Why is Jordan bone not an nba prospect? He's lightning quick and a good defender

Purdue very fortunate to win this game. That foul on the 3 pointer at the end of regulation on TN didn't look like a lot to it. Think that would be let go more than called in that situation.

This is why I laugh when the SEC. Network tries to tell us the SEC is a really strong conference.

He jumped into a shooter and made contact. I don't understand why people keep saying it was ticky tack. Any contact on a jump shooter in the air is going to be called, as it should.

Sorry, SEC is/was strong this year. SEC has/had 4 teams in the sweet 16 (25%). Besides histoically strong ACC, NO other conference comes close.

Kentucky is the only team that could withstand having to play Duke and UNC multiple times a season. Just my thoughts

Not if the defensive player is maintaining his space. Jumping into a player who is not reaching toward the shooter should not be called. It's yet another bullshit call inherited from the NBA which to many is unwatchable due to this very type of interpretation of the rule.

Yeah, it was a good call. Unfortunately for Tennessee.

He wasn't maintaining his space... he jumped into Edwards

Edwards went straight up. Turner clearly jumped forward into his space. Watch the replay from the baseline and pause it both before Edwards goes up and once they've both come down. Edwards lands right where he jumped from (except his right foot is further back because he was bumped), and Turner lands with his left foot almost exactly where Edwards' right foot left from.

Easy call every time.

4 of the 16 teams in the sweet 16 were from the SEC.. I laughed at this post...

Who said the SEC is/was better than BG10? My point is that the SEC is strong this year in basketball with 7 of 14 making the NCAAT and 25% of final 16.

25% of the college teams still playing were SEC teams. And if we're being honest, State and Auburn probably should've been there too. That's incredible depth.

At the top, we've only got 1 team that can play with the top of the ACC... but the ACC only has two teams that can play at top of their own conference so it's really not much difference.

Swing and a miss... was thinking Florida, but I do think Auburn is going to struggle with Kansas. I haven't been that impressed with Michigan. Florida should've won that game IMO.

Hate to hate on Virginia but I honestly don't think they'll win a Final Four game. I expect the other two to play for the Natty. That said, you're right that they can beat most SEC teams, but if you're throwing them in the group I'd throw Tenn in too.

Virginia won at unc and lost by 2 at duke; duke beat at Virginia by 10 in a flukish game for duke (13-21 from 3 for duke). Virginia is a damn good team Pomeroy has them #1

They're the #2 overall I believe. They're a great team. I just don't think theyre long enough to consistently hang with Duke, UNC, or even Kentucky. I do think they could beat any of them in any given night, but I'd take any of those three over VA on a given night.

Guess we'll find out. Virginia and Texas tech are the best defensive teams left, and I really value defense. I have Virginia winning it all

Good point. I like Texas Tech a lot too. They're going to be a very tough out. I've got them beating the Zags.

Anyone believe we need a big ol' white boy in the center knocking people around to get us further in the tourney? Look at those corn fed midwesterners.

Again Q is the only player we had / have that would have started for Auburn right now ..

That's likely true. Okeke going down is killer for them.

As much as I dislike Pearl and Auburn, they are fun to watch.

Very athletic and fast. Okeke being out will be tough for them to move on.

I can't recall seeing a Coach hollering and screaming instructions on the sidelines as much as Pearl. I'm surprised he hasn't had a "Roy Williams" moment. He looks like he is about the explode.

Auburn is extremely fun to watch. Kentucky will murder them in the paint without okeke though. As much as I hate auburn, I feel sorry for them and esp okeke

I would love to see Auburn continue winning, yes on feeling bad for Okeke.

Btw, Maybe I'm in the minority but I wish they would move the 3 point line back some, Maybe to the International line.
