Strange thing is Murray St. is the closet thing to a Cinderella so far as a #12, but with one of the top 5 guys in the NBA draft I don't think they are really a surprise. Everything else has been running close to form.I also watched St. Mary’s v. Villanova but honestly it was a boring game. SMU is all about slowdown and using all of the shotclock. Villanova played OK and got the job done playing against that style but nothing special in their performance.
Murray State was the most impressive team I saw yesterday. Apart from Morant the rest of their team is solid and athletic, they space the floor well and seem to be well coached. I think they will need more scoring from Morant against FSU. He needs to be careful with his entry passes because FSU is so long and athletic that it’s not so easy to dump passes in. This should be a great game for Hartford Saturday night. I am looking forward to it and recommend it.

Yeah I've seen some Curry & some Westbrook comparison stuff by different writers...even some that say he could go ahead of Zion.I have seen Morant play a few times now. He looks to me like the real deal. He is kind of skinny but very athletic and has an unreal crossover and first step which I favorably compare to Kemba Walker’s, and he can also shoot the rock. His moves are explosive and purposeful. However he doesn’t look like he has a scorer mindset. His instincts are pass first and score second. I think FSU is going to dare him to distribute and play the passing lanes tightly. They will play straight up. He is going to have to penetrate and score/get fouled a la Kemba. NBA scouts will be watching this game closely. I personally think Morant could be drafted overall 1, 2 or 3. I don’t recall seeing a point guard this talented in a long time.
I know I need to stop...... but physically he looks a lot like this guy:I have seen Morant play a few times now. He looks to me like the real deal. He is kind of skinny but very athletic .
Well I have to give that loudmouth Cronin credit for one thing...he's consistent .....they've made the NCAA's every year since the split ...and he's also never made it past the round of 32..Uconn can use the money and a payback for all the NCAA credits we brought these AAC slackers with the Final 4/NC run. But I'm sure Cronin & Co. will do their obligatory NCAA fold, UCF is will be out in game 2 (Duke) if they even get by VCU. So it's all up to you Kelvin Sampson.
Literally, I can't believe what I'm watching these 3 blind mice allow for VCU. They have their hands all over UCF and they are bumping em' on every trap...it looks like these refs forgot what a foul looks like because there's so much of it..... talk about inconsistent officiating !!UCF looks like they have s tough matchup tonight in VCU. When you are an offensively challenged team the last thing you need to do is face a clingy, harassing defense like VCU’s. No points for UCF so far and not even close to an open look so far. VCU is in their shirts!!!!!
Well he missed on the New Haven kid but at least KO closed on MAL. ...just what Uconn needed another push guard who can't shoot. I guess Cooley's had enough too.Waters with the game winner for LSU. I know we had/have some small dudes on our roster, but this kid can play.
