The Lopez twins are playing very well, but they are getting NOTHING from their backcourt. They just said the backcourt is 0-for-8 from the field

Texas has more balance on offense right now. They are getting contributions from lots of guys, not just 1 or 2. Stanford is pretty much a 2-man team on offense right now

He will be there with our pick. We need a REAL PG, I cant see any reason why Paxson doesnt draft him

AIRBALL! But that was a pretty play by Augustin to hurdle the Stanford kid after the steal

Yeah, Augustin just isn't as creative with his passing as Paul is. I'd say he's more Damon Stoudamire-ish.

I know he's from Stanford, I know he's got a girl's name, but I gotta say, Brook Lopez just gets stuff done.

Stanford allowing way too many offensive rebounds and second chance points. Augustin has been a real quarterback out there for Texas so far. It really comes down to Texas' front court severly outplaying Stanford's back court. We knew the Texas guards and the Lopez twins would do their thing.

Good news for Wisconsin -- Trevon Hughes will be available this half, although he won't start.

Hey, Curry is human -- he really rushed that shot, and didn't follow through -- did it even hit the rim?

Lovedale is solid. He's battled Josh Heitfelt, Hibbert and now Butch in this tournament. They aren't still playing today without him. Davidson is a very good defensive team.

Curry reminds me a lot fo Brandon Roy just not as tall or physically talented. Still Curry gets it done and is a pretty smart player.

Badgers with 5 team fouls already. Davidson's gonna win this one too. Curry's gonna bring it home like always.

Jason Richards is a very good point guard as well

Davidson played a really hard non-conference schedule (Duke, UNC, UCLA, etc), and though they lost all those games, you can see why they were competitive in all of them. This team isn't afraid or intimidated and isn't going to back down. They also play really well together as a team

Richards, Brazelton, Sherron Collins, Jeremy Pargo, Patrick Beverly, Derrick Rose. Gotta give it up to the Chicago point guards in this tournament.

Playing that tough non-conference schedule was a very smart move. They know they can play with the top teams in the country. Those games were all just preparation for the tournament.

You gotta give it up to DePaul, too. What a great bunch of recruiters they are.

Really, what was the point of joining the Big East. They might as well just join the WAC.

Did Dell Curry have as quick of a release on his shot as his son does ?I remember Dell Curry being a great shooter, but I can't really visualize the release on his shot

Return to Chicago Bulls
