Wow seriously wonder why I follow sports sometimes
Well tonight was crushing. I don't think I'll be watching very much of the tournament from here on out.
I suppose the winner of Gonzaga and Xavier would be the best option.....
Having Duke and UCLA crash out are the two biggest disappointments but UCLA's defense was shaky all year. Duke had the pieces to take it all the way though. Wisconsin had a better than expected year and for what it is worth a few cheering up points Showalter and Happ played well although foul trouble for Happ was tough . Lonzo Ball was HORRIFIC last night. He was one of the main reasons UCLA came up short. In fact his play in general has gotten worse down the stretch of the season. Fox clearly outplayed him and was obviously quicker and more athletic. Too much hype for this dude. The third best player on Kentucky last night was Derek Willis. He missed some three pointers but overall he was all over the place and did hit two huge three pointers late that helped put the game away. Too bad he is a senior but he is a good athlete and an important cog for a young KY squad. Canyon Barry is a senior bench player for FL and has not really played great during the tournament but he can heat up fast and had a key block down the stretch last night. He is a very good leaper and like his Grand Pa shoots free throws underhanded.
Tonight there are two or three guys worth a grain of salt to me at least. Svi played well for Kansas in his last game so hopefully he makes some more noise. Gonzaga has two bench players that the NBA are monitoring. Zach Collins who is immense and Tillie a French player who is an outstanding athlete. Macura of Xavier is a good all around player. None of the above mentioned white guys are the designated stars of their teams but all of them are capable of having big games as we head down the stretch. Let me just add another thought. Remember when Grayson Allen burst out of nowhere and played great in the title game three years ago? Just saying even though some of the teams we were rooting for are gone not all hope is lost.
Kotsar had 12 points/3 rebounds in 36 minutes for the Gamecocks........looking for things to cheer about at this point......
That can't possibly be true, can it? Maye was a top 100 recruit coming out of HS, albeit in the 90 range. He would have been a real cuck to pay his way to play at NC.Luke Maye.......33 points in the last two games.......maybe old Roy will give that 'walk-on' a scholarship now.....

I think he should stay as well, as he only plays around 20 mins a night for Gonzaga doesnt even start some games. If he stayed he would be the Zags top player next season and maybe even put himself in the top ten of next years draft.After the victory Few said "Our culture is just so strong. This was a culture win, and a culture statement, and I couldn't be prouder." What a great perspective for a coach and a program.
Just read that Zach Collins is being considered as a first round pick if he goes pro not after next season, but THIS year. That would suck if Gonzaga doesn't have him next season.
