    Oh, I don't know. Jim Boylen got attention from Arizona whilst at Utah before the bottom fell out. It only takes one! I actually thought he might get a look from Wisconsin last year.

    I wish Arizona would've taken Boylen. He might've set their program back 5 years or so.

    The more I look at this, the more I wonder how the league gets more than four teams in the dance, barring someone coming out of nowhere to win the conference tourney (come on Larry, I know you can do it!).

    Arizona, Oregon, UCLA are all locks and likely to be in the top 16 seeds.

    USC has a pretty shaky resume at this point, but should go 3-1 down the stretch, though none of those wins will help them (unless they somehow beat Arizona).

    Cal's resume is not great, and with a loss to fellow bubble team Seaton Hall, I think the Bears are gonna have to win out, which means road wins in SLC and Boulder, or do some serious damage in the Pac 12 Tourney.

    Brooks has many elite skills. The Dillon Brooks elite skill power ranking:

    1. Flopping
    2. Preening
    3. Clutch jumpers
    4. Leadership
    5. Chest tattoo selection

    Wow...ASU came back to beat U$C. U$C was up 6 (82-76) with just 46 seconds left.

    That's a collapse we as Ute fans can really appreciate.

    Rumors are that Missouri will go after Cuonzo Martin as a head coach. I wouldn't mind seeing a good recruiter leave the Pac.

    In "water is wet" news, Fulks has declared for the NBA draft.

    I wonder if Fulks pulled a "McCaffrey" & stopped playing when he knew his team sucked & he would be 1st or 2nd pick in the draft.?

    When he was "injured" during the last several weeks of the season, it was widely reported that he probably would not play again, to make sure he did not get injured before the draft. Romar even admitted as much.

    You mean Markelle Fultz. You made me panic for a second.

    I thought you meant Kyle Fulks. I still hope he will have a breakout season as a SR next year. He had the wheels to be a good WR.

    In connection to my post in the Spring Football thread, Tom Hackett takes a couple of shots at Kyle AND his dad in the recent 4th and Long podcast.

    You got there eventually.

    Well that was a bad gambling beat. Oregon -8.5 winning by 7 2.5 seconds left. Dillon Brookings fouled. Makes the first and the whole stadium erupted. Then he misses the second to a collective groan

    The first comment is, "Apparently his dad didn't say enough about him going into last season, so he's only on the two deep." And then making fun of Keith for saying that Kyle would be the greatest thing to ever come out of Utah. Tom even repeats your "bricks for hands" diagnosis.

    Dillon Brooks came close to being tossed from the championship game. I like the guy's talent and fire but he acted like a punk on that play.

    Agreed.

    FWIW...sure is nice to play with so much talent, Arizona.

    Hard to know for whom to cheer here. I don't like either Arizona or Oregon. The edge goes to Oregon because I like their coach, despite Brooks' punkishness.

    I want to know whey Oregon's #3 (Pritchard?) does not get called for carry when he dribbles. The way he turns hand/wrist is way too exaggerated.

    I was back looking for another post, and saw this one. It reminded me of Sean's pettiness calling the time out with 1 second left. It seemed out of character for him, and my respect for him took a hit. What a childish way to react to a perceived slight. Be the bigger man, Sean.

    I've spoken to his dad a few times. He's just a dad who cares, that's all. IF Fulks could ever learn to catch the ball, he'd be special. IF...

    Anyways, in the first spring ball, we ran a ton of fly sweeps, so maybe that's how we take advantage of Fulks.

    Lol. That's probably true. Having gone to dinner with some parents and their 20yo son who said he was thinking he might want to play tennis professionally (despite not even making his high school team) and his parents saying, "I really think you can do it!" What Fulks dad said doesn't even register on the scale of parental denial.

    There is a rumor about Indiana offering $31 million, 7-year contract to Alford. Though, the rumor has already been refuted.
