Now we'll see if the rumors have any legs. Apparently there is talk Shareef O'Neal would decommit from UCLA and play for his dads ex teammate Penny. We were told that Shareef wanted to go to UCLA all along anyways, but didn't want to deal with the LaVar Ball circus so he committed to Arizona. So it will be interesting to see now if he sticks with UCLA or goes with Penny, which would hopefully result in UCLA getting Jordan Brown who is the guy I wanted over Shareef anyways.

Loyola-Chicago is seeking its first Final Four appearance since 1963. If the Ramblers advance, they would match the lowest seed in NCAA Tournament history to reach Final Four (2011 VCU, 2006 George Mason, 1986 LSU).
