George has definitely cost himself some money this tourney. 

Not really. Talents supercedes things like this.  And he's loaded with talent.

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1084]

Get a foul called you when someone steps on your damn head??

[Underdog 28437]

Quick start for the Canes.

Yes really. Stuff like this absolutely affects NBA evals. 

I mean, it might be something like being the 10th pick instead of the 8th, but it could matter. 

[ClubWhatever 12085]

No Baylor player has ever committed a foul.  Hacked on the arm is the offensive players fault. 

[Francisco 2.0 32290]

Obligatory fuck Scott Drew post.  You get gifted a 4th foul because the Creighton kid's face was in the way, and then you bitch over a foul on a trap.

The yellows are infinitely better than these prison unis.

What’s important is that they are flashy. Like the lord Jesus likes.

Get you some, bluejays!

Two spots because he and his team had an off night, at altitude?

Guessing you're not looking to be an NBA GM any time soon.

Obviously not a popular opinion around these parts but I’m rooting for Marquette.

Just here to say fuck Baylor.

[Underdog 28437]

IU body language exhibiting a bit of disinterest early in this game. 

[The Ace of Aces 5106]

Creighton is gagging down the stretch. They’ll hang on but horrible shot selection.  

[Mo Horn 8795]

Cmon Creighton, don't blow this

Dude he's been shitty since he got hurt in the Texas game and his team is better when he doesn't play. NBA GMs might chalk it up to playing through an injury - they might not. 

You really think these guys aren't examining every data point when they have a lottery pick? 

That said - NBA GMs make terrible decisions all the time. Wouldn't be surprised if someone wastes the 6th or 7th pick on him.

to be fair, there's probably only a couple of hundred of us posting here that are qualified for such a position

[lemonandaturd 4285]

Drew, take your ass whipping and just remember you still have to live in Waco.  

[Guest]

Pretty sure #11 for Creighton has fouled out like 3 times in this game...but no call.

Good.

 

Fuck Baylor.

[elfenix 34168]

bored creighton fan can arch her back a little more

[ClubWhatever 12085]

Baylor doesn’t seem to get that they aren’t going to win shooting twos.

Does he?

That Creighton dude looks like Terry from Reno 911.

 

[Surly Bevo 24692]

[Deej 76511]

Fuck Baylor...

[ClubWhatever 12085]

The shiny dome with scruffy beard look is very Baylor. 

[WBT 20397]

Two minutes into the 2nd half and FDU has taken the lead

[Welshy 907]

Something, something, WBT beat me to it.

FDU up by 2.  Let’s go Cinderella!  Crowd is going crazy for them.

[Welshy 907]

FDU came out of the locker room with some energy.

[Underdog 28437]

IU has awakened. 

[ztejas 43244]

This F me and you game is fuckin lit.

[The Ace of Aces 5106]

FDU plays exactly like we did in HS. They might be a tad better. 

[Deej 76511]

FAU may want to check their pee charts.

[Gucci_Suit 2610]

Baylor. Now go home and get your fucking shine box.

[HtownHorn 14446]

FDU and FAU playing at a high level right now.

[Underdog 28437]

Miami's good.

You have some ifs and let's put them aside, especially the one about Baylor being better when George doesn't play.

Your original post said that George might lose two spots in the draft due to the tourney. That's where you should take a step back and re-assess. Scouts are examining every data point In making a lottery pick, including tournament play but that's a very small piece of it. So, so much more goes into it.  The idea that George may drop two spots in the draft, a huge drop, because of 4 hours this weekend is worthy of a good night's sleep and re-thinking that assertion. 

I'm not a fan of Baylor. More so, just a fan of objectivity.

 

[Underdog 28437]

Good closeout to the half for IU, down 40-35. 

[Valmy77 13092]

Baylor...

 

[Liquor and Poker 3659]

I still laugh at the announcers suddenly saying “best coke ever!” But I grew up in the 1980s. 

[The Ace of Aces 5106]

FDU might be done here. Their sieve of a defense is showing

Thanks for the memories FDU.

[Pancho 44358]

 I think FAU can beat Tennessee. Their coach is really good. I wanted him on the short list for this job, but Texas.

I'm not sure I've ever seen you post anything about the NBA, NBA draft or basketball recruiting. I don't need a lecture on how the NBA draft works. Thanks for the riveting argument about how Keyonte George can play as asstastic as he wants without altering his draft stock in the slightest. 

I'm curious as to how thin you think the margin is between the 9th and 11th pick in a typical NBA draft. Fucking Luka Doncic went 3rd a few years back. It doesn't take a lot.
