Nebraska and Vandy are some old ass teams.

Yeah at the college level. When he’s not able to outmuscle everyone shyt will change.

He's built like his dad. I'm not worried about him getting outmuscled. He has enough to be crafty. Defensively, it is what it is with him. He'll have moments and he'll be better than Carlos, but below average at best.

Nebraska fans took this venue over like it's the Fiesta Bowl

Had Hoiberg never left Iowa State, he mighta made a Final by now. College is where he belongs

I 100% agree w/ @Whips-n-Chains about Keaton Wagler and teams figuring him out.

I know a lot of y'all feel that dudes should jump to the league because they are rated highly, but Wagler needs to keep his ass in school. The schools with deep pockets will be lining up.

I swear, it looks like he could be another lottery pick that severely disappoints like that player from the Badgers the Wizards drafted a couple yrs ago, Johnny Davis. Front offices gonna be like "What 2nd contract?"

Credit Nebraska fans, they loud af

Prediction: Gonzaga is gonna win the championship like 2 years after the coach retires

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Sean miller is a fraud tho I was told

Who said fraud?

 

[tremonthustler1]

That west region is weak

Gonzaga was a fraud ass 3 seed, Purdue probably should've been a 3 seen in that reason with another team as the 2. Meanwhile in the East, SJU, who won the Big East and Big East-T is a fukking 5 seed...

1. St. John's is getting punished for what happened last year (imagine if RJ Luis was still there. Still don't get why he threw his career away instead of just transferring)

2. The Big East wasn't good this year.

3. Like I've said before, the NCAA hates the Big East. If they could offer an ultimatum of "play football or disperse them to the A-10" they would. The Big East ruins most of their plans for what they really wanna do with big time college athletics.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Neb playing in Oklahoma City...this is a fukking home game for them...that crowd is insane

I don't ever remember hearing a tournament game sound this 1 sided, even when it's a 1 seed vs some random school

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Nebraska and Vandy are some old ass teams.

Def. Frager is a freshman for Neb...he's a dog...will def be a pain in the ass player in the B1G for the next 3 years

its good for college ball that the NBA doesn't like college coaches anymore.

He's gotten far less efficient ever since that MSU game. I don't blame him for jumping if he's indeed going to be a top 12 pick, but idk if I'd want my team drafting him. What's funny tho, is he'll still have a quiet ass 19/7/6 game tonight

yeah if you're not in the lottery going back you can make more

Those big pocketed schools will easily pay 4-5 mill/

Texas Tech got A LOT OF money

 

[SchoolboyC]

Do Vanderbilt & Nebraska have a rivalry I'm not aware of?

Yep. That oil money is no joke.
