New WNBA mock draft from Eric ahead of Monday night when the selections are made

DePaul really hired a better coach than Kentucky and Louisville in this cycle. We have never been so back

Wrote about who I think is the best defensive player in this draft class: Illinois DT Johnny Newton sbnation.com/nfl/2024/4/12/…

Happy Bulls hit the over day to all who celebrate, don’t let anyone tell you we never believed in this objectively trash organization

My guess is Scott Drew takes the Kentucky job. If he doesn't, I wonder if that extends the runway enough for Billy. Bulls' season could be over Wednesday or Friday. Billy would have to work approximately 600% harder at UK, but the Bulls are so hopeless it *might* be worth it.

Donovan Clingan cannonballs, Cam Spencer punting basketballs, and Danny Hurley ripping off his shirt, laying on the floor, and screaming all the way to a national title sbnation.com/college-basket…

UConn made its 6th men's national championship look way easier than it should have been. On the stories behind Danny Hurley forging the Huskies into back-to-back champs:

New NBA mock draft with March Madness over:
- Stephon Castle breaks into the top-5
- Donovan Clingan rises into the top-10
- Devin Carter is a lottery pick

Feeling pretty good about the top-10 players here crystalizing in some order. It's draft season.

Two things are clear after Monday night:

The 2023-24 UConn Huskies are one of the greatest men's basketball teams of all-time, and Danny Hurley is the new coaching face of the sport. sbnation.com/2024/4/9/24124…

UConn finishes +140 in their six wins. Biggest margin of victory in men’s NCAA tournament history.

UConn won a natty by going +120 in six tournament wins last year, lost three guys to the NBA, and they’re gonna blow that mark out of the water this year for another title. Unreal. Danny Hurley is on a different level than everyone else.

UConn is so good at opening up space in their halfcourt sets even with multiple non-shooters on the floor. Edey too slow to recover a couple times and UConn getting easy buckets while Clingan rests. Yikes.

Camden Heide is definitely the funniest possible player to have a LeBron-esque tip dunk. What the heck

I like both Clingan and Edey as NBA prospects, but the best future pro in this game is Stephon Castle

If you hate Zach Edey you are either a moron or an Indiana fan

Was wondering if Painter would try Myles Colvin in this game. Only guard on the roster with the length/athleticism to matchup with UConn's perimeter players. I remember a rarely used freshman changing the natty when I was there in 2015 ... Grayson Allen. I like trying him early.
