Jabari > Chet > Banchero for me but would love to get any of them.

That was a nice game from Banchero, really showing off his versatility. He has so many areas of potential growth in his game.

Despite his shot not falling as much as it was earlier in the season, I actually think Paolo is a much better player right now than he was when he was scoring more consistently. His defense still isn’t great but it’s way improved and he’s been making some great passes.he had like four dimes today that he created all on his own.

Duke really put their big boy pants on and took over that game in the last few minutes.

Now that I'm no longer in risk of a heart attack I can sit back and enjoy the win.

Great finish for them.

I just like it for draft scouting which Pistons are always flirting with a high pick so im always watching college ball.

I just hate when people dont watch college ball and then try to put in their early input on who's a bust and a star starting in SL :lol:

The Tournament is great and entertaining though regardless.

St. Peter's coach Shaheen Holloway being interviewed by the CBS sideline reporter during the first half:
"We're playing like crap...it's unacceptable."

CBS sideline reporter:
"Coach, you're up one."
Just because it happened to you, doesn't make it interesting.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Yesterday I was lying; today I'm telling the truth.

If Miami pulls it off I will be so happy for Jim Larrañaga. He seems like an honestly to god good guy. Hope his team can make a run like George Mason.

Jabari Smith has left much to be desired and has looked soft. The entire Auburn team has looked soft. They have size but can’t finish or rebound tonight.

I cant stand watching Johnny Davis. That guy has never seen a shot he doesn't like.

he just looks so weak, I mean look at Wembanyama debuting in the EUroleague, he is useless, and we are talking about a kid who is twice the rim protector as Chet.

Looking at things from Chet, Wembanyama perspective, these guys are not NBA material until they actually get in the league, and its either gonna click for them or not, they either gonna live in a weight room, or not. Between these two at least, there is no such thing as guaranteed success, doesnt matter they could alter shots at junior level, when any pro can so easily push them around on the court, which is a case for Wembanyama, guy cant box out some guards, he has less mass than fart in the wind on the court and its a contact game.


I agree. I would not take any of these guys top 10. Bol Bol 2.0

Chet has some talent and skill. But he is really slow footed compared to Mobley. He won't be able to guard the perimeter in NBA. He's more like Bol Bol with a motor and better IQ.

Roach destroyed Sparty. Duke hit a bunch of huge shots at the end of the game and Michigan State wasn't able to keep masquerading as a great team. I'm happy with the team's effort, they were just out-talented.

Wildcats about to choke it away. Giving up so many offensive rebounds. You can tell the pressure is all on them. Hopefully they can pull it out like Gonzaga and Duke did.
