SMU looks sluggish - down 30-24 and really not shooting well at all.

But check out UC-Irvine's center. (ESPN2)

He's a 7'6" freshman and actually looks like he's going to be a player. He's already blocked three shots and SMU's front court doesn't want any part of him.

I remember this photo circling around at the beginning of the season. 5'8" Jonathan Lloyd going up against 7'6" Mamadou Ndiaye:

Yea I noticed the kid earlier this year. He was rated top 100, I wonder why no bigger schools gave him looks.

The John Smith of Senegal.

I was pretty sure the UNC guy was a Mamadou but apparently my memory failed and he is Mahktar.

Final 3 were Georgetown, Pepperdine, and UC Irvine. Decided to stay close to where he went to high school. Also, he had a tumor, so maybe schools backed off for that reason. Still, he looks like the real deal for a guy that big.

If I was #22, people in the nosebleeds would be asking themselves, "Can you believe we heard that guy screaming from all the way up here?"

That was one of the worst refereed games I have seen. At least the refs are consistent. Consistently awful
