Too bad it didn't go their way but two elite eights in a row is a pretty good season and I doubt anyone thought that would happen. It should help some in recruiting. If they are ever going to really compete they'll probably have to land a one and done or a player that will likely leave early.

yes and no. UNC gets one and done players every once in awhile. U dont need to be Duke or Kentucky to win. Build , Build and Build some more. If anything I learned from this UNC team is Upperclassmen are important and not depending on one and done players are important. Dont get me wrong getting one is not a bad thing. But to depend on them like Kentucky can fire back big time.

That's why I said a one and done or player that will leave early.

I believe Jackson will go pro with this horrible draft class. I would love for the Bulls to draft him. He would be the best point guard on the roster. Only 1 more year of the headache Rose. I don't know if Jackson will be a star but I think he would be a steal for the middle to late first round for any team looking for a point guard

He is entering the draft. I wouldnt mind Bulls taking him. Let him learn for 1 year and then let Rose go or trade him at the deadline. I hate to say this because Rose has been the best Bulls player the last month or 2 but I think Im getting sick of him.

Yogi is a better point than Jackson though

I rather take Jackson in the NBA. Stronger and his play is beter suited for the NBA.

Any chance Auguste gets drafted? Might be a decent bench player that can give you 10 minutes a game. Wouldn't be surprised if he racks up 4 fouls in that amount of time though

So was I supposed to be cheering for North Carolina because they are in the ACC? I never fully got into the conference connection (the whole SEC, SEC, SEC thing). I was happy that Villanova pulled it off.

Me too. Of course, as I said before, I was pulling for Syracuse, so happy to see a former BE team beat the team that knocked Cuse out. Plus all the hype was on UNC. When I have less of a rooting interest, I tend to favor the underdog.

Glad Villanova won, UNC was getting on my nerves
