LOL.

Jonte Flowers > Michael Flowers


Am I the only one who thinks Bill Walker could have a better career than Beasley?

Kevin Love has to guard a 7 footer like Jordan and can't leave him on help defense, so Joseph is wide open and they can spread the floor better. K Love is too short to not pay 100% attention to Jordan. That's why it's important to have a big center like that.

Georgetown just lost in the second round. I think Hibbert's stock is pretty low right now... he was in foul trouble all tourney.

I'm guessing he is out of the lottery at this point.

A pretty good matchup shaping up. Wisconsin v Davidson, better known as Curry v Flowers.

Don't know why but Brook Lopez only played 28 of the 45 minute overtime so did great to make 30 points in 28 minutes. TWIN tower brother Robin had 9 rebounds along with 18 points on 7-10 shooting in 38 minutes of play. I didn't see the game but Brook had 3 fouls so they might have come early in the game thus the limited minutes.

It certainly helped that Stanford's made 10 more free throws and Johnson had 16 assists....one more than the opponent combined.

Darn I hate it when they have NBA and college games on ABC, CBS or NBC as you never get to see reruns or games for the first time for that matter if the games are regional.

Well its official by looking at how far they went that Jonte is the better of the two Flowers brothers. Did anyone watch the game? Down 12 at half, Jonte had 5 pts at the break. Finished the game with 30 and Nona won by 11. I love Division 2 basketball!

That was an incredible game. Have to give love to the alma mater.

Flowers was amazing. The funny thing is if they didn't blow last years championship (up 9 with a minute left) and if they hadn't lost that weird game to a Div III school, you'd be looking at a 100 game winning streak.

That center for Augusta looks like he could be a nice 2nd round pick. Raw, but runs the floor well and is going to Newell's bigman camp.
