I am still very disappointed Lamar Simpson does not get a look. Don't get it, but there are things they know I do not know.

Smith was an alternate last year. I think that was his first Final Four.

This was last year:

Saturday, 4/2/2022
(2) Villanova vs. (1) Kansas -- Keith Kimble, Doug Sirmons, James Breeding
(8) North Carolina vs. (2) Duke -- Roger Ayers, Bo Boroski, Tony Padilla

Monday, 4/4/2022
(8) North Carolina vs. (1) Kansas -- Ron Groover, Jeff Anderson, Terry Oglesby

Final Four Alternates: Bert Smith and Joe Lindsay

So returning from last year: Kimble, Sirmons, Ayres, Groover, Anderson, Ogelsby, Smith. Not there last year: Higgins, Kissinger, Reed, Szelc.
