Individually, no. However, the team is basically all Freshman and Sophomores as a group...and UM still has probably 4 future 1st rounders, whether this year or next year...

Yet they are playing for the national championship. I think the point was made.

I hope Louisville wins on Monday night. Should be a great game.

I was just kidding around. I'm just tired of hearing about him, to be honest. Everyone is acting like Ware took a bullet in the line of duty. He injured his leg playing a game. Shut about about it.

Certainly closer than McGary.
Hmmm...ok.

Do you think C.J. Fair or MCW have a chance of returning to school?

Agreed. I was just shocked at how many times he was shown before, during and even after the game.

Literally, the kid had the best seat in the house and is a celebrity. He's almost made enough appearances and connections, and made the most of them with his charisma and attitude, he might have a career outside of basketball...

Same guy who was involved in both the Tennessee and Central Florida NCAA violations...he sure landed on his feet at UL...

Michigan this year.

When it comes down to it, top tier Freshman and Sophomores rule this sport. It makes it very difficult to get it done if you don't have any of them.

Even Louisville has Behanan (Sophomore), Harrell (Freshman), Ware (Sophomore), Blackshear (Sophomore) in their top 8.
For every two freshman and sophomore-laden years that you can point to, I can point to two more that were won by veterans. UConn in 2011, Duke in 2010 and UNC in 2009. And two of those titles were won during the Calipari one-and-done era. It goes both ways.

No reason to get your panties in a bunch. Was just make a point. I'm happy y'all are representing the BIG. The point has still not been made making it there and winning it are two different things.

Congrats again Michigan.

I hope they do. As we've been talking about, there could be five or six absolutely stacked teams next season. It could be a GREAT year, maybe the greatest ever if certain players return to school.

Cuse does have a nice class coming in. It will be hard to replace their top 4 players though. Returning MCW and Fair would give them a veteran guard and wing. Their frontline with Keita, Coleman, Christmas has the potential to be scary.

He doesn't like the media. He's always that way. After what the media did to Bernie Fine and by trying to turn Syracuse into Penn State Part Two, I can't say I blame him anymore.

Second straight year Syracuse has beaten one B1G team only to lose to another.

This is a good point, too. I think the problem with Boehiem is that he is just way too thin skinned. He barely even has skin it's so thin.

It was Gregg Doyel asking questions that got him going. Doyel is a douche so I have no problem with his answers.

No, Doyel asked dumb questions.
Boeheim made it clear numerous times this season that he will be back next season. Quit asking dumb questions.
