This one would bust my bracket, so to speak, but I'm here for it. I was planning to pull for the winner of Tennessee/Creighton, but I absolutely love this NC State squad.
And I've got some schadenfreude for Marquette losing of course.

That was UW vs. ISU all over again. Couldn't make a 3 to save their life.

South Region showing how "gritty" college basketball is really just offensive ineptitude.

I watched the game last night and now looked at his season stats split by when he actually plays good competition. He's just a freshman so he could improve, but...
Verdict: Not a huge miss
You do realize that Momcilovic of this season would be the best and most productive freshman big within the last 20 years of the UW program aside from Ethan Happ and it's not even particularly close right?
I think the hand wringing is that Momcilovic is seemingly the exact UW archetype of big man that both Bo and Gard like to recruit, white, good shooter, fundamentally sound, projects to stay multiple years, big time winner in HS, plus his HS coach played for UW, and of course he's a local kid...and yet somehow UW doesn't even offer him but they'll offer some random white stiffs from Minnesota who take 2-3 years to get near the current production of Momcilovic.
He can shoot and a high ceiling maybe, but it’s unlikely.
He’s one of the slowest basketball players I’ve ever seen.
Take out the pure garbage competition 9 games against Prairie View A&M, UWGB, New Hampshire, etc. where he ran up efficient stats and he was not good.
He shot 51% from 3 and 61% from 2 against those 9 high school teams.
He shot 31% from 3 46% from 2 against competent teams. He can’t get any shots off against major D1 players.
TJO is a hell of a coach for taking that team where it went.

I've never seen so many missed bunnies in the NCAA tournament until this year. So many missed wide open layups

I couldn't find part 1. Why did he predict before the tournament that this would happen?

Saw that too. Might explain quite a few things. Storr, for example, looked like he completely lost his shot after a great run in the conference tournament, he wasnt even close on most of them.

Dear God UCONN, 25-0 start to start the 2nd half
They've just eviscerated the tournament the past 2 years.
