Wow Bates is a 50/40/90?

Unreal watching Tamar Bates be the go to option on a tournament team. Good for him. What could have been here seeing what Bates, Banks, and Gunn did this year. 

I hate to do the whole piling on the fan base thing but we can absolutely do a better job of just letting kids grow and develop. They’re not going to be perfect as freshman and sophomores

In fairness I think coaching had by far more to do with it than anything.

The 2010 tournament was the ultimate what could’ve been:

- Armon Bassett led 14 seed Ohio over 3 seed Georgetown

- Xavier went to the SW16 with Jordan Crawford and Tu Holloway

- West Virginia went to the F4 with Devin Ebanks

Mccollum looks like he could be brothers with Doug Gottlieb or Ben Stiller.

That might have done it, great pass by Stirtz

St. John’s cannot shoot the ball worth a darn. That’s not a recipe for success in March. They were on my early exit watch

As bad as Drake has been from the line I would have thought about extending the game starting on that possession rather than losing the gamble on a trap press.

Just another example of how bad our coach has been

McCollum to West Virginia...let's speak it into existence. Or basically anywhere but Iowa.

Just a shame he cannot play! 

[sirhoosierlot 3,651]

Wonder if Hornsby watched the boy wonder 

[RoadRage 2,956]

You know McCollum is going to Iowa!

I definitely don't want him in the B1G.

If Shaka Smart leaves Marquette, it would be so funny to see McCollum shun Iowa for Marquette.

He’s D2…that’s glorified hs…right?

One similarity between Drake and Indiana back in the day, it seems like even if you know what they’re gonna do and that they’re going to do it, you may still not be able to stop them.

Not the fanbase as much as the Wizard of Broad Ripple...

Great game. Love seeing Mizzou go down to Ben & Co.
