That Syracuse game was unbelievable. Can't wait until Sunday. My son turned 20 today. He was born the day after Cuse beat Mississippi State when they had John Wallace. I still remember timing my wife's contractions and watching Cuse. The Knicks played the Magic on that Sunday and I believe it was one of those epic Ewing/Shaq battles.

My girlfriend is a big SU fan, I didn't think she was going to make it through the game last night. Exciting game, but I still don't know how they won. Gonzaga seemed like the significantly better rebounding team. Most of the boards SU grabbed were met with a sigh of relief. Orange didn't shoot exceptionally well and had too many blown layups, but damn, credit to them hanging around and doing just enough. Boeheim was praising Gbinije at the end, but it felt like Cooney made the big plays when they were needed.
Sabonis on Gonzaga looked great though!

That was an amazing game. I didn't think they had a chance being down double digits for 2/3 of the game.

Part of me wouldn't mind if Melo stumped for the Knicks to get a pick to draft him. Seems like the exact kind of player we need. I don't know if he'll enter this draft though. Maybe next year?

He would be a nice addition. I do think the Knicks have a shot at Gbinige if they acquire a second round pick.

Yeah, weren't they interested in him last summer? I feel like he may even be available as an undrafted FA. Unless he has a really huge final four.

I am not sure. Was he going to declare for the draft last year?

I remember hearing his name in connection to draft workouts? Was he in the draft and pulled out? Maybe I'm making that up. But he'd be a nice piece to try to get on our summer league squad.
Draft Express has him ranked 60th in the prospects in this draft, so he's right on the edge.

GBinije is way better than 60th. hes an excellent 3 and d wing. borderline 1st rd

Boy Ben Simmons is getting ripped apart in the media. The kid is 19 and has Good form-- why can't he devlop a J while working as a player who can play all 5 positions. He's to good of a rebounder bal handler and passed to be anywhere near a bust

agreed. he's being categorized as a BAD kid simply cuz his team didnt win, he sulked and didnt like going to classes. sounds like me when i was 19. with that said hes still an intriguing talent who can run a team at the PG position. his jumper is AWFUL, BOY is it AWFUL. i doubt he can ever improve that - looks broken. but i still think he can be a decent player - like Giannis at PG on the bucks
BRIGGS@ 4/2/2016 7:41 PM
Villanova is just a rugged physical team will compete with anyone

The problem is that he was being touted by some as a generational talent, but as the season went on his flaws, both on and off the court, were exposed.
The attitude issues on the court and in school are character red flags, and given what we've seen with Russell and OK4, does anyone really believe that teams won't be looking at this aspect of a player more closely than usual?
He seems like a player who has to control the ball to be at the top of his game...are any teams going to give him LeBron type control over their offense?
There are at least 10 players from the KP draft I would have taken over him if he had been in that draft.
And yup...that shot looks pretty broken, and the fact that he didn't fix it with all the ball he was playing before LSU tells you a lot about him, IMO.

That ending was simply ridiculous.
Rooting for the Big East team, but I thought that the game would go into overtime after the Paige shot, and figured that Villanova would fade.
The 3 pt shooting by NC was a real anomaly...don't know if you can call it "lucky," but it was hardly consistent with their season averages. If they shoot their yearly %average of 32%, this game would have been a blowout.
Villanova with only 6 assists on their 28 baskets...pretty amazing, but they got one of those assists when it counted.

Jenkins has a sweet stroke but at 6'6" he may be a tweener

Another guy from Mich State who should have a run in the NBA is Matt Costello--hes a darn replica of David Lee with better defense.
