I have OSU playing Wisconsin in the Elite 8, just not a huge fan of Syracuse (especially without Melo).

 

I do as well.

Sounds like Royce White is declaring.

Of course he is, by the end of it all he may be in the running for the #2 pick.

Evan Smotrycz leaving Michigan. Beilein jerked him around this year. Went a few games without even playing and was rather versatile. Good role player and with Michigans lack of a post guy this year, he should of been in there 25 minutes a game.

Hopefully I won't miss him next year with that class coming in.

I heard 2 other guys are leaving as well, Christian and Brundidge.

Yeah but I didn't know anything about them so didn't bring it up.

So which of these guys are transferring to Iowa State? Royce White already said he'd recommend it to Lockett from Arizona State.....

Oh my, Scott Drew is shady, imagine that

Why is it shady to recruit players playing for other schools, but not coaches under contract at other schools? I certainly hope coaches who feel free to leave whenever they feel like it wouldn't have a problem with another school talking with their better players about perhaps a better opportunity.

It always confused me that Smotrycz didn't play more, he's basically the perfect fit for a Princeton offense 4-man. Carmody would probably murder a litter of puppies to get that guy.

Im completely underwhelmed by Bielen.

Regardless of what you think about it, it is VERY much against NCAA rules.

Agreed. If he can't do anything with this next class coming in, I'd say it's time to find someone else, but that won't happen since he has made Michigan basketball some what relevant again.

He probably saw the writing on the wall with McGary and Robinson III coming in next year.

NW to retain Carmody. NCAAs 2013!!!!

Maybe 2014. I have a hard time seeing it next year. Their backcourt should be pretty solid with Sobolewski/Cobb hopefully healthy/Crawford and a couple other serviceable guys on the bench, but the frontcourt is completely unproven. Sure, I'd take unproven over proven crap at the center spot, but losing Shurna could be a really tough adjustment.

They should try to get Oriakhi to transfer there

Chaos at Wake Forest, as 3 starters have asked to transfer.

I'm wondering if Akeem Springs ends up at NW. Not sure how good he would be in Big Ten.

Yay, looks like Iowa State will be landing another teams leading scorer as a transfer.

I thought I noticed Crean dropping a lot more religion in interviews. A note at the end of this post mentions it.

Apparently we're looking at Alex Oriakhi too.

Anybody else incredibly bored by this year's tourney? The Duke/Missouri upsets were fun (for some of us), but with no buzzer beaters, no great individual performances, it feels like this tourney has been pretty blah so far.

Agreed. Most games have been decided pretty early. And I don't think there's been a single buzzer beater or near buzzer beater.

Definitely, I was just thinking that today. Here's hoping IU can stun everyone again tonight. Actually, I think this win would be more shocking than the first, if only because of the "Kentucky out for revenge" angle.
