    Seems like we need a thread for all things tourney-related. Michigan about to close out the "upset" over 6 seed CSU.

    Depends what you’re looking for. He’s not some polished offensive player.

    He’s also one of the youngest players in the draft.

    Keegan Murray playing now, down early against Richmond. Need them to win so we can have more evaluation opportunity.

    Iowa's not making it out of this weekend. Too frontcourt-dependent.

    No idea why they insist on getting him the ball outside the 3pt line. Had a slick back door pass though.

    Both teams in this Iowa-Richmond game under 35% at the half. Let's hope they can pick it up in the second.

    Should be a fun matchup, that's for sure. I just hope it's at a time when i can be in front of a TV and pay attention.

    On a related note, my kid (16) set up a pay-for-play bracket challenge as a fund-raiser for his school. So far his bracket is perfect, and he's got Richmond over Iowa as well. Freakin' kid...

    Looks like Mccaffrey and Perkins decided to show up for the second half, so they may be in better shape.
