Toppin declares for the NBA Draft (Link (https://collegebasketball.nbcsports.com/2020/03/25/obi-toppin-nba-draft/))


The 6-foot-9 Toppin put up 20.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. Also a menace on the defensive end (1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game), Toppin was one of the nation’s premier two-way players.

I watched an early pre-season tournament and was impressed by his skill set.

I wonder if Dayton will hang a banner saying - "NCAA Champions 2020- simulated computer tournament"

In my computer simulations, we made the tournament but had to play-in starting in Dayton. However, what goes around comes around and No 11 Xavier defeats No 2 Dayton (still upset because a Big East team was given that last No 1 seed). I stopped the simulations there ... no need to get crazy.

The Tournament That Wasn't: Xavier vs. Richmond, First Four (http://hoopshd.com/2020/03/26/the-tournament-that-wasnt-first-four-part-1/)

I would take this outcome with a win in Dayton and a first-round matchup with An Ohio State University.
