I see what you mean on the fundamentals thing. I think it's part preparation and part youth. Very strange.

Edit: I see that we are a #6 seed, which means that we are the lowest seed to make it to NY.

And the NCAA seems like the type of organization that will take it away from him just because someone like Mike Max prematurely reported something. "We'll show you." Am I right or am I right?

If he comes back and has a great season in college, he could be a top 15 pick. Plus, the Gophers would be so much better with him drawing attention, which would open up the floor for their outside shooters. Rodney Williams could also thrive with Mbakwe on the floor.

Status: offline 		They won? That's fantastic. I watched a little bit of Baylor's lady basketball team the other day. They have a really good player that will not be available to the Lynx, who select third in the draft. I was wondering who would be more desirable on a WNBA team, she or Maya Moore.

Here she is:

Then what tournament did the Gopher Women play? You mean there is a tournament in case you weren't good enough to get invited to the tournament you get invited to when you aren't good enough to get invited to the NCAA tournament? By that time I figured you were at the NIT level.

Free Throw shooting from this kid has been amazing.
