Has the final four ever been all 1 seeds?

 

Only the second time ever

 

Wonder how much is just a fluke and how much is the transfer portal depriving midmajora of top level players. Like Steph Curry in this era would've transferred out of Davidson well before their tourney run

 

Happy for my Tigers. Hope Johni is fully ready to go by Saturday. We could use the rest. I hope we get revenge on the Gators, and hope Houston pulls off the upset, though I won’t be made if we get to avenge our loss in Cameron.

 

Yeah for sure. I don’t know about the other schools but Chinyelu and Richard are the only new starters for Florida and I think they’re both grad transfers. But definitely interesting to see how the NIL market changes things.

Alijiah Richard is the only player to make the final four with two different teams after this weekend.

 

Yeah, Auburn has a lot of transfers, but Kelly from Georgia Tech is the only new starter, and the only other big contributor who is new is Pettiford who is a freshman. Everyone else was on our team last year.

 

Boring

 

I’m really proud of this group of Vols. Kinda has flown under the radar we’ve been down two scholarship players almost the entire season because of how well they’ve performed. Ran into a team today we couldn’t quite get going against and still can’t get over that Elite Eight to Final Four hump, but Zakai and Jahmai were really special guys and extremely fun to cheer on for the last four years.

 

explain

 

Lmao

 

Good lord UConn is beating the pants off of UCLA

 

Auburn is getting away with a lot right now

But still a close game. Florida needs to take better care of the ball.

 

I feel like Bruce Pearl has almost always been sketchy, at least back to his UW-Milwaukee days, or at least looked that way and this season / with the beard he definitely looks like a sleazy Florida car sales / wanna be mafia looking guy

 

Lmao they just called Florida for a foul and then showed a replay where Clayton cleared for fouled on made shot but they didn’t call it.

 

The real tourney - the college basketball crown, which is absolutely knew was a thing before this week, has gone great for me. GBR. Go Knights.

 

Oh my god that was not a double dribble lol

 

Go Gators!

 

These refs are fucking awful

 

clayton lol

 

Dude should absolutely be a first rounder after this tournament

 

Gatorsssss!

 

Gators headed to the "Chomp"ionship was clever.

Let's go DUKE.

 

Clayton is so good. Automatic shooter and can finish tough shots at the rim.

 

so whats the knock? just undersized?

 

I guess so? But it’s not like he’s that small for a point guard though. He’s technically bigger than players like Steph and Brunson, not saying he’d be playing at their caliber at the next level but I feel like playstyles are comparable.

His overall stats have been pretty consistent the last 3 years so it’s not like this is a random breakout. Maybe it’s just because he hasn’t been able to standout nationally until this season.
