Yup - I knew they'd make it purely b/c of views. Hopefully they flame out in the 1st round so we don't have to watch this dog & pony show anymore

Ya you think they thought about potential viewership with the potential Duke/OU matchup for the 2nd round? Haha.
Can't blame them though, what sounds like a more intriguing matchup for the 2nd round Duke/OU or Duke/OKST? I definitely think there were much more deserving teams to get in, but ya I can see why they did it for the ratings.

Or when they seeded AZ vs. UK in the round of 32

The organizers must have hoped Trae will drop 50 or get a trip double just so they can hype some more

As a Bruin grad, too bad!!! SC gets football love. Those are the breaks.

I’m an LA fan, so I like both teams. USC is just a better team this year and recently they’ve looked really good. So has UCLA, but UCLA is just too young. They won’t get very far in the tournament. USC IMO had more of a chance to beat good teamsz

Do you really think 6’0 16th ranked nationally Trae Young would declare for the draft out of HS?
Also, the amount of money he has made Oklahoma is probably substantial. Him being in the Tourney, especially if he goes on a hot streak, will become must see tv. That’s more money for the NCAA and colleges. I don’t think anyone is complaining about this except for bubble teams.

I was overdramatizing it for a laugh. No, he wouldn’t be a one-and-done. —-Wooosh
He looks terrible right now.VCfor3 wrote:Young is shooting okayish and has had some nice passes but just seems kinda out of it today. (I was only able to start watching at the half)
How was he the first half of the game when he was 4/4 from the field and 2/2 from deep?

I would hate to be in NBA general manager selecting in the top half of the lottery.
