Remember when I was at a UF game a few months ago and one of my main takeaways was my fanboy reaction to watching UF’s unknown big Thomas Haugh?

Yup. He is it.

Beautiful play call and execution.

Tough teams winning games. Guards winning games. Athletic teams winning games. Are we paying attention yet?

That was one thing I noticed about IU's roster this past year.  There were no explosive athletes on the roster.  We had good players with some good skill sets, but we had no one that could jump out of the gym.  Before his injury, Jakai may have been that.  Hopefully, CDD will add some explosive athletes.  One thing I liked about Crean was that he tried to make a point of adding athletes in his recruiting classes.

No doubt. Dogs and athletes. Ones that can shoot, a double plus. I’m excited to see where we go with the roster. It’s going to tell us a lot.

FLORIDA LEADS

LOL - may want to tighten up that 3pt defense

These two games tonight shows you don't have to hire a huge name to be successful.

TT hired a coach from N. Texas

FL hired a coach from San Francisco 

Alabama hired a coach from Buffalo

Duke hired a career assistant coach

Never gets called -- but Clayton traveled on that inbounds pass. 

He was shuffling his feet as he threw it in. Can't do that.

Effing SEC

Florida punches their ticket to the Final 4

[TheWatShot 15,416]

I had St. John's in the Final Four, so this game wouldn't do anything for my bracket, but it could have messed up the brackets for my competitors who picked Florida. 

 

I usually begin reaching the burnout phase of March Madness when I find myself rooting for an underdog to help me out, then the other team comes back from the dead to win.

Clayton is such a freakin’ Guy. That kid is utterly fearless. 

[LamarCheeks 21,909]

Wonder how many Florida coeds will be getting texted photos of Golden's junk tonight???
