Great stuff. Izzo is such a stud. Why the heck did Louisville dribble around so much when they got the ball with about 38 seconds and down by 4? Left themselves no room for error. Seems like that's on Pitino.

The better coach won.

What a total disappearing act by Harrell in the second half. The guy could not have played worse.

It was a great game to watch. Too bad L'ville didn't win because it would have clinched winning my wive's work bracket. I'm proud of the Big10 getting 2 Final Four teams.

Will Sabonis be available by the time the Bulls pick?? Damn he looks good. First time seeing Gonzaga play.

Having watched Sabonis for a total of 2 minutes, he looks pretty selfish out there and has a low bball IQ.

As far as not appreciating greatness and why people hate Kentucky...look no further than their head coach. I wish I could say it all started with DRose's test scores, but it goes back more than that. Many people look at him as a lying cheating racist scumbag. Personally I think it is all a bit overblown, but that is his rep.

For me though, being an ND fan, I just hate whoever the Irish are playing.

Where does the racism come from? I'm asking not disagreeing. I've just never heard that term associated with him.

He was fined by the NBA for some remark about Mexicans.

Like I said though, I think it is all a bit overblown. I know he is no saint and he isn't beyond bending rules, but i don't think he is the evil coach some believe he is.

He's only a freshman. He could be a top 5 pick in a year or 2.

He's arguably Wisconsin's 4th best player.

Obviously behind Frank, but after that?

It's not like Chicago is going to have that great of a pick again unless they package and move up. 20-22 seems likely.

Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig have both been better this year.

No they haven't. Also, as far as NBA potential goes, Sam has the most of it on that roster. Bronson and Nigel have had really good seasons, but Sam has polished himself into a really, really good all around player. He's a guy who has NBA potential but plays within the system and doesn't force anything. When things open up for him, like they did against UNC and Arizona (which was more so him just getting hot), he can really get it done. He had a really good game against Maryland, Michigan, Purdue, and obviously this tournament.

I assume you are talking about Sam Dekker. Yeah. Crap defender though . And not elite athletically or in his offense

Can't see him cracking a 9 man rotation on a competitive NBA team

Not really a "Crap defender". He's improved this area in his time in Madison quite a bit. While not "elite" athletically, he has a lot of bounce. He's no Wiggins, but he'd be a fairly athletic player in the NBA. He's got some bounce and change of speed and direction ability.

I have way more respect for Calipari than pretty much any other college coach. He knows college basketball is a sham and he knows it's nothing more than a stepping stone for the top prospects. He does his best to help you get to the pros and he isn't going to be some holier-than-thou scumbag about it like Coach K.

I think he already said he's NOT declaring this year.

Looking at the guys available around where the Bulls are picking, I'm not really enamored with any of them.

The one guy I like who has a unique skillset is Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Wouldn't mind him with our pick.

I love how you guys admittedly say you've watched the kid play one time in your whole life, and are ready to declare him Bulls-worthy lol
