Some of these flagrants today have been really questionable.

Analyst on the TT NC State is so pro-TT it's annoying. Anything time big boy DJ Burns gets the ball "there's too much banging why isn't there a (offensive) foul call!" God if anytime big men bang is called a foul Shaq would never have had a career! sheesh.

Wow there was NO FOUL on that block by Samford! And they got the ball after too! WOW

edit - refs def forked over Samford with that call. It was a 1 point game with 14 seconds left.

Why isn't that reviewable? That's ridiculous.

You think with all the reviews they do throughout the game, something like that would be reviewable as well.

Gotta love an anticipation foul call rather than just let it play out. Samford still had a chance to tie and blew it, but you hate to see it.

Your thoughts on whistle on day 1 so far compared to last year? Or is it too early and need to wait for 2nd round.

I feel like people are sleeping on Wisconsin...everyone is taking JMU today it seems like. I don't know much about JMU but if Storr gets hot for Wisconsin they can make a run for sure.

I don’t follow college ball, these guys are top 5 talent in this draft?! Holy ****, spurs are tanking for nothing.


Yup, every draft site I've seen has both of these guys in the top 5. The other American I've seen mocked in the top 5 is Cody Williams, and he put up zeroes across the board for Colorado yesterday.


I assume at least the top three picks will be international now. I'm not following super closely, but I know Sarr, Rissacher, and Topic are out there, and I assume this showing from these Americans will be significant to draft stock.

Do you know who the next foreigner up would be? How high could the fourth international player taken go?
