Fuck OU losing. Damn.

Some pretty bad possessions by Young down the stretch. I haven't watched a lof of OU games but I feel like he's missing a bit too many of those pull up heaves from 35 feet to warrant how many he takes.

Recently for sure. His shot has regressed.

But I feel like he has no other option, they don't have an offence without him dominating the ball, so it's hard to judge till you see him in the NBA. I kinda liked his defence tonight, but his scoring the last couple of games or even in conference play compared to non conference play is disappointing to me. His passing and assist numbers hough kinda offset the decreased efficiency, but still... not as electric to watch as he was earlier in the season.
 
Oh no, Dick Vitale coupled with my headache is just cruel.

Nick Ward is out with ankle injury...a monster college player, going to be tough with Schilling as his replacement.

Mikal Bridges continues to disappoint me. He needs to become a much better rebounder and a better all-around scorer.
I really had him up there in my mock draft earlier in the season.

Miles Bridges, while he has his own flaws just projects as a player with a higher ceiling, unfortunately as I do like Mikal more for some reason.

Not that impressed with the Nova kid as a high end prospect. He belongs in the nba for sure but he seems to have role player written all over for him. Nice little prospect but nothing special. Slightly above average nba player would be my guess

Oklahoma defensive rebounding is the worst I have ever seen... they just give two possessions to teams every other trip.

Young's shot has regressed and he is lacking burst tonight.

I fear young might be fools gold. I thought prime Gilbert Arenas could be a comp, but that is if he continues to make big strides, not today. I don’t see curry at all as an apex.

I don't know about fool's gold, he is a damn good player, but he doesn't have the same touch and shot as Curry. Better passer though.
 
Hass from Purdue looks absolutely gigantic against MSU's Centers. They don't really have an answer for him down low.

Looks like this guy

On topic, I hate how Jaren Jackson is being officiated... he is getting called for BS fouls. He will not be foul prone in the NBA like he has been so far in College, just no way he gets called for that in the NBA.

I've been thinking the same thing, some of the calls he has called against him on defense are absolutely ridiculous. He still gets most of his fouls on the offensive side on screens but they still seem like ticky tack calls, that I don't think he'll see in the NBA.
 
Don't understand why MSU don't double Haas. I also think Jackson should cover him and bother him with his length.

I don't think Jackson is strong enough to handle Hass, and none of their other bigs are fast enough to hang on to Purdues shooters.

I don't think Haas is that strong. Schilling can hold his ground he is just not long enough to contest him. But Jaren would probably some how foul out if he was his main assignment.

Not JJJ's best game. I wish he jumped a bit higher on his contests, seems to get a lot of his blocks because of his length and great timing, but somewhat lacks high vertical when he contests... wonder how that would affect his rim protection against above the rim players in the NBA.

Miles Bridges is balling.

He's definitely not the best athlete in the draft but I think his leaping ability is just fine. That one play where he picked up his 3rd foul I just think he got caught off guard by the guy jumping so high.
