He's a freshman, so he's got 3 more years of eligibility, though I don't know the NBA rules on underclassmen.

That was a good game though. I really think UConn Huskies will beat the Butler Bulldogs on Monday.

I agree - the first game wasn't as exciting. I hope Butler can pull it out, I don't like UConn and never have (grew up watching a lot of Syracuse, maybe that's why). Second chance in a row for Butler in the final... hope that the "experience" helps them, though that's never really worked in the past (e.g Michigan in the 1990s).

Overall though, I hope it's not a blowout.

B Knight and T Jones will bolt as freshmen. Maybe even Lamb will go to be a late 1st/early 2nd.

I am not sure if they are allowed to go to NBA Draft that early but I could be mistaken. If I were them, i would stay a little longer in the NCAA. Kentucky always have a good basketball program and staying will definitely help them grow and be ready for the big time.

Just need one year of Europe/NCAA for NBA eligibility.

UK has been a great program however, recently John Calipari has been about one and done players. Last year he had 6(?) players leave as freshman (Edit: 5 left early and 4 as freshmen) and called it the biggest day in UK history. If the next year of UK recruits is as strong as they say it is then if I'm Doron Lamb I might not want to be lost in another stronger group of freshman.

EDIT:
"I made the statement, and I'll make it again, that it (NBA Draft) was the biggest day in Kentucky basketball history,'' Calipari said, "and I wasn't talking to the past. I was talking to the future.'' - John Calipari

The fact that I had a shot at 2nd place with the POS bracket that I turned in is a testament to how wacky this entire tournament has been. After the first weekend I was barely .500.

Huzzah!

i just love watching Kemba Walker and Jeremy Lamb play. Lamb doesn't look big but the guy is awesome. When this guy gets stronger, he'll be a force for UConn.

That game was awful to watch. I lost interest about 5 minutes into the second half after what seemed like 20 straight shots for Butler missed.

Worst Bball game I have ever witnessed.

I think Butler should change their name to "Clunk" university.

Brutal to watch.
