I'm most looking forward to Michigan State vs. UCLA in Round 1. The Spartans are born to play in March, and I think they can pull an upset.

Another team to watch is U.Conn. I hate that team with a passion, but boy that Kemba Mamba is one nasty player. Let's see if he can continue his hot streak and singled-handedly carry the Huskies. Like BYU, U.Conn is a one-man show.

Wow.

Morhead State down two with 15 seconds to go and the ball. They call a time-out and run clock despite down two. Fake pick&roll with about 5 seconds to go, some guy hits a pullup 3. Louisville out.

I want to see what Kemba will do this tourney. I'm expecting at least two game winners!

The BYU team is terrible. Four white guys who suck at basketball and one guy who does nothing but score. If Wofford wasn't so awful themselfs, they actually might have a chance.
Horrificly bad basketball so far.

EDIT: Jimmer starting to take over :smile:

The Louisville-Morehead State was the only full game I was able to catch yesterday, which might have been a blessing in disguise, since this year's talent level seems to be really bad. I enjoyed watching the game quite a bit though.

Anyway, today's schedule featuring first round draft prospects in either this or next year's draft:

12:15 PM (13) Oakland vs. (4) Texas Jordan Hamilton (SF), Tristan Thompson (PF), Cory Joseph (G)
12:40 PM (9) Tennessee vs. (8) Michigan ------ Tobias Harris (F), Darius Morris (G)
2:10 PM (9) Villanova vs. (8) George Mason ------ Mouphtaou Yorou (PF)
2:45 PM (12) Memphis vs. (5) Arizona ------ Derrick Williams (PF)
3:10 PM (16) Hampton vs. (1) Duke ------ Kyrie Irving (PG), Nolan Smith (G), Mason Plumlee (PF)
4:10 PM (10) Florida State vs. (7) Texas A&M ------ Chris Singleton (SF), Khris Middleton (SF)
4:40 PM (16) UT-San Antonio vs. (1) Ohio State ------ Jared Sullinger (PF)
6:50 PM (16) Boston University vs. (1) Kansas Marcus Morris (PF), Josh Selby (SG), Markieff Morris (PF), Thomas Robinson (F)
7:15 PM (15) Long Island vs. (2) North Carolina Harrison Barnes (SF), John Henson (PF), Tyler Zeller (PF/C)
9:20 PM (9) Illinois vs. (8) UNLV ------ Jereme Richmond (SF)
9:45 PM (10) Georgia vs. (7) Washington Trevis Leslie(SG/SF), Trey Thompkins (PF), Justin Holiday (SG/SF)

FWIW Morey has Kansas winning the whole thing.

The Oakland coach looks like a hobbit.

I don't watch a lot of college hoops, but from what I've seen I don't get why Jordan Hamilton is about ten spots lower than Terrence Jones in just about every mock draft.

Terrence Jones is awful. Doesn't have a real position. Immature. Bad body language. Looks soft. Doesn't intrigue me at all.
Jordan Hamilton on the hand seems pretty solid. Good size. Tough kid. Seems mature. Shows flashes here and there.
I know Hamilton is older, but still... I just don't see Jones figuring it out. I don't what it is about him, but his face is kinda annoying. :dontknow:

jordan hamilton - look like he can be a good role player in this league, but need to improve his defense
terrence jones - has the potential to be an all-star

we have way too many good role players on the team
we need a star
rather draft someone with the potential to be a star than another role player

Tennessee = Crap.

Yeah I don't see that at all in Jones.

Wow.

Wachting the Nova game now.
I kinda like Corey Fisher. Wouldn't mind picking him up, should he go undrafted. Dude scored 105 points in a NY summer league game once. Tough kid, good motor, plays D.

Wow.

if we can get top 2 pick
of course i want kyrie irving (that's no secret on this board)
now we are at #11-#13 pick range
best to do is draft the guy with the most potential and hopefully some team like him
anthony randolph got traded few time because some team think he has the potential
