I’m sure Mintz came to UK with the hope of playing deep into the tourney and raising that draft stock.
Now he sits at home watching his former team about to play in the sweet 16 against the top ranked team in the country.
I found it interesting that Creighton, which has a nice basketball tradition, hadn’t been to the Sweet 16 since the 1970s.
Mintz needs to come back next year, finally play in front of a packed house, and help the team go deep in the NCAAs.
So who’s everyone’s new Final Four or is yours still good? Illinois the only one I lost. I’ll stick with Zaga, Bama, Arkansas, and now I’ll go Houston.
Waited to post anything about this game to insure the Cats Illustrated jinx didn't come into play.....With 6 minutes left and down 30, I'm feeling pretty good about it.
Ive seen this USC team play about a dozen times. This is flat out the best Ive seen them play all season. These dudes are a problem...... if they keep this up(obviously I know)
I really liked the draw for them in the first couple of rounds when I saw the bracket come out with Drake/Wichita State (two teams that struggle to score) and then likely Kansas (not a vintage team of theirs, thought Mobley was a terrible matchup for KU). Funnily, Eastern Washington would have given them more of a game than the Jayhawks did. As for the Sweet 16, they'll have a tough time with Oregon. Two teams playing well and they know one another being conference foes. IMO Iowa would have been a better matchup for them seeing how awful they are defensively.
