Well if UConn wins…I win 1st and 2nd place
In my wife’s office pool I’m going to finish 2nd by 1 point and only winner gets a payout
South Carolina is so good and so deep. Staley is a great great role model.
Would have liked to see Clark win one. Just ran into buzzsaw SEC teams last couple years.
What on earth. Calipari to Arkansas.

I’m reading he wanted the Ohio State job
Final four was a snoozer. Purdue’s backcourt 11 points on 4-15 shooting. Not great.
Women’s games were actually much more interesting.
Hurley literally stepped onto the court and lightly pushed his player where he wanted him to go and acts shocked when the refs call it. So obnoxious.
Give Edey the MVP anyways. 33 points. No one else on his team did shit.

Clingan was in foul trouble and I think UConn didn’t mind Edey getting his two points when they were also scoring equally well with a comfortable lead. UConn wasn’t letting anyone else on Purdue beat them.
Edey was fun to watch. Sadly I don’t know that his style translates to the NBA. Last I saw he was projected to go late in first round.
We saw exactly why Edey will get dominated in the NBA. Clingan goes out, Hurley goes back to back PnR with Jonson and Newton — Edey not quick enough to show and recover, alley-oops. Hes the most dominant college player I have seen in awhile, but just doesn’t have it for nba. He couldn’t really move Clingan and that’s what he will get in NBA, but even better quickness and athleticism.
We saw guards who will play in Europe, vs lottery picks tonight. Hurley said Edey will eat, but it’s going to be very tough for him, and no one else. Purdue’s guards not good enough to get open on their own, and can’t break down anyone 1v1. On flip side, UConn was able to do just that.
Lastly, Hurley is incredible. He really draws up some masterful game plans and they are executed.

But he’s on the floor, wearing out refs and nudging his player while on the court lol

Just making sure you noticed 😁
He’s an incredible coach
Oh I notice. It drives me as nuts as Shaka does.
…but I must admit I missed the touching last night, and was mystified they called out of the coaches box on him. Then saw the replay, and laughed as hard as I have in a long time watching a sporting event. What on earth was he doing!??!! Llol

Bucks possibly dodged a bullet there. With Holtmann, they were able to pull off the "lose to a 14-15 seed in the first round" thing that's Calipari's specialty now. Ohio State would get a lot of buzz and a lot of pure talent one-and-done mercenaries and probably win a couple more games per year than Holtmann typically did, but I'd rather have a younger guy capable of adjusting/thriving with today's NIL and rampant transferring instead of an older guy whose recent results indicate he's becoming just another coach in that environment.
