Dailyn Swain to Texas...

I don't know what he was getting, but I would hope that was not the case. Maybe they were overpaying for him because there were limited options last year. I don't know, but his performance just for this past season did not merit more than $1M in NIL for sure, and if they were giving him that...

Let's be real, not every starter from the portal is great. Elliot Cadeau is not a great player. He is a good player, I'm not saying he's awful, but he's not someone who really moves the meter. We need a big-time post player, and if Bruce leaves, a big-time guard - but we'll have to wait and see...

Steph Curry does the same thing for Davidson. I would agree, I doubt these guys are doing much other than donating money, and talking to the players and coaches.

Alabama just snagged the top center in the portal (as of right now), and they played just two days ago. We had damn well better get a center out of the portal, otherwise shunning the postseason for the portal was a pointless strategy. I realize we're not going to get every top player, but we...

Duke-Houston is clearly the most intriguing matchup in the Final Four. Houston is no pushover, Duke will not have an easy victory. Houston has been a favorite in almost all of their games this season, and now they're the underdog. I was really disappointed in Alabama last weekend - they put...

Yeah, the B1G just hasn't really had that "destination school" for top CBB talent. Beilein was probably the closest the B1G has had to an ace talent evaluator, and he never quite got to the level of Wright or Hurley.

Kansas-Davidson (Steph Curry) Elite 8 matchup was great that year.

There's been a little bit of bad luck and a little bit of bad timing, but mostly the truth is other programs like Duke, Kansas, UNC and Kentucky have been getting the top players every year. You've got to be a really great judge of talent like Jay Wright or Dan Hurley be a national player at...

From an OSU standpoint, it's notable that the Buckeyes, in spite of the struggles, did manage to beat 3 teams that made the Sweet 16 this year (Maryland, Purdue & Kentucky), so while we know they aren't where we want them to be, they were able to see some success against quality competition. I...

Tom Izzo about to be 10-1 vs the SEC in the NCAA tournament.

Well, he did come back into the game. Kind of a big deal.

UM had more starters that began at Texas Tech than the Red Raiders did themselves.

Tennessee started the game 0-14 from 3. They actually managed to make 1 before halftime, but still aren't going to crack 20 points before the break.

Houston is destroying Tennessee. I like Felix Okpara as a player, but he's not strong enough for a game like this. He's showing today why you need to be at least 240# to play the post in college basketball if you're goung to compete for national titles. Houston is able to just push him around...

Creighton commit

I will say I kind of liked the nickname they had for their starters this season, the Crab Five.

IU officially has no returning players. Their roster is either in the portal or out of college basketball.

Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't feel like much of an NCAA tournament with all the top teams winning all the time. I'm going to say Houston and Auburn will win tomorrow and complete an all #1 seed Final Four.

Congrats on the chalk.
