I didn't hear him interviewed after the game. The main reason I really don't see him coming back is that in both the cases of Floria and UNC it was 3 projected lottery picks who combined to decide they want to take another year at it. Turner lacks peers of that caliber.

I'll sweat it if I hear buzz about this in a couple of weeks. That'll mean a heck of a lot more than raw on the court emotions.

"I can't give a percentage right now," Turner said, his eyes red and his voice catching, when asked if he'll return to Ohio State for his senior year. "I really don't want to go out like this."


After reading that comment from www.globe-democrat.com/news/2010/mar/27/...ck-turner-ohio-stat/ there i'll agree with pants and if the story picks up heat after a couple of weeks then i'll get worried.

Good call. Probably the best way to approach this.

That would be too hard.
Just imagine, we wont get Wall or Turner this year and then lose our pick to the Clippers the year after.

Timberwolves, where no future happens.

Well, with the West Virginia win I can finish with 2 of 4 in final four, as I had:
Kansas v K St.
&
W.V. v Baylor

Soooo, C'Mon Baylor!!!!! That should be a fun one nonetheless. IDK about you guys, but Duke is the team I love to hate.

and that Butler win earlier was great! I'd gladly lose my pool/money to see the little/littler guys win and pull off the upset.

West Virginia!!!!!! Heck yes just jumped me into 1st in my money pool with the only way i can lose is if Duke wins out, which sadly is possible.

So i will be jumping all over that Baylor bandwagon for tomorrow SlimPickens


Butler going to the Final Four is amazing showing the selection committee how a 5 seed was a disgrace to them. I mean they had won 20 games in a row heading into the tournament. How does that not earn you at least a 3 seed. Won't mind seeing Butler win it all. That is Butler or De'sean Butler!!

Sadly the only team I correctly have in the Final 4 right now is Butler. I did pick Duke as well, but seeing as how my bracket is already crap, I hope they lose.

All I've got left is Bayler.

The Gophers beat 2 teams that are in the Final 4.

Coincedence?

God I frickin hate Duke. Sucks. I was really pulling for Baylor.

I'm having a hard time getting excited about this final four in any way. I loved Kansas State but they looked completely exhausted against Butler. What is up with that team? Do they have some black magic that causes good teams to go into a fog and not come out until the buzzer sounds.

How sick is that BUTLER is not only in the final four but by virtue of who they've beaten SHOULD make the final. I've watched them play big parts of two games and I can't even remember who is on that team.

God I wish that Baylor big man (Acy) had knocked Scheyer's teeth out when he was crying about how he was intentionally fouled at the end of the game. Did you see how Nolan Smith tried to stand up to him for approximately 1 second before realizing he was meat waiting to be ground.

Yea I'm in no way excited for the Final 4. I don't care who wins just as long as Duke loses. I guess I'd like to see WV or Butler win cuz Mich St. won one not too long ago.

I'm not going to go out of my way to watch any of the remaining games. I could care less about any of the final four teams.

As long as Duke loses I'll be happy. If not, well then @#)$(@#*$)(

I'm pumped up for the final four just because of all that has went down already. (Biased a little since i picked West Virginia to win it all in my money league) But i have a feeling that the championship game is saturday night between West Virginia and Duke because i honestly don't see Michigan St. or Butler beating them but the way this tournament has unfolded anything is possible!!

Butler continues to get no respect from national media even though they hold the longest winning streak this year. Team is full of solid players and with the final four virtually being a home game for them they could be cutting down the nets. I stand by that Butler should have been a #2 seed in the tournament. What they've done in the tournament only solidifies that.

Michigan St. is ??? There is no word to describe how Tom Izzo continues to bring his teams to the Final Four. This is his 6th FF in 12 years. That's insane. Best player on the team Kalin Lucas done for the season with torn achillies in the 2nd round and yet the team manages to hit the buzzer beater to beat Maryland and move on and give Izzo a week to prepare for Northern Iowa and Tennessee, and you could have locked them into the FF last week. (Different story if they would have had to play Ohio St.)

West Virginia probably the best defensive team left and have Mr. Big Shot in De'sean Butler who has 5 game winning shots this year already and can play the 2,3,4, positions. Not to mention West Virginia gets their PG back from a broken bone in his foot this team will be at full strength. I like Huggin's story too. Led Cincinnati to the FF in 93 or 94 don't remember and then had a heart attack in 2002 i believe. Then he returned to his alma matter in West Virginia who haven't been to the FF since Jerry West's days at WV back in 1959.

Duke will be a tough out now that they have reached the FF. Even though I hate this team with a passion you can't reject the type of team Coach K has got on the court. First time Duke has been to the FF since 2004 so it's been awhile for Coach K. This team is also very good defensively and are the best 3 point shooting team left.

So with all that being said i'll say it again that i'm excited for this tournament just because none of the people who were supposed to be here are here - duke. I'm looking for Butler or West Virginia to win it all since neither team has won the tournament before and would be a perfect ending for this years tournament.

I wanted that skirmish to escalate so bad. If that would have turned into a brawl, I think it would have been remembered as the greatest moment in NCAA Tournament history. Maybe even one of the greatest moments in American history. There aren't many things that would give me more joy than watching Duke players getting the crap kicked out of them and I'm sure 95% of Americans echo that sentiment.
