Some Love from ESPN

Postby dr. rick » Mon Mar 13, 2017 7:32 am

5 Players to watch:

Semi Ojeleye, SMU: The one-time Duke player waited nearly two years to make his debut in an SMU uniform, sitting out under NCAA transfer rules for one season and redshirting the next. Still, he wasn't considered much of a factor, a former three-star recruit. Instead, in three seasons, Motley has grown into an All-American candidate, a guy who personifies the where-did-they-come-from Bears.

Team that could ruin your bracket:

SMU. It's not out of the question to pick UNC Wilmington here, but the Mustangs have the double whammy of talent and hunger. SMU hasn't lost since Jan. 12 and finished the regular season ranked 12th, but because of the strength of the American Athletic Conference (or lack thereof), the Mustangs earn a 6-seed here. They are one of the best defensive teams in the country, pound the boards, yet can score as well. This is a very solid, sound team looking to prove itself. Watch out.

There was a long segment on ESPU with 4-5 broadcasters breaking down every match up. Those guys predicted us to go sweet16 and were surprised at our 6 seed.
