UT ST another #1 knocked out
Someone has a job on their hands with him. Tremendous skill, but does he have the work ethic?Boy do I love a fun, athletic fat guy.

I just enjoy non-conventional athletes. Between Tominaga and Burns tonight, I'm a happy camper.Boy do I love a fun, athletic fat guy.
For at least one night, that kid is a legit American folk hero.DJ Burns is a blast to watch. It's pre-Fletch Dain.
NC State looks like they will pull it off.
It’s a preview of what the NCAA tournament will look like, particularly if Purdue, Houston, or UConn lose early.Chaos in SEC - semi-finals tomorrow
#8 vs #4
#7 vs #6
Burns has become one of my favorite non Illini players this season. He's so huge yet plays with so much finesse.DJ Burns is a blast to watch. It's pre-Fletch Dain.

Think your seeing a big difference this year in the consistency between the top 3-4 teams and the rest of the top 15.Could the stars have aligned any better for Illinois regarding needed teams losing this week? It’s uncanny. Nearly EVERY team in the race for a 3 has already lost.
Illinois controls its destiny.l
I would love to see DD and Fletch reach out to that kid and show him the way. It is the caring thing to do
Thanks for the knowledge. Apparently Edey can’t use that in NBA.Ant Wright has addressed it a few times on Twitter. Here is a post with a graphic about the different rules nfhs/ncaa/nba
And here is a ref who posted about it

I previously mentioned Houston being VERY scary. I think they would top UCONN and anyone else enroute to the title. They'd have to have a really bad off night for anyone to have a chance. If we end up facing a #1 seed, our only hope would be UNC out West. Unfortunately...I feel that they're the only #1 we have a good shot againstDon’t want to see UConn until final game. They have size (at all positions including the 5), shooting, bench and an unselfish chemistry. Will be amazed if they aren’t in final.
My son explained all of this to me when I grumped about 3 seconds. I don't know when they changed it, maybe just for EdeyThanks for the knowledge. Apparently Edey can’t use that in NBA.
