Kevin Durant left in the second round last year, and I think people continued to pay attention.” Yeah - but tell me that the "tourney" or CBS wouldn't have drooled like Jordy looking across the LOS and seeing Talib lined up on him if Texas and Durant made it to the Elite 8 or Final Four. Ratings would have gone straight bonkers. I don't buy it for a second that there isn't a vested interest by all parties to have the nations top player in the tourney. Not for one second. Of course, I thought the name "Bob Huggins" carried weight as well. Well...it does...just the wrong kind. I'm terrible. “The tournament is the draw, not necessarily an individual.
