     Ducks a bit out of control early. UNC handling the paint. Oregon may need another 10 blocks from Bell in this one.

     Payton Pritchard sighting. 

    Oregon vs Gonzaga would be insane.

     Such a contrast between these two teams and Gonzaga. Oregon especially seems so frantic and rushed. UNC not taking advantage. Bell has looked nice from what I’ve seen in the tourney though.

    Justin Jackson looks great so far. Showing great 3pt shooting, mid-range game and defense. Meeks looking impressive too with six offense rebounds (10 total). Kinda disappointed with Brooks though. He’s taking all sorts of off-balance shots. Bell’s been quiet, too.

    Pritchard is horrible. Such loose handles for a guard. Everytime he puts the ball on the floor he either picks up his dribble and makes the offense go stagnant or the ball gets poked loose from him

    Dylan Ennis though. Playing like Oklahoma Buddy Hield there.

    Unreal.

    Oregon with multiple chances to get a rebound after missed free throws to get a chance at a game winner, and they can’t even box out. This team simply could not handle Meeks and Pinson. Gotta wonder how different this game would’ve been if Oregon had Boucher.

    This game just emphasized how important wingspan is for wing players. Pinson is 6’6 with a 6’11 wingspan. Length matters a lot for rebounding and hustle plays.

    Ironic that the guy that the tournament rebound demon in Bell failed to box out in the final 2 possessions.

     I think its important to point out what an absolutely spectacular job the officials did in this game. The refs called it well and it came down to the wire. They dont get enough credit when they do well. 

    Man I feel bad for Bell. For all those saying the loss is on him your nuts. Oregon wouldnt even be anywhere near the final four without Bell. He has singlehandedly won them countless games this year. Without Boucher they just couldnt handle UNC in the paint for 40 minutes. Bell was worn out and could you blame him theres no support in there with him. The kid really took this hard and Im just hoping this one moment doesnt scar him and ruin an amazing amateur career. 

    Great effort by Oregon and a great game. Defenitely one of my favourite tournaments I can remember.

      Yea I feel bad for him too. It may be possible that he’d be somewhat remembered as years pass in that college campus as the guy who didn’t box out. The guy desereves all the credit though. He channeled his inner Ben Wallace in the tournament. You can tell that guards were seriously scared of attacking the rim with him there.

     Meeks is a poor man Kanter with all those offensive boards… Dorsey has announced he’s planning to declear for draft, smooth scorer with a wet jumper, i have him in the first round, could be player in the mold of CJ Mccollum/Devin Booker…
