So I'm not up to speed (and am too lazy to look) were all the charges/accusations against him dropped or recanted? 

Is Texas gonna be on the hook (see what I did there?) to pay his contract out? 

Seems like he fits in the $EC. 

Charges were dropped.

@Loaded Chicken SandwichWill you be putting out a season ending top 25?

I'll actually put one out after the tourney instead of right now.

Hang on, is this a thing now? For a guy I haven’t seen on mock drafts?

Dude is from France. Why did he even bother going to college if he's going to do this?

This is from 2 months ago but it has him as a second round pick: https://www.nbascoutinglive.com/yohan-traore/

I think this kid got confused by hanging out with too many SEC football players and just assumed skipping the post season when you’re not a natty favorite was a basketball thing too.

There is a reason you haven't seen him in mock drafts.  He averaged 2.2 ppg and 1.5 rpg.  He only played 1 minute in the SEC tournament.

Just looked, Traore was a 5 star, 24th ranked recruit last year.  I imagine this is either a precursor to him going back to Europe and playing professionally or a precursor to him putting his name in the transfer portal.

That's a great team mate there. Wouldn't want him here.

Well that is ridiculous! Hopefully this doesn't become a thing and ruin college basketball. Can't believe this guys stats and he thinks he's going pro? You can't get minutes against kids and you think your going to compete against grown men at a professional level? Get real

If I were an NBA team he would be off of my draft board.

Duke won 9 in a row during that time period

[HoosierFan1994]

Filled out my serious bracket last night..most challening one ever!!

IU- I have IU beating Kent State and then Drake. I think Omier is a huge injury for Miami. As for Houston-IU I picked Houston. However, if Sasser is really banged up (have to assume he will be fine to play) they could lose in the Sweet 16 or 2nd round. 

South: Arizona over Alabama with Furman and Baylor in the Sweet 16. I'll be stunned if it's not Arizona-Alabama in the Elite 8. Baylor or Creighton could maybe get there. 

Midwest: Houston over Texas with Xavier and IU in the Sweet 16. Any 4 of these teams could make the Final 4. IF Sasser is hurt I probably pick Texas. I'd like Xavier if Freemantle was playing. 

West: Gonzaga over UConn with Kansas and UCLA in the Sweet 16. My pick would be UCLA but the injury to Clark hurts..especially in a game against Gonzaga. Kansas just isn't deep and I think UConn could expose that. 

East: Marquette over Duke with Memphis and Kentucky in the Sweet 16. Yes...I have Memphis beating Purdue in the 2nd round. Dukies will get them in the Sweet 16...if they could get by Oral Roberts. I'm picking Marquette because they are hot right now. However, I could see Michigan State getting to a Final 4. Izzo has done more with less. 

Give me Arizona over Houston in the final..and I don't feel great about it.

They actually went 7-0 during that time period.  But yes, 9 in a row overall.

Wouldn't it be something to see Kentucky face Purdue in the Elite 8

No because I wouldn't know who to root for.
