Russell could be the heir to Kobe with the Lakers. Or, he could be the face of the Knicks in New York.

great guy and decent player, but so far he's been atrocious at his new job

I heard Jack say, "Mo has the morning off, he's prolly sleeping in" when they were previewing the Michigan State game.

With that being said, I wouldn't say he was "over his head" as TSN hired him. There are quite a few "successful" (as in, doing well in there new career) former NBA panel members, like Barkley, Shaq, Jalen Rose, Kenny Smith as well as Grant Hill and Reggie Miller who do colour commentary. TSN prolly offered him a job because he was good at discussing ball off the record, but some people (myself included) just do a much worse job on TV or when there is some sorta audience.

Mo Pete seems to be there half the time they do Raptors coverage for TSN games, which is most likely apart of his contract. It's like a part-time panel member. But unless he resigns, he has a contract, so unless TSN pays him off or he resigns, he isn't going anywhere. And I'm sure TSN will let the contract play out as Mo Pete isn't that bad, and secondly there is plenty of time for improvement, which is what they're most likely "hoping" for.

TSN got rid of Tie Domi pretty early into that experiment several years ago. Basketball isn't watched like hockey is, but Peterson has been so bad that they might do the same.

Don't watch college hoops at all, but did watch the end of the Nova/NC state game. Is Hilliard a good prospectr? He looked pretty clutch down the stretch despite the loss.

Damn UNC's chances at the Final 4 just dwindled. Kennedy Meeks apparently heard something popped in his knee. Hope it's not an ACL tear.

EDIT: Just a sprained knee

I'm liking Notre Dame. They face the winners of Kansas and Wichita. Which is a great much up too.

The MoPete experiment needs to end.

Edit- Just scrolled up and saw people were just having this conversation.

UVA always chokes in the tourney. Huge win for MSU. Have them going to the Final 4.

Big Spartan fan.
Boggles the mind that the committee put them as a 7 seed.
I put MSU over UVA.
Gonna be a good next matchup for MSU
