    Texas @ Gonzaga

    But yes, because of what I just said and others mentioned, you could make a good case for Texas being overhyped as a top 5 team at this point in time.

    Texas @ Gonzaga

    To be fair to Texas, they don't have much time on the court together as a team and they are breaking in a new coach. I know Gonzaga has a lot of new parts, but they also have the best player (Timme) and a coach whose been there for over 20 years whereas Texas has to learn with Beard and a bunch...

    Lol don't remind me, but he sure did. I still think after beating UK, Wisconsin had already thought they won the title. Pretty easy to see the way they celebrated after winning the game and even at their press conference before playing Duke.

    Jackson gets Green Room invite

    He also does it to support the players who came to play for him. No doubt it's done some for recruiting purposes, but Cal's a genuinely good guy even if he catches some heat on Rupp Rafters. I'd also say opposing fans, but that doesn't need to be mentioned when he gets plenty of it from UK fans lol

    Two mid-first round picks if you count Holiday, who they traded for. I think you have to count Holiday if you count MIddleton, unless you're just specifically mentioning guys they drafted.

    Kaminsky couldn't deliver the state of Wisconsin a title back in 2014 or 2015. Guess he had to make up for it 😛

    His stat line in Game 5 was very good. Granted a lot of the good for Phoenix in that one happened in the first quarter. Can't disagree tonight, though. He didn't deliver.

    Didn't know if I'd say it about Bobby Portis, either. But credit to both of them, Connaughton stepped up big in Game 5 and Portis delivered tonight. Funnily, Connaughton was also a pretty good baseball player as well. The Orioles drafted him as a pitcher some number of years ago, but it seems...

    Also credit to Bobby Portis. Guy stepped it up in a big way tonight.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he picked it up from P.J. Tucker (former teammate in Phoenix). I admittedly don't watch a ton of Bucks games, but Tucker was throwing a fit anytime he was called for a foul in Game 5.

    Congrats to the Bucks. Giannis was a man on a mission in the 2nd half and would not be denied. Between that and Devin and Ayton playing poorly, the Suns were doomed tonight.

    All-Time College Draft Winner Cowtown Cat!

    Well done. I had him on my short list of best available players. Actually expected John to go sooner on a UK forum. Shrewd selection. Excellent mid-major player at South Dakota State. I like it. Actually thought Harden might go sooner. I know we had our issues in the last draft, but...

    NBA Finals

    That was some performance by the Bucks after the first quarter. They didn't panic after falling behind 16, but rather took complete command of the game for the next two and a half quarters. Also great defense on Devin after the Suns got it down to 120-119 with the big run in the final few...

    Emeka’s a great pick. Feel he could have gone before others taken ahead of him
