(Leading the Mighty Norse by 3 at half.)

george mason' run to final four=350% increase in enrollment including 40% increase in out of state apps

I heard the George Mason figures in an informal discussion with a member of the BOT a couple weeks ago, I had brought up how the team winning the BE would help the school. He said there are studies  showing how much $$ each ESPN mention brings  as well, I just don't remember the figure he threw out.

Do we want USC or Mich St?

I think one of the 3 seeds are going down today.  I picked USCB on a gut call. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Just because MUBB is set with what they have, which is great, doesn't mean he can't play at this level, which was the point.

His rough comp is Prosper, being a versatile player that does a little bit of everything at both ends. In Prosper's first year in the system he was a 20 minute 7 & 3 player. Now he's 12 & 5, 29 minutes, 33% from 3.

Carter has been a 10 & 4, 32% from 3, 21 minute player in his first year in their system.

Things worked out at both places.

Hate to be the guy to ruin the unknown for you

But there is a hell of a lot more to a basketball player than pts/rebounds and 3 pt %.

Hell Stevie Mitchell would be lucky to play at wofford if thats all that mattered.

USC of course. Izzo has been to 25 tourneys. They may have had an off year but I think are more dangerous.

As someone who is hoping to get tickets for Sunday, I want USC.  Then the MSU fans will sell their tickets and I can grab them cheaply.

I hate to point out reading comprehension, but point to where in my posts that I said that's all there is to basketball.

Do you have anything more specific to add to this particular discussion regarding a much different role and position than Stevie Mitchell's 3%?

Carter's build is closer to Justin Lewis than Prosper. Carter defends the 4 and 5, forces turnovers on ball screens, scores at the rim. runners, floaters, hooks, etc...his usage rate isn't as high as it was, as he is on a deeper, better team. He was good enough for Marquette, Arkansas, etc to recruit and target.

That's fair.  But they have not impressed me Scoop Snoop.

it doesn't f*cking matter!

Okay. 

[StillAWarrior]

I know this is old and I'm probably the only person who didn't see it at the time, but this NCAA post-game interview is fantastic.


"So they got more of those than we did."

Again,

if you knew basketball or really just watched Carter and Prosper play. Youd see they are two entirely different players. Is Carter the guy Mizzou uses to lockdown players like Jordan Hawkins??

Also ironic you said "I hate to point out reading comprehension" when I literally read(and quoted your post) where the only comps you made were pts/rebounds and 3pt%

You only just now tossed in the incoherent nonsense "Carter's build is closer to Justin Lewis than Prosper. Carter defends the 4 and 5, forces turnovers on ball screens, scores at the rim. runners, floaters, hooks, etc...his usage rate isn't as high as it was, as he is on a deeper, better team.

I cant read and comprehend what you dont write. Which btw is still a bad comp. Omax doesnt just guard 4s and 5s. Again, see Hawkins, Jordan.

[CountryRoads]

USC doesn't seem interested in guarding. They only play one on one ball on offense. Pretty garbage team.

[Fred Garvin]

Agreed!!

[Norm]

Spartan fans sound pretty loud thus far. If they win today there will be even more of them on Sunday.

[MUfan12]

Gonna be a road game Sunday. Gotta love it.

[MuggsyB]

USC has some serious length and athletes. 

[Uncle Rico]

Gonna be a road game Sunday. Gotta love it.

It'll make the victory that much sweeter.  Izzo pressers after losing are great theater.  Will he blame cell phones?  Social media?  Who knows!

[The Sultan]

Good sign that the floor is Marquette's colors.

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

USC just refusing to play defense

[MUfan12]

USC has some serious length and athletes.

Not many basketball players from what I can tell.

Not a good 4 min stretch there.

Lol. That's a lot of word salad to say Prosper guarded a player for UConn in part of a game. No one said O Max just defends 4's and 5's. No one said Carter and Prosper are the same player.

Why so angry? You've made 2 trolling posts now without much substance to them.

I'm not angry? Or trolling?

I am quoting what you say word for word. This isnt a my opinion vs yours situation.

You are flat out wrong.
