Wish I had remembered how pathetic the announcers always are (Jay Williams, Duke; Cory Alexander, Richard Jefferson for a short while, UofA, and Amin?). They talked about everything but the game. From the beginning was clear was going to be the Michael Porter, Jr show - he's okay, but not enough to save Missouri next year. KU's Billy Preston didn't start - was in at end of game - missed a shot and threw the ball away. Had 10 points - 2 for 2 from 3pt. Will add the box score, and a couple of stories.
Trae Young (OU) won the 3 point contest. Trevon Duval looked solid - was another pg (forget who) who was flashier.
Duval (IMG Academy) and Preston (Oak Hill Academy) will both play with their HS teams in the Dick's Sporting Goods HS Nationals starting today. Will be on ESPNU.

The announcers (think mainly Jay Williams) said they didn't feel there were may OAD's on this year's McD roster. Thought that was interesting - the several players they interviewed during the game all seemed to think they were OAD material.
