That knucklehead play cost me from being eight for eight.

Kenpom need to add a stupidity stat? Or is that in factored into the luck stat?

I picked MN in a few brackets as an upset but I had Butler in the sweet 16 everywhere....now I'm concerned about that. MTSU looked damn good.

Me too. I figured everyone was picking minnesota to lose ao that they might just win. Darn it. Over thought that one.

I know these guys are young, but they need to be functioning at their highest during the season's most important event, which includes awareness. I don't know how much the coach can be blamed for the play, but hopefully this helps him better prepare his players in the future.

Daum still had 17 points. Not intentionally being a homer, but if a #1 seed basically gears their entire defense (including double teams) toward a guy, and he still gets 17, there isn't much hope for the Summit League. 2 first team WCC players guarded him all game. Karnowski is one of the best centers in the nation. I am not aware of a single player in the Summit with the physical abilities of Williams, much less Karnowski. Not just height, but length/size and how they use it.

Biggest difference was Daum's inability to get to the free throw line. Almost 30% of his points this year came from free throws. He wasn't aggressive about making a move to get momentum toward the basket, partly due to to Gonzaga's ability to keep poking the ball so he couldn't get a solid handle on his dribble.

Edit: I would actually be slightly surprised if Daum plays more than 1 more year of college ball.

To play in Europe?

You can't blame coach for that. He should not have to tell them they're winning. How many time outs left yes...winning, no.

Agree. Used the last one with over 7 min to play and then had that happen followed by a bad possession up 1 with less than 20 sec to play. Having one in your pocket there could have proved useful.

Or China!?
