Props to Purdue, they looked fantastic. They pose real matchup problems for Kansas--wouldn't be surprising if they beat em--assuming KS gets by Mich. St.

Thanks. I was scared even up 19. Iowa state can really light it up.

I'd be shocked if Swanigan doesn't end up having a good NBA career.

He's a lock to the Bulls. That's a given.

What's your projection of Swanigan in the NBA? I've read that he lacks the athleticism to be an impact player for his size (6'9); would he be a top-3 bench guy on a contender?

He seems like a perfect fit for the Spurs but he would never drop down to them.

You can't be a Bulls fan and cheer for Iowa State. Fuck everything that college has done to Chicago. We were all "Purdue" tonight.

Are we talking Taj Gibson level or better? I haven't seen much college BB because of work so I'm kinda behind the curve here.

You've still probably watched more Purdue than I have, but I almost feel like I don't need to see more than the first two games of this tournament to feel confident about that. Skilled players combined with very hard workers don't usually fail. at worst they round out to rotation players. He seems like a completely different player than Taj but I'd say yeah he will be as good or better than him. I would take him in the 15-20 range right now even though most mock drafts had him around 28-30th overall.

He lacks athleticism. He can struggle against really athletic guys but his struggle is still scoring 20 and 10 but giving up points on the other end. He's also becoming an elite shooter.

I believe you are correct. His floor is solid player. He could work his way to good starter or even more.

Gonna qualify this by saying I'm only watching my 2nd FSU game of the year, but this Jonathon Isaac guy isn't very impressive. This dude's a top 10 NBA prospect in a loaded draft?

Landale is the best player on the court.

Unable to watch the game, but looking at the box score and the recap tells me it was vintage postseason Iowa State...fall behind big, stage a comeback...live and die by the 3...30% from the arc, yuck. Only hope is that the kids who Prohm is bring in next year are as good as advertised. Otherwise will be a huge talent dropoff.

Congrats to Purdue...whether they are playing Kansas or MSU next, I hope the Boilermakers fucking eviscerate them.

Big East: As bad as I've ever seen Villanova play and still somehow squeaked out a win. Jalen Brunson was awful until the final 2 minutes. But, what I don't understand is why Jay Wright continues to start and play last year's NCAA hero Kris Jenkins. He is easily the winner of national least improved player. Guy spent the whole summer sitting on his couch watching last year's one shining moment on a loop while stuffing his face with twinkies. He's fat, slow, and can't shoot anymore. Can't even hit a free throw. Whole team sucks when he is on the floor. Yet, he keeps getting a ton of minutes.

Bye bye Louisville

Awesome. Blue is looking really good with the bonus of sending that pasty fuck Pitino home.
