Crazy how Ayo has gone from a borderline lottery pick his freshman year to now contending for player of the year and also being a fringe 1st rounder in mock drafts.
I think Ayo will benefit from a deep tourney run and "normal" NBA combine where his length and ability to finish in contact can showcase.

Illinois #3 in AP Poll. Michigan #4, Iowa #5, OSU #8.
I really do think tOSU is a good team, but how many in a row must one lose to drop?
They finished behind Purdue, lost twice to Purdue, had a worse record against Quad 1 and 2 in total. Purdue has won 5 straight and tOSU has lost 4 straight. Yet they are #8 and Purdue is #20. :oops:

OSUappears to be the "it" girl in both football and basketball this year. The Buckeyes got their asses kicked in the football playoffs (Indiana got hosed). I think the basketball team is completely overrated. The only reason they won in Champaign is because Liddell went off and another player who hadn't hit a 3 all year hit several of them.

Which lower seeded second round (third round) teams will be a problem for Illinois? Basically any 8 or 9 seed

OSU is still #9 in NET, which is the most important system this year iirc.

Leonard was always a dipshit
I'm sure this will sit real well with the large Jewish community in Miami

Bogus flagrant foul call.
I'm pretty sure dude didn't mean to grab Curbelo's balls.

Don't tell me that you wouldn't want to so do that
