First round upsets?

Brunson should've had the ball in his hands on the last possession

Xavier doing its best to save face for the Big East. Up ten at the half on 3 seed FSU. They should be up 20+.

Northwestern making this a game against Gonzaga.

We will still get two in sweet 16 w Xavier and butler at least. (Assuming both hold on like I expect)

Love Alkins game

Love Alkins game

Yea, he's a total beast. Wish sju could have signed him. Would have been the perfect compliment for ponds/lovett

St Mary's just doesn't go away

Iowa St/Purdue best game of the tournament so far

Deonte Burton is a pro. Savage

Deonte Burton is a pro. Savage

Matt A recruited him as a transfer to Iowa St.

Wilson on Michigan is legit. Boy can play

And the poor step-child of the power 6, the SEC has 3 to the ACC's 1.

So is our favorite little German prodigy going to mature in his sophomore year the way Wagner did ?

From your lips to God's ears. We keep talking about not finding real bigs well scour Europe because I bet you Mullin could find one or two space eaters over there at anytime.

Did you hear Coach K's post game comments? He said his team wasn't deep enough. Doesn't he have at least 7 All Americans on the team? This has been my biggest argument against rat face being an all time greatest. When does he ever do more with less. He doesn't. Sure he can coach the most talented team to championships, which should count for something, but that doesn't wow me. Before anyone goes throwing our current staffs offense (or even the previous staffs offense) under the bus, just watch a Duke game. There is nothing spectacular going on, just players making plays.

His bench is loaded with 6'10+ 4 and 5 star players. Harry Giles was the #1 PF in 2016, Marques Bolden was the #2 Center in 2016, and Javin Delaurier was the #9 PF in 2016.  None of those guys play. Only the #2 ranked SF in 2016, Tatum,  plays. Chase Jeter, a five-star Center from 2015, was only getting 15 mpg when he was injured in late January.

Any one of these guys would have played 25-30 mpg at St. John's.

The 2009-2010 title team was doing more with less.  Only 2 first round picks on that team (and 1 was freshman mason plumlee who averaged 4 ppg and wouldnt get drafted for a few years).  No lottery picks.  THe only first rounder is not even in the NBA (Nolan Smith).   Best player, Kyle SIngler, was a 2nd rounder and has not done well in the NBA.  But they won a title.

Also, since when is winning with less a prereq. for being the greatest?  Did John Wooden and Red Auerbach and Phil Jackson do a ton with less than elite talent?   

Another excuse for coach K. He should never lose a game with all that talent! He gets off the hook all the time while Calapari is under a lot more pressure to win in my book. I also think Coach K doesn't really like the chemistry on this team and will be happy to see the kick baller move on to change the dynamic of the team.
