Not buying it, yet. Any person who asks a player if he's coming back right now is wasting time, they either have no idea or think they can't tell the truth. So, let's not report Sullinger saying he's coming back as actual news. We'll see how he feels when raw emotions wear off.
Jonny Flynn said the same thing.
I like Butler today. UFs whole offense is ball screens - BU is outstanding at defending ball screens, maybe the best in the country
A Butler offensive rebound or loose ball is almost an automatic three. They play that as well as anyone. Shelvin Mack was one of the top guards in the preseason. Still is now.
VCU has so many weapons. Almost like Ohio State lite with the shooters surrounding Skeen. They are a lot of fun to watch. Press, lots of threes. Makes them dangerous.
Terrence Jones at #11, Alec Burks at 15 (in my mocks)- both will be lottery picks, in my opinion.
Burks is interesting. This draft is very, very shallow at the wing position, and Burks stands out to me with his shot-creating skills and scoring instincts. If he can convince a team that his long-range shooting won't be too much of an issue in the NBA, he'll be a popular name
A 6'2" shooting guard? Please, child. Can you imagine a 6'2" Jimmer at the SG position going against a 6'6" Kobe Bryant or a 6'4" Wade or 6'7" Joe Johnson or 6'8" Steven Jackson? I can't. He is a PG in the NBA. He is not a natural point guard but is developing his skills. He came into college as a shooting guard but has steadily developed his point guard abilities and decision making. He's just going to be instant offense coming off the bench in the NBA, nothing more, nothing less.
Is this a joke - he's going to be a Eddie House type. He lacks the athleticism of the average NBA point guard. His ball handling ability is efficient but lacks flash. Lacks the athleticism to finish at the rim. Yeah, his speed is very good at the college level, but no way will it be good enough against NBA level athletes. His lateral foot speed be a liability and I don't think he will be able to create shots for himself against longer and more athletic players
UConn leads Syracuse by 1, Colorado leads Kansas by 1, Duke leads Maryland by 3. I love March.
Both SU and UConn are playing terrible offensively. Both teams head into the half shooting below 30%.
UConn is so stagnant against this zone. No ball movement, no cutters. If they don't score in transition, they can't score.
Syracuse has been atrocious offensively. They are 24.2% from the floor, taking far too many quick threes, tough shots early in the clock, and getting killed on the break. UConn taking advantage of misses and Orange missing often. Another horrific 1st half for the Syracuse backcourt: Triche & Scoop are a combined 2-for-13.
Don't think so. Sorry Boston College. Maybe if you played Clemson close, but to just blow a game this late... not good for the bid chances. 1-8 vs Top 50 RPI speaks volumes. NIT-bound.
Syracuse/UConn ... I think we all remember what happened last time they met in the BET.

I think Syracuse will pull out a tight one tonight, they're playing as well as anyone right now and Connecticut is playing their 4th game in 4 nights. Kemba against the best 2-3 zone in the country is not a good matchup. Last time, these 2 teams faced each other (this year) @ Connecticut, Kemba only had 8 points .. and Syracuse was in the midst of their 4 game losing streak.
By the way, I feel no shame in admitting that I like the Big East Tournament more than the NCAA Tournament. The Garden on Friday and Saturday tops all.
