Wow wow wow

San Diego St wins it on a coast to coast driving layup at the buzzer.

Air Force had taken a 1 pt lead with 4.5 seconds on a tipped in missed FT.

Mountain West mayhem at its finest

Cal in the SEC win column at Arkansas 68-65. Iffy call for the winning free throw but Georgia didn’t box out on the missed second one so screw em.

That last FT will be showing up come film time.

I'm a sucker for the Big Ten Tournament -- particularly in Indy, which is by far the best venue for it (United Center blows because there is literally nowhere to go between sessions).  Get tickets any time it's in Indy or Chicago and went ahead and got tickets for Wednesday through Friday this year.  FWIW, Wednesday tickets are incredibly cheap right now and it will still be decent basketball -- 9 through 14 seeds since the 15-17 aren't in it.  And the games on Wednesday start at 3:30 and have 25 minute breaks between, so one ticket gets you three games.  I was able to get two tickets for a total of $64 AFTER fees and they were in the 100 level.

I hate to keep harping on him, but the kid I really wanted IU to go after in the portal last year was Tobi Lawal....mentioned him earlier in this thread.  I thought he was a perfect guy to play the four, rotating behind Ballo and Reneau.  Also knew he was very raw but could leap like no one else AND he had not been playing basketball that long (grew up in England).  As a freshman at VCU, he was a guy who was an end of the rotation guy -- 5.6 minutes per game.  Big jump as a sophomore, averaged 18.9 minutes, 7.7 points, 6 rebounds.  Pretty quiet when he hit the portal and ended up at Virginia Tech where he leads them in both points and rebounds (12.5 and 6.5).

One thing I did like about him was he had a developing perimeter game to go along with his outstanding athleticism.  Only took 7 threes last year (made 3)...this year, to go along with 60% shooting from the field, is hitting 46% of his threes (17 of 37, including 7 of 12 in his last three games).

Kid is going to play in the NBA someday IMO.  The athleticism and raw tools are just too much to ignore and if he were at IU, playing him at the 4 over Reneau would have solved a LOT of problems because he's capable of guarding multiple positions.

And he's a great kid.  Here is a feature Va Tech did on him.

Maryland up 29-22 at Illinois 

This version of the Terps will have the Hall an ugly place Sunday. 
Fortunately (or unfortunately) they are wildly inconsistent.

oh yeah, Queen is a stud

Could make it tough on IU but it is actually a team that we might match up with okay with two bigs considering they play Reese and Queen together.

I wish I could agree about matching up well. I hadn’t watched MD play until tonight. But they use those two bigs on the floor MUCH differently than we do. They’re long and athletic and move well around the perimeter. I actually think they might be a problem for our defense even though on paper it looks good.

Will Michigan attempt to plant a flag at center court if they win? Let's hope so.

They have a chance to give Purdue back to back home losses which probably has not happened in a really long time

Devries is so high on my list. 

If Stevens and May say no, then I probably give him a call next.  

Look at Drake's record before he got there. Now doing good things at WVU.

He clearly gets it.

Only 49 with with a winning percentage over 70%. He's making less than $3M/year at WV. Yeah, he can probably be had if we want him. Looks like it would be a good hire. Good call.
