Watford is having the game of his life.

I'm going to say it, MKG has a little bit of D Wade in him.

Robinson isn't managing the constant double team well. He's an amazing rebounder though. Terrific instincts, length, hands, and strength. That's going to translate to the NBA.

He's a pure PF, not a tweener.

Des, you know who really used to kill me? Caron. At the end. I don't know if he was hurt or had lost athleticism or if he just didn't give a **** anymore, but he used to get the ball at the 3-point line, go between his legs about three times, never moving forward, never making his defender move and then he would just pull up and throw up a 3. God that used to kill me. I seriously started to hate him.

6/12 isn't exactly struggling either. If his team mates could hit an open shot the double team wouldn't be working.

Can MKG play shooting guard?

That's my one on one move on the black top! Get your defender to bend down so you can jack up a shot over them when you're too tired to run around anymore.

Robinson and Withey are just so relentless on the offensive glass. That's a good front court duo. I think they can match anyone else in the country in quality.

Yeah probably.

I've seen Pippen talk surrounding MKG in terms of his ability to do it all. MKG is an alpha player though. Point forward naturally, but definitely has some SG ability. Maybe some Joe Johnson in that regard?

He'll need to develop his mid range game though.

Kentucky has only missed two FTs. Why does Indiana keep fouling? Better off letting them just shoot.

---------- Post added March-24th-2012 at 12:24 AM ----------

Meh, that was probably a charge. Definitely wasn't a block. His feet were completely set.

C.J. Leslie has some really nice scoring instincts and good footwork and touch around the basket.

Kansas is in full choke mode

[stevemcqueen1]

Kansas has no go to offense. Tyshawn Taylor has sucked something fierce.

You ain't lying

Why in the **** would you take that deeeeep 3 pointer down by 1?

[stevemcqueen1]

Tyshawn Taylor sucks.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I understand the quick shot, but that ain't the shot to take.

---------- Post added March-24th-2012 at 12:42 AM ----------

Wow. Great inbounds play

---------- Post added March-24th-2012 at 12:45 AM ----------

NC State choked. Didn't even give themselves a chance to try to win.

[stevemcqueen1]

Robinson needed to make the first one there. Overall, good game from him. 18 and 15 with two asists and two steals. Man he's a good rebounder. A lot of his defensive rebounds were him pulling them down one handed with two opponents swarming all over him and no other Kansas player anywhere to be found.

---------- Post added March-24th-2012 at 12:48 AM ----------

Phew.

I didn't want to say anything before, but now that the game is over, Kansas winning means I've got the entire elite eight intact in my bracket. If Kentucky, Kansas, Ohio State, and Florida all win, I'll have the final four too.

---------- Post added March-24th-2012 at 12:49 AM ----------

Withey's 10 block shots is a career high and is tied for second with Shawn Bradley and Cole Adrich in Tourney history. One shy of Shaq's tourney record.

I think Davis, MKG, Robinson, and Beal have separated themselves as the best prospects in the class, in that order. Following them is Sully IMO, and following them is probably Barnes, then Drummond.

I think Austin Rivers could climb though. He's got NBA ready ball handling and finishing skills plus a good mid range game.

I also think Terrence Jones and John Henson are quality lotto picks who will translate pretty well to the NBA.

The Zellers could both be taken in the lottery in this year's class. Cody might want to stay in school though, to increase his value.

I think Teague should stay in school too.

I think Quincy Miller could slip to the late lottery or late teens if he comes out. At that point, I think the kid is an absolute steal.

If for some reason James McAdoo declared, he could be one of the steals of the class too. To me, he's a solid top five pick in next year's class. He reminds me of Blake Griffin.

Thomas Robinson was Kansas tonight. Everything they did was impacted by the amount of attention he was receiving.

He won't command that kind of defensive attention in the NBA for a while.

Robinson and Withey should be able to push Zeller and Henson around on Sunday. But Kansas is going to need to get some kind of contribution from their back court to beat UNC. UNC is a much deeper team.

I wanna see what he does againest the Carolina bigs those guys will play defense. T-Rob already turns the ball over at a high rate for a frontcourt player see how he handles guys longer then him.

There are some red flags with T-Rob in my opinion that are being overlooked because of the athletism. The guy did'nt get hardly any burn up until he is a 21 year old junior and he turns the ball over at a high rate for a big. He averaged 7mpg his freshman year and only 14mpg his sophmore year and still almost turned it over 1.5 times per game in only 14 minutes.

I would'nt take him over Sully no way, no how. Give me the fundamental brute who sets monster screens, hits the jumper, posts up, boxes out and rebounds. Sully starts over either Morris twin as a true freshman last year without a doubt.

I like T-Rob as a prospect but no way I take him top 3. I'd take Davis, MKG, Sully without question before him.

The problem with MKG is he is a 3 and he is'nt the best shooter either. This team needs guys who can stroke it like Barnes thats why alot of people are high on him with Wall. But Barnes will never be a # 1 option.

[Dukes and Skins]

Hey Dukes I finally found your name on twitter and followed you. Mine was @RRose78

Sounds good my man I just followed back!

[StillUnknown]

Florida/Louisville about to start.

Another chance to see Bradley Beal in action.


And he starts the game with a deep 3
