College sports are hard to bet on, because the talent level changes yr to yr and it’s hard as hell to adjust for difference btwn leagues.
Imagine going through all of that as a Baylor fan... only to lose LOL. Poor Davion
So close to seeing Kansas go down. boo.
Creighton hung real tough, then just made a couple of mistakes in the last minute or so that they couldn't recover from. A good fight, anyway.

Duren is a live prospect. Not sure what to make of him but hard to ignore his physical attributes. Adebayo vibes. Bam ended up being way more skilled than anyone realised, so IDK if Jalen has that in him. But dude is big and athletic and has a motor.
Haven't caught up on any of today's games yet, just saw his name mentioned.

Timme is just such a good player. He can help a team at the next level.
I think Gonzaga might be pretty good.
also saw Sean Miller is headed back to Xavier. that to me is wild.

Im not convinced it’ll work. The key to guarding him is an equal sized player. Not a bigger player. Jacquez guarded him well last year. Nullify his footwork.
Don't love the commentators but that was a horrible Memphis possession.
Xavier's like, "You know what this school needs more of? NCAA Violations!!!"

This tournament has been wild. Wouldn't be surprised if we see a final four consisting of teams seeded 5 or lower. VERY highly unlikely, but if there's one thing that this tournament has proven so far this year, it's the simple fact that anything and everything can, and will, happen.
yeah it's hard to place him. On one hand, it's hard to ignore the college dominance the last 2 seasons and clearly he has a ton of offensive skill. The footwork is amazing, the passing for a big gives him a real desirable skill at the next level and he's actually pretty good off-ball too as a cutter and finding the open space.
The problem is like basically none of his strengths are desirable for a modern NBA 4. You ideally want a super long/switchable 4 that can be an elite spacer and stars having elite perimeter skills (I.E, Tatum, Siakam, Dray, KD, Giannis) (Mobley, JJJ, Jabari Smith as younger potential stud archetypes) (Gordon, Grant, PJ Tucker, Crowder, Vanderbilt as more role player types). Timme is like the complete opposite of all those guys and he won't have the rim protection (or rebounding honestly) chops to move to the 5.
If he finds a 3pt shot, I could see him sticking as an offensive threat. Without it, I just don't know how you keep him on the floor.
I almost always root against MSU so this is weird.
