Kalkbrenner against San Diego State's big guys down low will be fun to watch.
I'll take KSU, UCONN, SDSU, Miami.
Pretty sure I was 1/4 yesterday, so I suggest you bet the opposite.
Never being a fan of the elitism of the long-standing legacy Blue Blood programs... this Season is a most refreshing change and breath-of-fresh-air to the Finalists in the this year’s Dance.
No Number One seeds. Yes!
Only one Number Two seed: Yes!
Even a Number Nine still standing.
Teams with gaudy records and big resumes being sent home after their initial interview (and no job waiting for them). Other guys coming in off the street and impressing the hell out of the search committee and getting positions. And maybe even a corner office.
This is the beautiful chaotic present and future of College Ball. Everybody gets a chance now. Not the just embedded name-plate programs that fans could recite every year in their sleep with unconscious boredom.
In this case, Chaos is good. More teams at a high level. More fans bases getting excited about their programs. Football schools becoming basketball schools. Even basketball schools becoming football schools (does that strike a bell with anybody?).
Every year now is a roll-out of a new lineup and a new roll of the roundball destiny dice.
With all the changes in College Ball in recent years... it’s still young men (and women) chasing their dreams to play a game they love in front of people who care about them and the ones that can throw a ball through a hoop most often still wins.
No matter what else they change about this game... it will always come down to that.
The unforgiving and glorious meritocracy of a basketball floor. The chaos that delights.

Tonight, KSU and FAU will be entertaining as its great guard play against great guard play. The nightcap will need the Zags to have more than Timme to beat a very complete UConn Team. All 4 games will be entertaining as anyone can win this.
Nowell is so good at foul baiting
FAU winning it all would pave the way for 4 guard lineups in college basketball

They keep finding opponents who aren’t really set up to punish them for it
I love Nowell, maybe shouldn't admit this but other than Caitlin Clark my favorite player to watch this year, but he's been a little too careless with the ball tonight.
And as I type that, he drains a ridiculous 3. KSU games have been so fun to watch this tournament.

Nowell has the keys to the bank, another great game

complementary talents. NO ONE in either league can drain threes like Clark
K-State making too many mistakes. Beating themselves. They were in position to make the final four a few years ago and lost to Loyola, right?
FAU may pull this off.
You are correct

K-State stagnating, playing iso-ball with Nowell. Such a fun team when they are playing as a team.

It’s getting dusty in here.
FAU showing why you need multiple guards moving the ball on offense not just one great one like K-State.
