got 20 offensive rebounds against us.

Meanwhile, I think if you swap Johnny Jones with coach K, this Duke team is in the NIT.

Yah, we only lost by 11!!
 
It's real hard for me to pull for KU, I lived in KC fora while. What an insufferable lot - fortunately uconn won two titles when I lived here.

I will admit they are much more palatable when I don't have to listen to the KU fan rubbish everyday.

Don't know if it was a test score or academics in general but yea he had his official visit lined up and then the administration blocked it. He had to sit out his freshman year at Oregon but he is worth waiting on, dude is 6'7" tops and has built a lid around the rim and basket.

I said the loss still sucks. It's merely an encouraging sign of growth that we did better against them than a team that seriously outclassed us back in December.

OK, I guess that is something
 
Maryland is one of the reasons UConn took a reputation hit among so many fans. Gary Williams crying to Kornheiser for that ridiculous hit job during the Gay recruitment really set UConn back.

I hate Maryland, always will.
 
thank god 21 feet of Plumlees is finally over in college hoops
 
Glad Brooks rubbed a 3 right in Greyson Allens nose at the end of the game.
