Re: NCAA Tournament - General Discussion
PC played arguably their worst game of the season. Didn't deserve to win this in any situation. Henton goes 5-22, Dunn with 7 TO's.

It's a credit to a very well coached team with very good experienced players who in my opinion had a chip on their shoulder from being seeded eleventh.

The biggest factor to me for Dunn's decision is his health. If he hadn't been injured so frequently I would feel less strongly that he needs to go. But he should go get paid while his health allows.
