    Yeah. Chet only should’ve had 2 fouls. But the refs have been awful in all tournament games I’ve watched this year

    He's doing a great job down there. Houston is a tough team, should be interesting tonight!

    They should do some regular season tanking to get a worse seed. They don't seem to do well when they're favored.

    I'm having a hard time seeing how Chet is a better prospect than Timme ... and one could go #1 while the other could go undrafted.

    Prospective NBA players it’s all about what you can hypothetically do. The post moves that Timme gets away with in college won’t fly in the NBA against longer players. You can’t teach length.

    And they are the tallest team in the tourney.
    They are getting out scored in the paint too.

    Gonzaga had ONE five-star recruit before last year. This year they had the #1 player in his high school class. Nobody from Gonzaga even compares to Chet. Stop looking so hard at school affiliation.

    They've made 7 straight sweet 16s and made 2 out of the last 5 championship games. They've lived up to their seeding as much as anyone the last 7 years.

    Not making the Final Four as a 1 seed isn't "underperforming" though. It's hard as fuck to make the Final Four regardless of where you're seeded.

    I'm trying to imagine him guarding Banchero.

    IF he gets stronger. His frame is concerning. Not easy to presume he'll gain the sufficient strength. That's the big problem. He could make your draft or break your heart.

    Your response is dizzying.

    You throw out someone else's opinion to counter someone else's opinion ... which is a habit of yours ... but then I guess you are trying to say now it's not your opinion. So why share it?

    If you think something, say it. For gosh sake, put yourself out there, not any of this weak sauce stuff "I posted it but I might or might not believe it." Yeesh. Weird.

    Wow. That must have stuck in your craw that here your are nearly a week later still harping on it.

    Tell us what YOU believe. Put YOURSELF out there. Stop doing this passive junk where you don't have an opinion. You're even misrepresenting the stuff you put out there.

    And yeah, it's a weird flex to act like you're disputing something and then you give this vanilla yogurt stance that you're just saying stuff for other people but you won't say whether you stand on that.

    I gave my opinion where I thought Sochan would go. I've also seen mocks having him go there. You aren't the voice of THE scouts. There are a lot of scouts and I don't think they are a uniform block that all have an opinion that (checks notes) you won't say whether or not you agree with.

    Just stating reality is a little bit different.

    He’d probably foul out for putting his arms in the air.

    Is Chet short for something like Chetford Jones?

    Or is it a nickname?
