No. 28, which is about the same as Lavoy Allen's ranking, is actually FOX to save face, after all, there are 68 teams in the championship, which means that they feel that Tang Tian is the top 30 power forward in these teams.

"Jeremy is worse than us." Walker laughed along.

Lamb has been steadily improving this season, but it seems that FOX Sports is not buying it, and has placed him in the near 40th place among shooting guards.

The two of them laughed.

But after laughing for a while, they all stopped.

This ranking shows that although Kangda is not favored by them!

The two of them didn't speak, and they both felt something in each other's eyes: motivation.

Many people see this kind of ranking, see that their ranking is low, most of them will complain and complain, but they are different, Kangda was not favored at the beginning of the season, and it is completely normal to continue to be unfavored now.

This kind of disbelief is the motivation for them, and when you finally prove that others are looking away with your actions, that feeling is the coolest.

They experienced the first time in the league championship game, and knowing that feeling, naturally they wanted a second time.

"Practice!" Walker said and jumped up.

Tang Tian also stood up.

Providence College's opponent is Santa Barbara University.

After the game started, Marshon Brooks quickly became the absolute focus of the court, and no one at Santa Barbara University could stop this "little Kobe", who looked more than Kobe Bryant on the court, but simply Michael Jordan.

Brooks opened, and the bombardment of Providence College was surging like a tide.

In the end, Brooks scored 41 points in the game, helping Providence College to beat their opponents 91-63 and successfully advance to the final round of 64.

"!" After watching the game, Walker couldn't help but explode into a foul mouth.

"I just found out that this guy's scoring ability can be so explosive, no, I just found out that your defense is so good."

"Are you praising Brooks or me?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Praise them all, but praise you a little more." Walker said earnestly.

After the game, Brooks raised his hand and applauded the crowd.

The crowd cheered for Providence College throughout the game, and it was almost a home game for them.

Providence College's final victory is also good news for UConn, which shows that although only 5 teams have qualified this year, which is less than in previous years, the strength of the teams that have advanced is still among the best.

In two days, the round of 64 was finally determined, and the first round of Crazy March was about to start.

In order to ensure the progress of the competition, each sub-district will have eight competition cities, which have been decided a year ago, and in order to ensure fairness, some neutral cities without universities have been selected.

Games like UConn and San Diego State University are scheduled at Riverside District Stadium in Newark, New Jersey.

It was originally the home of the Newark Bears of the American Professional League Baseball, and it can accommodate up to 40,000 people at the same time.

Before the start of the game, tickets for the match had already been snapped up by fans on both sides.

When it comes to the tournament stage, a game that will be decided by fans on both sides will never be missed.

The day before the game, players from both teams arrived in the port city one after another.

Kangda is the No. 4 seed, San Diego State University is the No. 13, theoretically speaking, Kangda is the absolute dominant side, but there is no absolute one in the single Tao competition, a game that determines the winner and loser, play well, no matter how strong the strength is, it is not useful.

It is precisely because of this that the Kang University team members, who are mainly first-year students, are more or less nervous in their hearts.

In order to decompress the players, Cajon's approach is to train as usual and not deliberately adjust the team's rules.

It was also during this day's training session that Cajon made a decision to appoint Tang Tian as the captain of the team to participate in this tournament.

Under normal circumstances, the captain is the strongest player in the team, but it is not absolute, some teams will also choose a spiritual leader to play this role, and Tang Tian plays this role.

None of Walker, including Walker, had any opinion on Cajon's decision.

Tang Tian's past performances on and off the court have earned the trust of the coaching staff and teammates, and if he is the captain, he can also help Walker share the pressure of the game.

After the training, the players returned to the hotel one after another.

Tang Tian lay on the bed after taking a bath and didn't feel sleepy.

Counting it, more than half a year has passed since he crossed over, and most of the past six months have changed a lot for him.

has the clear goal of winning the championship, growing up with Walker and Lamb, going through ups and downs with them, playing until now, there are big wins, heavy defeats, reversals, so many games have been played, and his deep love for basketball has been rekindled little by little.

In his previous life, because he was a coach, he always stood at a high point and couldn't experience what it was like to be a player, but now after experiencing it once, he can feel that in addition to love, there are also a lot of things called blood in his heart.

Tomorrow is the tournament, and with Cajon just appointed him captain, he's tossing and turning.

"Don, did you sleep?" Walker was lying on the bed next to Tang Tian, and suddenly spoke.

"Not yet, why didn't you sleep, didn't you snore just now?" Tang Tian asked.

"I wanted to put myself to sleep, and I didn't want you to find out I couldn't sleep." Walker spoke.

"That's just in time, I don't want you to find out, so I haven't moved." Tang Tian continued.

After saying that, both of them couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you confident that you can stop Leonard?" After laughing, Walker asked.

"So are you confident that you can break through Leonard's defense?" Tang Tian also asked.

"Honestly, no, but I believe you and Jeremy, we're not like them, we score more points." Walker replied.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile after hearing this, although Walker wanted to win very much, he didn't lose his way because he wanted to win, he still knew very well what Kangda's advantages were.

"I'll defend Leonard, and Franklin, and I'll leave the offense to you and Jeremy." Tang Tian followed.

"Well, there's no reason we should lose."

"Yes."

"Then go to sleep."

"Hmm."

……

"Don, did you sleep?"

"Not yet."

"Sleep."

"Hmm."

……

"Don, did you sleep?"

"Not yet, if you really can't sleep, go find Jeremy, that guy must not have slept either."

"No, let's sleep."

……

The two of them just talked from time to time, and they didn't know when they really fell asleep.

As soon as it dawned the next day, they all woke up early.

It doesn't take long to sleep, but it's good to be in good spirits on a game day, and at this time, how much sleep you get is not so important.

They took the bus to the training gym and did some simple warm-up exercises in the morning.

On the bus, they also received news that in last night's game, North Carolina easily won the opponent by 20 points to advance to the round of 32, and the state was hot.

"We've got to work hard." When Walker heard the news, he turned his head and said to Tang Tian.

"Yes, it's our turn." Tang Tian nodded.
