I was just about to post the same clip.  Good pub from a guy that hates mid majors.

My roommates were shocked to see him be no.1 by Bilas, but we already knew how great of a point guard he was.

Probably not.  It's great recognition for DJ and a real coup that Bilas thinks a non-Big 6 conference player is the best something in the nation, but he's still biased toward the bigger schools.  I think DJ beats Burke as best point guard.  In their one head-to-head meeting, the line was

               DJ         Burke
FGs     7-11          5-15
3-pts   3-6            2-9
FTs     4-5            4-4
Pts         21            16
Rebs       2              3
Assts       5              5
TOs         3               2
Stls          0              1
Outcome W             L

The resulting free throws by Offutt sealed a 65-60 win for Ohio. (AP Photo/Mark Humphrey)

Bilas is still a tool. But, kudos for the pub!

To be fair, Burke was only a freshman and I think he's gotten a lot better even since the end of last year.  Major props to DJ though because he deserves the pub from the national media.  Can't even imagine where we'd be the last four years without him.

Not being amazed by DJ's vision passing is going to take some getting used to.
