Roman is all-in with college hoops. They know who’s watching.
Guys with blood flow issues who would rather take a pill than make the dietary changes necessary to help said blood flow issues?

Chet looks like his legs will snap in half if he lands wrong.

I hope Michigan plays Gonzaga this year and both teams are playing well. That might be a 1v4 match up in the tournament, but the individual player battles are incredibly interesting especially if Diabate is playing well vs Chet, Dickinson Timme is its own story, and Houston playing well could be a story in a game like that.

Gonzaga really has perfected the model of how to build a college basketball team in todays era. Such a great mix of elite recruits, multi year guys and transfers.

Watching this Arkansas team makes me wish Juwan would start recruiting the 6’4 to 6’6 combo guards that can shoot and play make. Our team now could use some of that. Combo guard might be the new wave in college basketball like Baylor last year.

Um has been missing this since Poole and maar, need to take more of those guys and less of combo fowards with bad shooting like Williams, Glenn and jace Howard.

How did UCLA match up on D? Centers on Timme and then one of their wings on Chet or vice versa?

Athletic has some anonymous quotes from coaches about officials. Which refs do college basketball coaches most, least like to see in a big game? ‘I love me some Teddy’ – The Athletic
Paywalled, but here’s my favorite about Ted Valentine: “In the old days, all of that TV Teddy stuff, but he’s matured. It only took him 30 years to mature, but he did. He’s a good official, once you get underneath all of that other crap.”

Haha I like the Boroski quotes:
“With Bo, I do get concerned because he’s made really bad calls, some really egregiously bad calls, and then his ego, it’s so completely out of control. There’s no emotional intelligence or situational awareness. He’s like a cyborg. Just brutal. I’ve gone back and done a double take, rewatched the tape two or three times and it’s confirmed what I thought happened in the moment. He’s brutal.’’
