Cunningham seems to me to be close to a lock to be a good player in the NBA. I'm not sure he strikes me as an overwhelming talent, but to be fair Kevin Durants don't grow on trees.

Interested to see the Mobley kid from USC. I absolutely have never seen him play. In fact I looked at a recent top five mock draft and the only two guys I'd seen were Cunningham and Jalen Suggs.

It's not working for me. And other games (like OK State-WVU) are.

He's very, very good. So smooth and athletic for a huge guy.

Ok, thanks, I thought it might just be me. It's working now, but for a bit it was just a necktie and crowd noise fading in and out... Weird.

Ole Miss might be a dangerous 12 for some unsuspecting 5 seed.

I don’t really know why Javian Davis couldn’t be a decent player at some point in his career. Assuming there’s a decent work ethic there.

I say that right as he travels.

If they make it, most still have them on the outside.

I'd like to see them get in.

We could lose because anything can happen, but there is no reason to think either of these teams is anything different than what their regular season said they are.

Agreed. The only thing to keep an eye on is Clarke for Kentucky. They basically have him running point right now.

But they’re still playing two relatively traditional big guys which just clogs everything up. You just have to try to limit the offensive boards damage.

State has given us two close hard fought games. If we aren’t shooting well, it’s possible they could beat us.

Agreed - neither of these teams would beat us in a five game series, but anything can happen in a one game sample size. Especially if we shoot below our averages and the other guys shoot above theirs.

The most exciting thing is that we hustle our asses off and play elite defense - and defense always travels.

We had our worst shooting game of the season in Starkville and were up 10 with 75 seconds left.

Again, we could lose, but neither of these teams are any better than their seed indicates. Kentucky specifically.

They are super long defensively with Clarke playing this role. I don’t know if he knows what he’s doing though.

And they’re sort of getting picked apart a bit at the moment.

State is looking gritty as hell.

Absolutely owning the boards right now 21-9.

Only forced one turnover so far though and have committed seven.

Calipari might implode before this is over and I'll love every minute of it.

State's gonna do what they do. If you aren't mentally prepared to play physical and keep them out of the lane they're gonna fvck you up.
