Clayton Custer is really good. I could see him going undrafted but carving out a career, a la Delly.

No way. NV has no inside guys to stop him. 0 chance he even sniffs a cup of coffee in the league

Dude shot 54/46/81 this year. He's smart, crafty, works hard. Averaged 1.7 steals, floor leader. If Aaron Kraft was on an NBA roster there's no reason Custer can't be.

I really really hope Loyola Chicago can make the final 4. If I'm Loyola I rather play Kansas State but if they Kentucky and lose to Kentucky, that will still be great headline news for the school and the country. We still have to get through the Friday games but I wish right now was Saturday and Loyola Chicago is about to tip off their game to start the Elite 8.

If Clemson, WVU, Cuse and TTech don't win today I'll be shocked.

#11 Loyola Chicago plays #9 Kansas State in the elite 8 so even if Kansas State wins than we got a borderline double digit seed in the final 4 and definitely if Loyola wins. Same with FSU if they can beat Michigan, #9 seed FSU would be a borderline double digit seed in the final 4. On the right side of the bracket Syracuse is only hope for a double digit seed to make the final 4, every other team on the right side of the bracket is either #1 seed, #2 seed, #3 seed or #5 seed.

So my final 4 wish would be Loyola Chicago, FSU, Villanova and Syracuse. Would have to be very lucky to get those 4.

I say this as a Michigan fan, Wagner needs to be more consistent and can use that last year in college. I think he's at best a mid second round pick right now, unless he has a huge game against EAU, and they advance and he does it at least one more time.
All in all he's just another prick with no wall

That was a nice start for Syracuse but I have no idea what they were doing the last few minutes.

Can't stop Bagley. KU vs Duke is going to be a hell of a game.

Both Edwards have been solid players for Purdue this season who normally outscore opponents by what TT just beat them by. Tech looks like the best defense left besides maybe FSU

Well I imagine you’re pretty shocked. That side of the bracket is the opposite. Only one team isn’t a top 2 seed and they had some injuries andlost to a 3. Of Michigan doesn’t win though the finals will definitely be a David vs Goliath.

Hope Villanova, Kansas, Michigan and Kansas St. reach the top 4 :)

P.S. so funny seeing two Kansas schools in different divisions :P

Bagley going up against less than 100% Udoka Azubuike of Kansas. If he can’t handle Udoka. He will be exposed in nba.

Kansas essentially plays small ball with Udoka in the middle. Will be interesting game.

Bagley won't be matched up with Azubuike imo Carter or Bolden will be.
They will use Bagley length and speed as a perimeter stopper chasing around whoever is hot.
It takes him out of the paint and somewhat out of his game offensively but it worked against Cuse (barely)
but that was mostly due to the poor shooting % of both Duke guards.
Bagley will have to play like he did in the 2nd half of the game against Cuse though for Duke to have any chance of winning this game
if the guards can't match Kansas guards offense of late.
