Ingram and Allen are putting on a show against Yale.
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

you vs. the guy she tells you not to worry about

Kentucky loses to Indiana.

Tyler Ulis 27 points.

Indiana could be a tough out for UNC if they meet.

Sabonis had 19 and 10 on 8/12 shooting and gonzaga upsets Utah. Poeltl was limited to just 5 and 4

Tar Heels still alive, looking good. Dunn was in foul trouble for most of the night. Showed some flashes, walks around like D Wade, but left something to be desired. Bentil had a really nice game, though - seems he can stretch the floor pretty well for his size.

Didn't watch Utah but feel vindicated for having referred to Poeltl as "Timofey Mozgov" in another thread recently. All set with that selection at #4-5... would rather reach on Jamal Murray (or even Dunn).

What about Hield? Would you take him at 4 or 5?

Probably not, I think there's more upside in guys like Murray, Dunn and Ellenson. He's on the low end for size at SG and I'm not sure he'll get his shot off as easily at the next level. If he was running around screens and gunning like Redick, maybe, but he's creating off the dribble a lot in college. Not sure if he can do that at the next level.

Poetl scares me, I was surprised by his ability to drive on offensive, but he still looks wooden out there.

I wouldn't be against the C's using their pick or the Dallas pick to grab Duke's Allen. The kid is pretty tough and athletic to play at the next level.

First time I saw Dunn for a full game.  He reminded me of John Wall, though with less breakaway speed and a better outside shot.  Also seems a bit niftier in his rim attacks.  But he moves like a superior athlete in a PG sense: not just running/jumping, he has excellent body control.  Seems like he'll be a starter at the next level for sure.  Potential all-star.

Poeltl I hadn't seen before the tourney but other than being huge I'm not sure what the appeal is.  Thoroughly unimpressive.

But most importantly for me, my #1 team Syracuse (UNC is #2) after inexplicably getting in, has a 15 and an 11 seed between it and an Elite 8 spot.   Then likely a Virginia team with a history of tournament disappointments that they've seen before in the ACC.  Big opportunity for them tonight and hopefully next weekend.
