Agree on Green, who may need to become more of a 2 if he stays; but the guard spot could get very crowded, especially if Hagens comes as seems to be a very viable option (but would it be for '18 or '19?). Wenyan's another story as it seems to be more of an immediate money thing with him; but would love the front court depth & experience if he stays.

After reading Knox, Sr.'s quotes, I'm thinking #3. Knox seems genuinely torn, and knows he might be better served staying due to his extreme youth (doesn't turn 19 until August). Dad says "if he comes back it's to win a championship......." and referenced Shai stopping short of saying they're discussing between themselves about coming back together. Getting interesting, especially with the incoming class small by UK standards.

Game, set, match! Congrats 'Nova!!

If Michigan doesn't make a run here in the next few minutes, it's over.

Are we sure he was "asked back", or did the suspension have ramifications?

Forgot to include a post-season bonus??

Really don't know and too uninterested to investigate, but Pac-10 got 3 in; how many did Buffalo's conference get in?

Or maybe they & their conference were overrated?? Buffalo's really good, and hopefully used up all their shots tonight?

Buffalo looks pretty darn good!

Good showing by the often overrated PAC-10.

I'm quite certain the Browns messed this up, and maybe even got cold feet; but if my team was getting high 2nd & 3rd rounders for an unproven backup QB who didn't figure in my plans, I'd have had someone sitting in their offices feeding the fax machine, computer, etc. In business, you can't just sit back & hope things go as planned sometimes. Good front office's find a way to get things done, and bad one's sit back & hope.

Sounds like a typical Bengals' move--May get a 5th or so in the end, when if they knew how to pick up a phone, they'd have gotten two high Cleveland picks?? Good job by their GM, I mean owner--Wait, they're one in the same??

1. N. Mex. St. over Clemson 2. SD St. over OSU. 3. Davidson--No 4. Murray St.--Heck No.

Shocking to think money would figure into any of these tournaments? :lol:

Hard to argue, even though he does do it rather "tongue in cheek". By that logic then it would seem ESPN is feeding the BBN haters as well?? BTW--All involved seemed to enjoy the exchange, and it made for great TV.

While never pretending to understand any of the NCAA's twisted "logic"; it does appear teams seldom improve their seed or tourney chances (auto bid aside), but can diminish their standing in the conference tourneys? The power leagues' tournaments seem to have little effect on their teams' seeding when it's all said & done. Listened to the "rationale" by the committee for Oklahoma getting in and they said the old "body of work" explanation; without mentioning the dreadful second half of the season (which by the way is when they played the meat of their schedule). I'll always believe this was a Trae Young selection, plain & simple and was predestined regardless of their record, etc.

It's called entertainment--ESPN crew & Cal know exactly what they're saying & their audience.

No they always get the cake walks, just don't convert sometimes.

BTW--Texas another joke that got in. Wrong thread.

We might be able to arrange that, IF the Trae Young's get that far. Might just say Duke will win by however many shots Young takes (usually 30-40/game).

If they get OK, they'll win by 40+.

Duke, uncharacteristically, didn't get their normal cake walk to the elite 8.

I'd say Virginia has the biggest beef in this draw. #1 overall seed gets and underseeded "Zona, the best 5 seed in it's immediate draw; and then a very strong #2.

Oklahoma getting in is a real joke. Two victories since January, and 7-12 in 2018--WOW.

Great point--Put me in the camp that thinks most of the top guys aren't lily white. Heck, even Xavier up here in our area does't look too clean; and they're certainly not getting the 5 stars. As one poster said, "This in one runner for one agency"; lots more possibilities out there. Hoping the boys in Lexington have been smart as well, as Cal's certainly been a marked man by Emmert & Co.
