and now it's reported and confirmed that 2 OSU fans sent threatening messages to TOSU player EJ liddell after the game. ONe said he wanted to find him and physically attack him, the other said he was a disagrace to the school and he hoped we never see you again at OSU. Liddell showed screenshots of the messages to the media, the school has reported to authorities and are investigating.

Stay classy TOSU.

Someone on a UCLA board said Oregon must have sold their soul to the devil this year. they bailed on multiple good games in conference citing covid, the Pac 12 allowed it and they then got to make up the games AFTER getting their injured PG Will Richardson back, and wound up winning the conference. They then get a uncontested game against VCU due to Covid.

Best story of the tourney is Ohio PG Jason Preston. they just shocked Virginia to advance. Preston as a senior in HS was 5'11" 140 pounds. the only game he started all year was senior day, 2 PPG. Was set to go to college and try to be a sportswriter, was doing a Pistons blog. A buddy said we're short a guy for our AAU team want to play, and he did. He then had a little growth spurt and decided to enroll in a post graduate school for one more shot. HIs mom had died of cancer at 15 and he had to live with a friend after that so he said I just couldn't give up on my dream. Grew to 6'4" got a scholarship to Ohio and is now on NBA radars.

he plays very much like Jason Williams, look away passes very flashy over 7 apg. Today was the first time i've seen him play wow great story and fun kid to watch

The announcer just questioned Illinois toughness inside.
