If we count him, we also have to count our former point guard Rick Pitino. As of now, he's still in the tournament.

Tre led WV in minutes 30, and rebounds at 5.5. He is tied for second in ppg at 11.7. If he stayed at Texas he would've played in last year's tourney. And the COVID year although doubtful, we will never know. When I saw him at WV to start the year, I didn't even recognize him. He definitely worked on his body.

Season is over for Pitino. I read that this will likely be his last season at Iona.

It is unfortunate, but this is the way kids are today..Me Me me.. That is why the story of Kennesaw St was a nice one and it is too bad they blew that game. Their coach was in tears talking about he had a good group of guys who were willing to stick it out and build something. They won 1 game in the first year and now they made it to the dance. Kennesaw St has an enrollment of like 4-5k so this would be like Framingham St moving to D1 and making the tourney 5 years later. If Mitchell, DeGray, East, etc.. stayed and built something i think this year we could of had a big year.

It looks like John Buggs III has landed with North Texas per Verbal Commits. Best of luck to him.

I thought he committed to Drake? Did I miss something?

Anyway I'm sure if I turned Sage notifications on, I'd know when Buggs was taking a shit.
