Billy B Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 So far both Lopez brothers have said they will enter the draft and Stephen Curry said that he will be returning to Davidson next year.I think that is the best move for Curry. It is probably the right move for Brooke to enter the draft, but I think that Robin should have stayed for sure. If they both wanted to do the same thing they should have stayed in school IMO.

Billy B Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 This may be the first year since 1980 that both teams from the national championship didn't make the NCAA Tournament, but they still made the NIT. Now Ohio State will be playing Florida for the NIT Championship. Ohio State can finally avenge their losses to Florida (if anyone holds the NIT title higher than the BCS and NCAA Tournament title).

In retrospect, there was Calbert Chaney, the UNC players who stayed for four years, along with some other ACC stars like Travis Best, but were they the five best collegiate players?

If you're trying to compare the collegiate players of today with the guys who played 10 to 20 years ago, you can't. If you're asking if Beasley, Hansbrough, Love, Douglas-Roberts, and Augustin are the five best players in the country, arguably they are.

rams80 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 It's probably "I said, they said," but CBI organizers say they had trouble getting teams thanks to a cease and desist letter from the NCAA NIT the day before Selection Sunday.To quote...teams were being told not to participate. That might explain Cincinnati's presence in the tournament.Oh...and congrats to Tulsa on the title. Hopefully Bradley can build on this as well.
