    Umm, Alex Len is almost 24. Did BYU make the Sweet 16 this year?

    Thanks, interesting data.

    With so many of the "best" college players going one and done, I'm surprised the best teams aren't younger. Is this a one time anomaly? I wonder how the average age of this year's Sweet 16 teams compares to the Sweet 16 teams from the recent past.

    Also... Bookers' game.. They were down 22-3 at one point:

    With 4:45 seconds left in the 1st quarter.

    THREE points for the team to start the first 7 minutes and change.

    Looking at box score. How did he get 26 shots at the free throw line?! 24 of his 70 came from the line. Crazy. Put up 40 shots in total.

    He did it all... even posted someone up.

    He'll be good in a couple years - hopefully he doesn't have the MCW downfall when he got his double nickel in Milwaukee .

    You're thinking of Brandon Jennings.

    70 is amazing considering he was only 4/11 from 3. But as Strenuus said, I can't believe they lost!

    One is from Syracuse, and one is Devin Booker. He will be fine

    He just dropped 70 and he'll be good in a couple of years? You don't drop 70 unless you are a stud.

    I am. Good call. I was thinking of MCW's Triple Double against the heat in the opener - my bad.

    Out of context - that sounds really bad.
