March Madness Challenge


RETIREDFAN1

Recommended Posts

When my oldest boy was playing his last year of summer basketball, we were in NY playing on the piers of Manhattan.  After dropping the first game of the weekend, we won the next two and were playing a brand new team on our circuit in the last game of the weekend on Sunday.  The team was out of Minnesota called “Grassroots Sizzle” and had a freshman playing for them we were told was the nephew of Terrell Suggs.  He was obviously playing up in 17u and we were told he was one of the top dual threat QBs in the country.  We won the game but he was impressive for a freshman, and we assumed we might see him in the NFL someday.  However, the next couple of years, it became obvious that basketball was his future.
 

Fast forward 4 years and Jalen just hit a 45 footer at the buzzer in OT to send his Gonzaga team to the championship game.  He will also be a lock top 5 pick in this year’s NBA draft.  
 

Oh, and the next year a kid joined him for Sizzle, a 7 footer named Chet Holmgren.  Chet is even better and will almost certainly be the number one pick in the following draft.

Thoughts on the blocked dunk that lead to the fast break dunk for Timme?

Looks like a foul on the replay.  That was a 4 point swing 

Game speed, I thought it was a legit block and play. With today’s technology and the ability for slo mo, it was a foul, but the refs don’t have that ability. Refs also probably looked away from the hands area, not thinking that Suggs is going to Superman his way up there for a block!  It’s always easier to call a foul in slo mo. I thought overall the refs were pretty consistent on their calls and non calls.
