I don't think so, I think he was hurt at the end of the season and somewhat questionable for the first round.

Colorado had a lot of opportunities and blew almost all of them down the stretch. Missed some wide open threes
great game, and of course their post player hits both ends of the 1&1.
but Marquette made big shots at the end and CU didn't.
Tennessee and Marquette should be out IMO, but that is the fun of this tournament. Just find ways to win.

Why are we still bringing him up? Lipsey is twice the player he is. It worked out great for Hunter to leave.
Seems like we've seen some really poor decision making, or lack of urgency, at end of game situations by several teams.
In the game that just ended, CU is down by 4 with the ball, and their guy just kind of f's around for a few seconds, and eventually just hoists up a bad 3.
I mean, I know it's highly unlikely they were going to overcome a 4 point game with 7-8 seconds left, but at least try, dude!!

Agreed. Plus it gives TJ an example to point out if anyone is thinking about leaving. Look at what happens when you leave under my umbrella. You end up going pro in something other than basketball.
Agreed, there was a slim chance, but Simpson screwing around gave them zero chance even if he makes it.
I was able to bounced back OK in 2015 - upset occurred early enough on day 1 that even by that night I started to shake it off and climb back into it. By Friday, I was "normal." I do recall the first hour after the loss, I think all I did was stare blankly at the TV.
In 2000, I attempted to watch the Elite 8 games that Sunday, but didn't really give a ****.

He was hurt. Apparently, it's been a thing for Big East fans to say that he can't read and that he's academically ineligible.
I think you are thinking about 2015, not 2014. 2014 was the Niang foot year.
I just. said. that. first. sentence. in the. voice. of Christopher Walken.
There was a fake tweet going around saying that. He was just hurt.
Crazier Stat: This was Colorado's first-ever tournament game on a Sunday. It is their 31st tournament game.
Utah State has a player named Great Osobor. That's a badass name. Hope he can take down Purdue!
