    I'm trying to remember what exactly he did in one game as a Blazer....wasn't it something like handing the ball on 3 straight possessions to the other team for easy baskets?

    Several heartbreak games. Losses by one point. Leads until final seconds.

    18.9% shooting for St Peter's. This is awful.

    Creighton facing overall #1 seed South Carolina and probable player of the year is totally overmatched. They pulled off three upsets. Nothing to hang their heads over.

    Stanford up 9 with 14 seconds to go. Nail biter until final two minutes. Difference in the game free throw shooting.
    Cue Schonz. You've got to make your free throws

    Texas managed to control pace if game, forcing ridiculous number of turnovers and holding Stanford well below scoring average, but when Cardinal absolutely had to get a basket or a stop, they managed. So basically Texas did everything they wanted except win.

    UConn and NC State going to double OT after NC State hit a 3 with 0.3 seconds left.
    UConn missed 7 free throws ...

    Paige Bueckers certainly picked a good time to have her best game since returning from injury. Congrats to her and the rest of the Huskies. Hope they get Auriemma a 12th title.

    I have to root for Stanford.

    Bueckers had 4 points first half, 23 second half and OTs.
    Mysteriously, NC State didn't foul when UConn was up 2 with 20 seconds and Huskies got layup.
    14 consecutive Final Fours

    Louisville put a good effort but we're overmatched by South Carolina. Player of the year Aaliyah Boston had 23 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists. Not too shabby.

    This 4 final four is like a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, no weird shit in the stuffing or any green bean salad. Just all the favorites.

    he's 6'6 with a 6'10 wingspan, and has already worked with / has a connection with dame.

    knockdown shooter with an expanding offensive game, tough nosed defender.

    we should not make this more complicated than it needs to be.

    Everything with us is complicated right now. When we know for sure that Cronin is our decision maker going forward or who ever else that might be and then when we know where we are picking and how many times we are picking, then things don't need to be over complicated. If we got one of the top three picks and the big that is available at that pick was one that we like with our current personnel, I think that's who we would take there. I think if our Pelicans pick lands in Agbaji's range in this scenario he might be a better option at SF than trading that pick for Grant who in his first season with us would cost 15-16M more than Agbaji's. I don't think he'll jump up any higher than the Pelicans pick and we might even be able to trade back to get him, you know how these GMs love potential and he is already 22.

    Let's talk about it a lot between now and then but none of us should think we have any clue what the best thing for this team is until May 17th.
