Won't be as many guys here because I will be flying for Sunday's games. But some college thoughts as the nets start to get cut down this weekend.
-Scottie Reynolds, Villanova: his name will forever be etched into Villanova basketball history. That was a perfect play drawn up by the Wildcats at the end of the game to get their star point guard the ball on the run attacking the basket. And Reynolds finished with a driving layup with 0.5 seconds left to defeat Pittsburgh for a berth in the Final Four.
Last second shot notwithstanding, Reynolds is a pretty darn good point guard. He really found holes in the Pitt defense and was the exact spark 'Nova needed to win. The Wildcats play fantastic defense and it starts with their point guard. I have not seen him enough to really break down his game, but I liked what I saw tonight and the snippets I saw in Thursday's game against Duke.
He really knows how to get to the basket and make life hard for defenses. Whether he has the speed and poise to run an NBA team is another question.
-Jeff Adrian, Connecticut: this guy will not get drafted, but I am going to give some love to UConn's tough guy. He benefits a lot from having Hasheem Thabeet behind him, but he is a tough defender and a pretty solid rebounder. His height will limit any chance he has from making it in the pros, but I like his play. He is perfect for his team and fills a role for Connecticut.
