2016 NCAA Tournament

[csfansince60s]

Some potential draftees playing today:

12:10 Jarrod Uthoff
2:40.  Demetrius Jackson
5:15.  Buddy Hield
7:10.  Diamond Stone, Melo Trimble, Layman, Carter
8:40.  Nigel Hayes
9:40.  Deandre Bembry

Not many marquee names here...oh well!

how is Gonzaga beating anyone an upset anymore?

Yup....that talk is from the 70's .

Well they didn't have a great year, and were a #11 seed, so yeah, it's an upset.

Amazing how few potential first round picks are left in the tournament.  By my count (using Draft Express's top 30), only Ingram, Hield, D. Jackson, Stone, Sabonis, Allen and Johnson.  7 of the top 30 prospects.

TP...edited my post and then I saw this....very true.

So many internationals, and Cal has 3, and the underachievers they are, they're gone.

I'm all a board on the Hield bandwagon and there's still room! Join me!

What do people think of Jamal Murray of Kentucky? I really like his ability to read defenses, his shooting/driving game, and his point guard skills as a 2.

(Sorry if he was already mentioned, I didn't read the whole thread)

Saw that Poeltl got outplayed by Sabonis yesterday.  Disappointed we didn't get to see more of him in the tourney.

Dunn had a huge game in a losing effort against UNC though.

Phone messed up the above post... But Hield and Murray are my top two choices outside of the top 2. We need guys with the potential to be elite scorers (if we don't trade the pick)

Yep. Originally I wanted Brown but he's not exactly the scorer we need. And the last thing I want is another "scrappy, gritty defender" type of player. We need offensive talent and Murray/Hield are just that.

Great game -- S F Austin loses to Notre Dame on a tip-in with 1.5 left.   A couple of questionable calls (IMO) go in favor of ND in the last couple minutes.  Too bad for the possible Cinderella SFA.

finally get to see Buddy play in a live game.

Looks like the potential best matchup is going to be in the final four. Duke vs OU

Maybe after the game can you perhaps give us a small summary, let us know how he was? I, for one, am super busy today and can't watch the game

Beginning of the 1st -
so far not overly ball dominant, picks his spots. Playing good defense (fights over screens), altered a shot or two. Good court vision. Seems to stand around though, watching the plays develop, and not moving without the ball too much. Has missed all 3 shots though (might be the main focus of the defense to pressure him)
Middle -
Looking for the ball more, has a few baskets, and a few missed heat check 3s. Seems a step slow on defense. Not the most athletic guy out there but seems to work with what he has. Paul Pierce type of guy if he was a guard.
