LSU gifts a win to NC State by going 0 for 6 from the free throw line in the last minute of the game.
Monumental choke job in favor of LSU's opponent, whatever their name is. Mark Gottfried's team sits in a hotbed of collegiate 'conservatism' within the 'shallow south', yet he must go 0-14 on white recruits. Gottfried crucified diminutive white 5-star point guard Tyler Lewis by burning the redshirt off this McDonald's All-American then burying him for two full years: now he lies in wait at... Butler (sound familiar?)
Bittersweet that Stephen F. Austin couldn't pull the upset with their two white stars. Parker threw up a clunker under the basket against dominant freshman Croat center Jakob Poeltl, who probably led the day's white big men with 18 and 8 plus five blocks, including the fatal unfortunate swat on Parker's stateside career. Thomas Walkup still stuffed the sheet with 12-9-5, although I'm sure he wished he'd gotten fouls called on a couple of his "turnovers" (but hey).
A couple of Big Black Baller teams fell by the wayside to their hungrier, scrappier sets of raw athlete counterparts, and more or less our prominent "gritty, tough" squads persevered over their mismatches. Hoping for more of the same tomorrow and an even more fun Sweet Sixteen!
