I love that the entire stadium erupts everytime Mamadou Ndiaye makes a basket. He seems to be attracting a crowd with his imposing size.

He showed some decent footwork in a play as well. It's crazy, 6'10" Mathiang looks like a kid trying to guard him. He's so huge, it's nuts.

He's a giant!

Louisville escaped. Wow. This is by far the best first 2 days of the tournament I've seen. The lower seeds have given the high seeds the business, with a few of them coming out.

The mid majors are either catching up, or the big conferences are just not playing well.

I know I am being greedy, cause yesterday was the best day I can remember. However, today so far has been really meh with only two decent games so far (Indiana Wichita and Lville Urvine). I am really hoping we get at least 1 or 2 more upsets today.

NBA scout says 7-6 Mamadou Ndiaye is a 'real long shot' to play in the NBA because of the pace of the game.

Guys that tall are often brittle and have poor health and short careers marred by injury. 

Don't be GM Rob Lowe and draft this stiff, buy Direct TV.

I wish Ok. State give LeBryan Nash the ball more, so we can see if he's NBA worthy. His body and athleticism seems like NBA ready, but I want to see if his game is.

While it is against a #16, Justice Winslow is showing why he's going to be a very good NBA player despite scouts saying he has limited upside.

His motor is class above. He keeps running, he doesn't give up on plays, and always makes the correct decision on the floor.

He's within reach for us.

LB Nash didn't really have a good game, but he showed he can score. He could be an underrated pick in this years draft.

The entire Ok. State defense on the other hand, terrible.

Is it me or Frank Kaminsky the second coming of Kelly Olynyk? Their game looks very similar, with Kaminsky being probably a little quicker.

The more I watch Justice Winslow, the more I want him.

I don't think he'll be the franchise player we are looking for, but he'll be the guy who would do everything else on the court very well, with energy and won't give up on plays.

He's withing range for sure. I get the limited upside and the shady shooting, but his motor, his IQ, athleticism, I'm sold. He and Smart would be rabid dogs on defense and on effort.

I am all aboard the Winslow train too. I would love for the Celtics to pick him up. We might have to move up to pick Winslow, but I think he'd be worth it.

I'm more impressed with him than I am with Stanley Johnson.

I've said it before, I believe Winslow is a perfect fit and he might exceed expectations in the NBA next year. I hope he will do so as a C.
