So you are thinking 20/6/4 because Curry is a 18/5/3 guy now.
I could easily see Jimmer scoring 20 points a game. It depends a lot on what team he ends up on.

See I can't. I think his defense will result in his minutes being reduced at the next level and he'll be a starter on a bad team or a 6th man on a better team.

The 2 teams I would like to see win tonight or North Carolina and Ohio State, I think that would be a great game, especially in the middle with Sullinger going against Zeller.

For the people that have bashed the tournament the past couple of weeks, it actually caught some breaks. If they can Kansas and Florida to the Final 4, on the other side, you will have name teams in UCONN, Arizona, North Carolina, Kentucky with some NBA players if people need that, 2 of those 4 will play next Saturday and 1 in the Final game.

So if your CBS, as long as you don't have a Butler-VCU game, your happy.

Awful shot selection kills Florida. They should of won the game in regulation, but wasted last 30 seconds and then throw up a bad 3. So once again we get treated to Butler in the Final 4. White basketball is on fire again.

Butler has now tied Purdue for final four appearances.

They also have more NCAA tournament wins in the past two years than Indiana has Big Ten wins in the past three.

And they have the same number of National Championships as Illinois.

Last time Indiana won a championship, Reagan was president, the USSR existed, and "I Just Died in your Arms" was the #1 single in the country. I know Show-Me Staters are generally a little bit slow, but it's time to step into the 21st century.

At least Indiana has a last time...in fact they have 5 of em. When was the last time Illinois won one?

Sorry, I guess championships from decades before I was born don't get me hot and bothered like Indiana fans. Zuppke won football national championships at Illinois in the teens. Don't see me bragging about them.

Thanks for playing Magnus.

Lulz. "Indiana won a championship when you were zero so it's OK that they are the fifth best program in the state right now."

Butler deserves a lot of credit.
Yes, that regional blew up - it was a mess the whole way. But they are a "mid-major" that has made the Final 4 two years in a row. The last time a school that was not in a "big time" conference made it that far two years in a row?

UNLV.
1990-1991.

Seeing as how they beat the 1, 2, and 4 seeds, I'd say that Butler was the primary cause of the region blowing up...

No surprise that Kansas wets the bed, after having a easy path to the Final 4 set up for them last week. Once again a Bill Self coached team chokes.

:roll:

How would you have coached around 13 missed free throws? He can't shoot the ball for them.

I have to ask, is VCU-Butler the worst looking Final 4 game ever.

Any day Kansas and Carolina get knocked out is a good day for me...

I got Butler and UConn winning tonight and UConn winning on Monday

Pretty accurate. He strikes me as the next Stephon Curry.
I think he'll be better. I really liked Curry out of college too.


This kind of thinking gets your team bounced as a 1 seed.
