Marquette is the team to follow if you are not a fan of the Transfer Portal.  Shaka has said he doesn’t like using it and I’m pretty sure the last 2 years he hasn’t used it definitely didn’t this year.  He got Kolek after his freshman year but that one felt more like a normal transfer.  I loved watching them play last year and this year is no different.  Love the way they play.  Must see for me

The Marquette big man reminds me a lot of TJD

Nicolas Timberlake was one of the most sought after transfers in the portal.  He ended up at Kansas and isn't getting on the court much and is just an offensive afterthought -- getting 4 points per game in about 15 minutes.  And if Arterio Morris hadn't been removed from the team due to his situation, Timberlake would be getting even less time.  Instead of going to a power 5 team where he could show case his abilities, Timberlake is farther from getting a shot at the NBA than he was before.

Hopefully we'll see some transfers start taking more into account their role on places they transfer to. 

It boggles my mind that this isn't considered every time. Yet regularly Duke, pUKe, Kansas, etc stack guys at the same position and they seem thrilled...until they're not. I'm not sure Timberlake would be the answer for IU, but I sure woulda liked to find out. I suspect he does now, too.

Battle for Atlantas starts today at noon.  N Iowa/N Carolina start the day out.   I miss the day of having to find this tournament on AXS tv.   Good times.   Another loaded day of hoops.  Enjoy the day hoops junkies

Early on the refs are keeping UNC in it.

Shaka is a fun watch on the sidelines. Looks like a 6th defender at times

North Carolina woke up.   Down 6 at half and now up 18.  Best I’ve seen them play in a long time

I remember years ago, UNI knocked of Kansas (the top seed) and went to the Sweet 16. 

Ben Jacobson was the next big thing -- ala Shaka Smart, Anthony Grant, Jeff Groce, Andy Enfeld, Archie Miller (gulp), and the list goes on and on. 

Not sure what offers he had, but I'm sure there had to be some. But he stayed put. Had a couple more really good years, but for the most part .. meh. Rather than wanting to taste the bright lights -- so to speak -- of a P5 conference, he stayed put. 

Guess for him, that was the right call.

Vescovi to me today 

3/4 from 3 in the first half.    
Kansas/Tennessee tied at half 

[TheWatShot 13,827]

Midway through the second half, only 20 total fouls called between Kansas and Tennessee. Must be different refs from Purdue-Tennessee last night.

Alternate theories?

Crean is a good man, good recruiter, horrible coach. He couldn’t make the final four with 6, 1000 point scorers.

I have been down the last two days after a minor procedure and have watched alot of college basketball. Well more than I usually can. It is confirmed that we need to shoot and make more threes to win. It also imo helps get second chance points as the board come off long. All these teams I am watching are letting them fly and having success

I am starting to lose count of how many 3 sec violations Edey has this game.
