Walter Clayton got player of the tournament player of the Final Four, which he deserved... But Will Richard was the player of the game for this game.

Every major college coaching opening should start by calling Brad Stevens and making him say no
You gotta make him say no. You gotta call Brad Stevens and make him say no. I will personally never stop saying that. He probably wakes up every morning and says no.
