Colorado guard KJ Simpson shoots over Florida guard Zyon Pullin at the end of a first-round college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament, Friday, March 22, 2024, in Indianapolis. Colorado won 102-100.
A few blocks from the home of the NFL scouting combine, Lampkin conducted his own personal shuttle run. As the nation gasped and the Buffs danced, the CU big man zipped from the middle of the floor, around a security barrier, up some steps and into a phalanx of fans, friends and family members. He slapped a few of them five, pointed to the grill in his mouth, then beamed like a Cheshire cat.
“I’m never scared,” said Simpson, who finished with 23 points, five dimes and five boards, “of taking a shot like that.” But Lampkin, a senior transfer from TCU who dropped 21 points on the Gators, gives them an engine, gears that drive opposing centers — and opposing fans — positively nuts. Big 44 has the soft touch of a watchmaker and the stage presence of a pro wrestling heel. Once Eddie crawls under your skin, then your soul, he’s there for the night.
Florida guard Walter Clayton Jr. shoots over Colorado guard Luke O’Brien in the second half of a first-round college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament, Friday, March 22, 2024, in Indianapolis.
