Trae Young (Atlanta Hawks) is donating $1M and will be the Assistant GM for the Oklahoma basketball program.

Interesting to have a current NBA player involved. Seems like just a publicity/status move but can’t hurt.

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 up very little resistance defensively vs Duke and offensively they were stymied by Duke pushing them off the 3-point line. Houston has grown men who have strength and toughness, they won't let Duke just get whatever they want offensively. Duke might just be versatile enough offensively to be able to just go bombs away from 3 and win anyway, but I have a hunch the game will be a very good one and Houston may well win it.

I hate bama so not disappointed and also not surprised.

They have some ability to score but play no defense, sears is overrated and thinks too highly of his ability, and the team overall is very soft.

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.

Would be nice if we could get a former player, or maybe, oh I don't know, a huge tOSU fan like LeBron to do something similar; but I don't think our AD cares enough about basketball to do something like that.
