Spoiler
when in doubt, never bet against San Diego St.
Seth Trimble will be in the portal after the season, according to Trilly.
Seems legit
going to be a lively battle for the final #1 seed
hopeful UNC can land it to avoid being in HOU or UCONN's bracket
I thought UNC would be a big favorite to get it if Tennessee and them win out but bracket matrix and that make it look more like a flip or even UNC slight dogs. I don't really buy it though.
yeah, who knows how it all shakes out
i'd snap take being the #2 seed in a Rocky Top regional right now tho
Kenny Payne doubled his wins from a year ago
#KeepKennyPayne
Do read that as KU being a 2 seed? lol
A month ago
Hmmm doesn't seem legit to me based on his personality and that he came back after last season. He takes total pride in whatever is asked of him as far as defense. He's also improved big time offensively as a Soph. Maybe he just doesn't care to be a bench player behind Ian Jackson and Drake Powell. Maybe RJ is coming back for the 5th year. Who knows, but I like Trimble's game and what he brings. Until he's gone how the heck could anybody possibly know?
Especially with everything going well at UNC where all seem happy. Last year was the biggest bust in college bball history. It was no shocker that Caleb was ran out of town and exploring options, and that most needed to go and were unhappy due to the PT or results. I just don't see that with Trimble.
Norchad Omier was preseason first team and finished on second team. Nijel Pack was preseason second team and wasn't honorable mention. Had to expect a little bit more from Kyshawn George and Wooga Poplar who are NBA bound
RJ Davis wasn't on the preseason all-conference team and he won POY
Reece Beekman averaging 6.0 assists per game on the #1 slowest team in the country is mighty impressive.
Both Bennett brothers just spam pnr with their best guy. Funny how that works
No one's stock has risen higher and fallen harder than Tyrese Proctor. Looks like he was very bad on two-pointers this year.
I guess Donovan Clingan cratered pretty hard too
Top 10 road wins of Kenny Payne's career:
1. Miami
2. _
3. _
4. _
5. _
6. _
7. _
8. _
9. _
10. _
Seriously what the hell happened to Miami this year. They were final four a year ago.
cocaine probably

Elmarko Jackson was supposed to be good at one point too. See if he can do anything with injury minutes available for KU
Pop Isaacs on TTU shot 35.6% from the field and was named third team all Big 12. In a loaded conference too
Currently tasting Brigham Young +1200 to win the B12.
Pittsburgh +1100 to win the ACC
Clemson +850 ACC

These players have agents and those agents are already back channeling if they know they are leaving.

just checked (and certainly didn't know) that Beekman leads the nation in ARate (43.6%)
i forgot (but totally fired up) that Jim Nantz has been dropped from CBS' MM coverage and replaced by Ian Eagle
also happy for Robbie Hummel to get an analyst position (he's teamed w Lisa Byington and Steve Smith)
Eagle is the living GOAT but I will miss Bird/Spanarkel.
Jim lands on his feet, getting to work with Spero though. Everybody wins.
Catalon/Lappas gets a well deserved promotion
villanova not exactly helping their case for last 4 in
jesus christ
cal scored 6 points in the final FIFTEEN MINUTES of the game and still should've won, but turned it over on back to back inbounds passes with under 30 seconds left and now we are headed to OT
this is the most painful game I have ever watched
