I can’t wait for Spurs vs. Knicks

Okay which of you is this

Nothing like hearing a large metallic-tinged crash from the other room and the small voice of a 2.5 year old saying “uh oh”

This got me good

Anyone fretting about how this will impact brackets has clearly never run an office pool. 80%+ of the entries come in after 11 am on Thursday.

I am not that upset about expansion because the games will be good! The Final 4 is great because the teams are evenly matched. These teams will be evenly matched. I like high stakes ball between evenly matched teams and now I get more. I think @kenpom.com wrote about this but I can’t find a link.

Net bad that the NCAA Tournament is expanding but it is amusing that the people who are maddest are the same ones who will structure their mid-March Tuesday around being locked in for Kansas State vs. Xavier at 4 pm.

Today I learned airplane seat cushion manufacturers have a machine called the “Squirmin’ Herman” to test durability. And yes, it does look like a hydraulic press pushing a butt into a seat.

At least he had one win today

Joel Embiid simply wanted it more than Jayson Tatum

It’s good because the Celtics lost

It’s simple to me: was the call adverse to the Celtics? If so it’s good

Sixers vs. Knicks

The Celtics are going to lose because their fans didn’t want it enough and didn’t root hard

12 minutes left to see if Nikola Jokic can overcome ***every other thing about the Nuggets franchise*** can’t wait to get super mad for all of it

Why does the Michael Jarman excel world championship walk out song go so hard

It’s important to remember that the NCAA is making its tournament worse in part to wring out a few extra dollars because Mark Emmert made one of the worst TV deals of all time. Spectacular incompetence, as was typical of everything Emmert ever did.

Apparently they also play something called “professional basketball” in the Big East Tournament’s arena?

Many are saying The Denver Nuggets are good

“Humans are so limited by the fear we have of falling to our death” - guy in a documentary about how he fell to his death

[/watching a documentary about a guy who got into BASE jumping and wingsuits because free soloing wasn’t dangerous enough] “You know, I think this guy had some demons”

I wonder which one the future D1 basketball player is

Will be a fun race for Overall No. 1 seed next year. Gainesville, Ann Arbor, Storrs, Durham, and East Lansing are all closer to NYC (east regional) than any other site (Kansas City, San Antonio, LA).

This was 18 months ago lmao

Solo Ball situation is awful. But is fascinating from an NIL perspective. He is a senior. By doing a deal now you can lock him in for a full season of NIL when he’s healthy, and reallocate to portal for guys who can play this year. Win/win for player and team, considering. (I’m sad).

I have the world’s least popular opinion which is that this Spurs court is horrific and difficult to watch

Get to the part where he started a war with other Syracuse donors cratering their basketball program that’s the part I like

It must be wild to be worried about the transfer portal instead of watching an amusing bowling documentary as you kill time waiting for two alums of your school to start an NBA playoff series. Other schools should try having the best coaching staff in the country. It’s nice!

The last three years Dan Hurley has locked in on a scheme fit for his priority transfer target: 24 - Tarris Reed (worked out okay!) 25 - Silas Demary Jr. (worked out okay!) 26 - Nik Khamenia (I can guess where this is going!) Dan Hurley is good at his job.

It is amusing that the Big East’s secret weapon is less paperwork. From @cjmoorehoops.bsky.social

This is about Andre Drummond and I’m upset and confused

Some personal news: your boy is about to have himself an evening

Feeling exceptionally grateful for UConn’s run. Three title games in four years is incredible, but six straight tournaments is also a program record. It’s a golden age, and it’s been so fun to share it, both with good friends and the great community on here. Go Huskies. 💙🐺

The brand is so strong @homefield.bsky.social

Most men’s NCAA tournament wins as a starter: 1) Christian Laettner - 21 2) Alex Karaban - 18* Also 2) Bobby Hurley - 18 *Still active

Since 1999 UConn men’s basketball is 30-4 (88.2%) in NCAA Tournament games in the Sweet 16 or later. 30-4!

The European mind cannot comprehend this

One thing I didn’t think the national media considered enough was Dan Hurley is “good at coaching basketball” and Brad Underwood is Brad Underwood

UConn is the first to 69 points this evening . In the Dan Hurley era, UConn is 147-1 (99.32%) when scoring 69 points before their opponent. Huskies lead Illinois 69-62 with 26 seconds remaining.

UConn by several billion

Sarah Strong throw me off a highway overpass

There were a lot of great reaction videos to the Braylon Mullins shot but no one cracks me up like this guy

I have two main pairs of sneakers. One is more comfortable, easy choice for Final Four walking. For no reason, an hour before I left, my brain decided the other pair was lucky. I spent an hour telling myself it was ridiculous. Small bag. Don’t need two pairs. I packed the lucky pair too

We are so close

Alex Karaban’s 17 NCAA Tournament wins gives him as many as Providence has all time. He has more than: 16 - Seton Hall, Miami (FL), Texas A+M 15 - Arizona State, Oregon State 14 - Clemson, Minnesota, VCU 11 - UMass, Vanderbilt
