QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 11:22 PM) Just based on his 3 games in the tourney, I'd have to agree that he looks like he could be, at worst, a guy who comes off the bench to stretch the floor. If he really is viewed as a 2nd round pick I'd love to see him backing up Jo. Throwing him out there with Jo or Taj would open up the lane for those guys to go to work. Agreed. He's a good player and is actually improving in the post.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 09:44 PM) Yes, but they often have hellacious "simulation" outings in-between...some throwing almost every day. Dice K was a perfect example. Maybe they've changed that since he broke down, but one of the major concerns with Tanaka has always been the wear and tear on his arm/shoulder. We'll see. This is accurate. They believe in keeping the arm warm all the time. They throw every day just about.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 09:45 AM) Happy to see Webb made the team. Mark it down now. He will have double digit saves this year.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 10:56 PM) What's the knock on Kaminsky? Is the only reason I'm not seeing him on any draft boards is because he's a junior and is expected to return? Athleticism. Just think of how J4L would evaluate him for the NBA and that's the knock. IMO he's a contributor and maybe a starter. Maybe. He's better than Mullens and Koufos and they play.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 10:38 PM) Definitely possible but not a lock. Crazy. Sometimes one and dones don't cut it. And firsthand they can hurt a program as well

Gary Harris?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) Random thought: if UK loses tomorrow there's a chance this ff has 0 lottery picks, that's kind of crazy. Hmmmmmm.

On a side note. All Ohio red the AAU team has at least one player in the final four for I believe the 4th year in a row.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 10:17 PM) That was off Jackson. Not enough overturn but the prior call was drastically worse. Gasser fouled Johnson before the push off and that push off happens all the time without it being called. Wisconsin got away with at least 3 or 4 drastically more obvious offensive fouls that weren't called tonight. It was horrific but Zona still had chances to win. They couldn't deliver. If they were fully healthy it may have been a different tourney.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) Great game...two crazy calls at the end. Guess I didn't jinx the B10 yet. Bo Ryan deserves this coaching achievement...have always watched with admiration and secretly wished Iowa could have developed a program like Wisconsin now has. Bo Ryan really deserves this and what a great interview.

Congrats Bucky and soxbadger. Finally get the monkey off their backs.

Does this and Michigan make it so big ten fans can never complain about refs again?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 09:57 PM) Just like his dad. Should have gone to Kaminsky or Dekker. His dad was only 1000% better.

He was fouled before the push off. Once again bad timing for a call like that. Let them play.

Jackson always runs that play at the buzzer. He's hit maybe one his whole career

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 08:22 PM) Nigel Hayes hasn't made a move without committing an offensive foul yet. Wisconsin getting physical on the offensive end, don't think Zona is used to that.

Think Hayes trained a bit with Sullinger? Text book Sully elbow hook.

Need one more transfer probably.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Doesn't he have to sit? I don't think so.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 08:20 AM) MSU has the conference's most recent basketball NC and most recent football Rose Bowl win. Time for the rest of the league to start pulling their weight. Lol. One BCS game, ever. MSU is a great basketball school, they should be leading.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 29, 2014 -> 01:32 AM) Talk about the kiss of death Jeez no kidding.

Slight flop in the non call. Probably why.

Iowa st my first one out. Lou may be my second.

These late games are so much better than the early ones.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Mar 28, 2014 -> 12:40 PM) Doug Padilla ‏@ESPNChiSox 1m White Sox option reliever Guerra to AAA Charlotte. Was claimed from the Dodgers on Wed. Interesting. Daniel Webb most likely makes the team. Like I said. Webb will be closing by summer.
