AJ Dybantsa left it all out there the past couple weeks. Asked to do a crazy amount without Saunders and hardly wore down. Zero assists tonight but thought he made good decisions passing. Where he was in November compared to now is night and day - has made a strong case at No. 1.

He overcame the staircase at Mackey Arena to become the greatest.

Weird day for Cam Boozer, Duke escapes. Siena gameplanned well - stayed home, made him attack a set defense, clogged the paint effectively. Underscores you need a rim protector next to him - Duke misses Ngongba. Cayden Boozer and Isaiah Evans stepped up and deserve credit.

What a day

Joined @SportsCenter today to talk a little draft. Weighed in on the rise of Darius Acuff Jr. — as well as the state of the No. 1 pick race going into March Madness.

I ask myself this question no less than three or four times a day

Bummer. Could be it for Brown unless Louisville advances and he’s healthy next week. Remains a projected Top 10 pick, but we didn’t get to see a whole lot of him this season.

Just in: The NBA will hold a vote at the Board of Governors meetings March 24-25 to explore adding expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, with the two franchises targeted for the 2028-29 season, sources tell ESPN. There is momentum for stakeholders to approve surveying what industry executives project will be bids in the $7-to-$10 billion range for each team.

Switching things up today and made it back to Chicago for the Big Ten tournament. Keaton Wagler in midst of a very good day for Illinois. Michigan skirted by earlier. Best time of year

Huge night coming up at the Big 12 tournament with BYU playing Houston in an hour, and Kansas playing TCU right after. A lot of NBA honchos milling around. Not often you get the projected top two picks playing back to back (and potentially, head to head again tomorrow)

Source: Tennessee star freshman Nate Ament is expected to play against Auburn today in the SEC quarterfinals. He’s listed as questionable. There’s no certainly how many minutes he’ll go, but the expectation now is that he’ll play.

Two very strong days from AJ Dybantsa here in Kansas City propelling BYU into a huge quarterfinal matchup against Houston tomorrow. He’s had everything on display and had to carry a huge workload. Playing very well at the right time.

New @ESPN mock draft today as we enter the thick of conference tourney week. Quite a bit to follow over the next few weeks with so many top prospects slated to make the NCAA tournament. espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Just from eyeballing this, have seen at least one decision-maker from nearly every lotto team in KC for AJ Dybantsa tonight. Has the opportunity to lead BYU on a multi-day run here. Going to be a very interesting week

Hopped on @ESPN NBA Today from the Big 12 tournament in Kansas City this afternoon. Previewing this week’s new mock draft (coming tomorrow) and a loaded event headlined by No. 1 pick candidates Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa (who’s set to play in a few hours).

BREAKING: Top-five senior Caleb Holt has committed to Arizona, he announced on @FirstTake. Holt becomes Tommy Lloyd’s highest-ranked recruit since taking over in Tucson. Holt developed a strong relationship with Lloyd on the USA Basketball U19 team last summer.
