With a 64-55 victory over UT-Arlington in the WAC championship game, New Mexico State instantly became one of the most interesting low seeds in the NCAA Tournament.
Sim Bhullar says ‘Hello, world’
Meet New Mexico State’s 7’5 355 freshman center, who punched the Aggies ticket to the Big Dance on Saturday night with a dominating 16 point, 15 rebound, 5 block performance.

That's what happens when you have a 7'5 355 center who isn't a complete stiff. Check out what happens to Jordan Reves, a 6'10 240 center, when Bhullar, a 19-year old from Toronto, gets the ball in the low post:
Forget about taking any easy shots near the basket against him either. After his first several blocks, Bhullar had the UT-Arlington guards throwing up shots like these:
My personal favorite is this gif of Bhullar setting a pick on the Mavericks 5’9 175 guard:
You can’t even see No. 12 in the frame for a second!
Bhullar is no Shawn Bradley or Pavel Podkolzine. The whole "can't run up and down a basketball court" thing might be a bit of an issue for him against a team like Louisville, but a half-court squad like Wisconsin better not catch Sim Bhullar in the first round.
Here’s the really scary part: Tanveer, his younger brother, is a 7’3 300 high school junior! He was in the stands for this game and New Mexico State is recruiting him.
I, for one, welcome our new Canadian basketball overlords.
