Has that ever been done?
Fwiw, according to Dickie V during last night's telecast, it hasn't been done...yet.

Your boy is certainly in the running. Much is going to depend on how the season goes down the stretch for their teams.

I would say if Davis doesn't get it, your boy definitely will.

Kansas looks like shit so far against Baylor

1-5 from 3's, can't beat Baylor without making 3s against that zone

I have been watching the 'Cuse/Hoya game mostly, has Jones been guarding Withey?

Baylor plays zone. They can't man up on anybody defensively. I believe Acy is the anchor in the middle.

Truth. Great recruiter, but this team doesn't look like it's getting any better at all.

Florida State is down 8 @ BC in the 2nd half. I'm not going to have any idea what to do with that team in my bracket once the tournament rolls around.

Baylor mostly plays a zone.

2nd half they've played some man to man and Withey hasn't been too great..he dominated the zone though cuz of all the attention T-Rob got

Baylor will be lucky to get to the Sweet 16. What you think S&L?

They're incredibly talented, but not much team chemistry and just lousy coaching.

I think they are going to get a 2-3 seed, so Sweet 16 might be obtainable, but definitely not any further than that.

Syracuse/Georgetown has been more entertaining than I expected. I thought it might be close, but figured the game was just going to be a mess.

Southern Miss with a bad loss @ UAB. They should be fine though. No great wins, but a handful of good ones (Memphis, UCF, USF, Colorado State, Ole Miss, New Mexico State x 2) and great computer numbers.

St. Louis up 3 on St. Joes in a big A-10 battle. Not a game either team can afford to lose.
