Drew Timme's footwork is spectacular, not "alright". Watch him carefully, he'll get you to commit to the right or left, then without lifting his pivot foot, go the other direction and finish with either hand off the glass. He can also do drop step moves, the Euro-step, etc... He does these things while having to control the weight and momentum of a man his size, give him some credit please.........

This was probably the best march madness because of all the clutch shots and dramatic endings this year.
When you watch Suggs play, you can tell he has so much composure. He never looks rushed or hurried. A very smooth game. Detroit would love to him I'm sure.
Definitely one of the best Games ever for any sport.

A lot of folks don't realize just how good this young man is. I'm not just referring to his confidence and skills, but his poise, game IQ, timing in going for a steal or block shot, ability to make those around him better, ability to finish drives to the basket with either hand, his leadership, etc..... all of this and don't forget he's only a freshman (probably 19yrs. old). If Gonzaga wins this game and Suggs ends up being the MVP, he will be the number 1 overall pick in the up coming NBA draft!
