Semi Ojeleye is having a great season also. He's averaging 18 Pts and 7 rebounds. He's the one player that transferred that I really wanted to see stay at Duke.
100% agreed. He would have REALLY helped last year. Strength and rebounding we really needed (all we had was Marshall) and Semi was VERY strong.
I respect his decision to transfer. In hind sight it was in his best interest. With the team we have this year no way would he get the pt he is getting. Hope he gets some post season honors. OFC
Oregon just beat UCLA. That's awesome!! I just wish DePaul had beaten Villanova though. Take care of business against Va. Tech and Duke is moving up in the polls.
Can't stand Dillon Brooks, but he's a hell of a player. His game winner against UCLA was cold blooded.
I'm with you. They have a cohesiveness and swagger that no team can match right now.
Saying Louisville can't shoot is an understatement.
The UCLA-Oregon game was very reminiscent to UK-UNC a couple weeks back. It was a great game and I'm glad I took the time to watch it.
Side note....I'm one of those guys who like Bill Walton, but last night I was able to fully understand why someone couldn't stand him. He was almost unbearable to the point I considered muting the TV.
Walton has become a caricature of himself & it's cring worthy. I'd rather Vitale or Burke on the call, that's how bad BW is.
That's twice now with Hart too. Their luck is going to run out if they keep relying on him to pull them out. Of the top teams, they scare me the least.
The great thing about that UCLA lineup is that it's structured perfectly to suit arguably the top floor general in the country. They surround Lonzo Ball with shooters from their shooting guard all the way to their center. Agreed that they look like the top team in the nation at this point, but I still like our chances to reclaim that top spot over the course of the season.
That is one of the most beautiful pieces of video I've ever seen. Excuse me a moment while I wipe my eyes. OFC
In my opinion they're a lot like that 2015 Wisconsin team. Not overly athletic but has the best offense with decent but not great defense. Wisconsin was also stacked with shooters.
Don't ever say you'd prefer Doris "dribble drive" Burke over anyone other than Len Elmore. When either do games for us I mute five min into it.
Like cousin Eddie said on Christmas Vacation. That video is the gift that keeps on giving.

I hate to do this to Bilas because I'm one of the posters here that likes him, but he said this morning that Arizona was practically a lock for the Final 4. Oops.
Also, GO GATORS!

Did you guys see where the St. Bonny fans rushed the court before time ran out. The team got a tech went into o.t. and VCU won . Justice served. OFC
Just another reason why fans shouldn't be allowed to rush the court. It's not as cool as the fans think it is and I agree it's not fair to the team. I bet it never happens again there. OFC
I couldn't be more than happy for Mike White.
And the best part about today is that Duke wins. Hopefully that one other team loses tomorrow. Also I'm glad Maryland lost!
Also don't look now, SMU and Purdue are making a late season push. Both will be dangerous to an underachieving team in the tournament.
At the same time Baylor is looking pedestrian.
The PAC-12 tournament worthy teams are looking tough right now though (Arizona, UCLA, Oregon, USC).
