15/16...I don't know why I went against my instincts and picked the Gophers...what a poor choice on my part.

Maynor reminded me of Egon Spangler.

Dissapointed to see the kid get bounced

On the bright side, he didn't have many chances to increase his draft stock, making it more likely he'd be available at one of our later picks.

I'm glad you guys all stuck to your guns and took the Gophers though, they're going to be good under Tubby Smith if they can land one big time impact offensive threat.

What do you guys think of Damion James, I've been stalking him for many moons now and I'd be looking at him w/ the Mia pick. Kinda has that Shawn Marion/Gerald Wallacish kinda vibe, no?

We already landed him, he just needs to hurry up and graduate high school already.

Royce White, a 5-star recruit outta Hopkins. 2nd rated SF and 19th overall prospect in the nation.

Most people are saying hes ready for Big Ten play RIGHT NOW.

White is crazy, but they also got Rodney Williams (*4 star freak athlete) and 3 3star recruits.

It's amazing how these athletes (LeBron especially) suffer these vicious takedowns and then get right up like nothing happened. I probably would have like 8 injuries after that.

I really hope Woodside gets a tryout on a summer league team, at the very least.

I'm debating what would have shown more about Griffin; walking away the way he did, or turning around and gorilla press slamming him over his head?

Congrats to Blake Griffin for not being a thug, though. Gotta love that.

Blake Griffin is a stud. 33/16 today.

UConn is also showing their dominance.

For tonight:

Go Texas!
Go Western Kentucky!

Besides the gophers I have not watched much college basketball at all this year. This was my first time ever really seeing Griffin and he was impressive. Really just manhandled everybody out there on the plays I saw of him. He looks like he has an edge to him which is always great. He may finally be a Blake that actually finds success in the NBA.

frickin Wake forest...

calinks, i do not watch college either unless it is for pro prospects.
