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.

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.

It'd be a much better something if they both lost their opening round games... preferably by double digits.

Zach Edey is getting game ready for the NCAA Tournament!

If Edey has to reach down, way down, to elbow his defender out of the way is it still a foul on his defender? Asking for FDU.
