Solid player and dominated last night.

Wife and I follow St Mary’s a little bit as it is our home town team. Gaels v Zags have been exciting games all year. Now that the Gaels are knocked out I have no problem being a fan of the Zags and yes, Timme is a beast.

I'll fight my urge to respond as I don't have the same privilege you have to say certain things out loud. I will say I don’t think it's either of the things you suspect. I think it's more people seeing a guy who is a great college player who's skills don't translate to him being a very good NBA player. I'm not saying it's right, either. He should be appreciated for what he is, not what he isn't. His footwork and balance are insane.

Won’t make this a race thread,just the majority of detractors on Twitter are black people. Just stating facts.They bury him and say the only reason he gets hype is because he is white and that he is 30 years old.Has a Kendrick Perkins smell to it.

For the record my two favorite players all-time are Bird and Olajuwon.

Don't assume. Twitter is not an accurate sample size of any group other than outspoken trolls. I know what you are referencing with Perkins and he was dead wrong about that and couldn't talk his way out of it. I've also seen Reddick talk himself into the hole as well.

If that Zags wanna finally win a chip, they need to play Smith more. That kid was a monster in the second half. He is super decisive.

Johnson is from my city. He went to Norview High at the same time my youngest son was at Maury ( Joe Smith, Kam Chancellor). He died on the court and was resuscitated. Florida's doctors wouldn't clear him even after the Mayo Clinic did, so he transferred.

Aztec's giving Bama everything they can take and SDSU played most of the 1st half without their best player due to down trouble....

Go Aztecs!

Makes no fucking sense to me that when we get to this point in the tourney, games have to be played at roughly the same time.

All about the coin I know.

Doing a disservice to the fans who want to watch all the games.

Especially as great as this tourney has been....

5's giving the remaining 1's all they can eat.

Go Miami

For the first time, no #1 makes it to Elite 8.

That’s a good point,but teams like Arkansas and Bama have crazy recruits and still lost. Basketball is a sport where unlike football, if ya have a stud or two you can hang with anyone and especially if ya have a well coached fundamental team.

I hate the one and done guys of today,but I think it lends to teams being upset because they don’t stay and develop powerhouse teams anymore.

My pick for #1 is starting to look really good. 11th place currently, #1 in potential points. I am the only one who has a dog in the hunt to win it all
