I see him as a Ben Gordon type energy scorer off the bench. He's just kind of a tweener with his size. He's not really a natural PG at the next level, but he's not big enough to play the 2 as a starter. IMO.

PG all the way.  Some of his PG skills are overlooked because for much of the season he was their only offense.  He really has great vision and is an excellent passer, but because of the lack of scorers on this UConn team, he played shoot first quite a bit this year.

He's got the ability to do it, he's just going to have to work on his decision making a lot.

Huge, huge blow to Baylor's tourney chances, obviously.

http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/Jalen-Rose-criticizes-Duke-in-upcoming-Fab-Five-?urn=ncaab-wp113

Duke doesn't "profile". It takes intelligence and scholastic achievement to get into Duke. Jason Williams/Grant Hill/Shane Battier/Carlos Boozer/Elton Brand/Nolan Smith/Kyrie Irving, etc., etc., etc. were smart enough and good enough to play at Duke. Rose/Jackson/King weren't. And they're bitter because of it.

Well, that and the fact that Coach K and his boys beat the hell out of them in that title game.

I think he'll be the second PG drafted, after Irving.

me too.

and ya, i'd guess whoever wins that might even get the "3rd" #1 seed at this point. unless notre dame continues to look as dominant as they did yesterday.

I'd say Fredette and Knight will both go above him (assuming Knight comes out) and maybe Nolan Smith.

But that's also why I say "longterm". I could see him starting early if it's a bad team, but I'm not convinced he'll be good enough to start over the long haul. Should be interesting. I do think this draft "could" be much, much better than everyone seems to be saying. All depends on Irving and Barnes coming out IMO. I really think both will be great NBA players. And there's quite a few others with great potential IMO.

First that historic comeback yesterday.

Now up by 16 on UNC in the 2nd half.

Also, never know (even this game will be tough) but I could see Georgia winning the SEC tourney; it is at home basically.

And if they make the tourney (think a win today seals it) I could see them pulling an upset or two. They have the talent; all about putting it together for a game or two.

Northwestern and Miami both should have finished the job.

The comebacks in the tourneys have been amazing so far.

He should be solid, not special IMO. We'll see.

He gets a LOT of calls in college. Don't think he'll get so easily bailed out at the next level.

Last night was one of the best nights of basketball I've ever seen.

Syracuse/UConn
Fredette going for 52
Louisville/Notre Dame
Vandy/MSU
VaTech/FSU

Just a ridiculous night of games. And that's after some crazy games earlier in the day too.

Can't wait for today's action. Hopefully Nolan Smith is okay.

Love the story about Maryland coaches asking ESPN about Kyrie Irving working out before the game: "He's not playing, is he?"

Status: offline 		Curious everyone's thoughts on these tourney bubble teams. Not what teams "will be in", but what teams "should be in" in your mind. I'll start:

11 spots up for grabs

Tennessee--no, most inconsistent team in the country
Michigan--yes
Washington--yes
Villanova--yes, barely
Richmond--yes
Illinois--yes, barely
Saint Mary's--yes, barely
USC--no
Colorado--yes
Virginia Tech--yes
Clemson--yes
Penn St.--no
Texas El-Paso--yes, barely
Georgia--no, barely
Boston College--yes, barely
Alabama--no, barely

Also, who should be the #1 seeds? I'd go:

Ohio State-win or lose
Kansas-win or lose
Whichever of Duke/UNC advances farther
Pitt

with the 2's being:
Notre Dame
Texas
Whichever of Duke/UNC loses out
Winner of BYU/San Diego State game

At this same rate the Duke/UNC rubber match tomorrow's going to take about 4 hours. Uggh.
