I drew North London

Schass ❤️❤️❤️

🎥 Iowa continues to show that they can win in a multitude of ways, which will bode well for them as the schedule gets tougher. 🍎 bit.ly/4rdenBL 📺 youtu.be/DiJpnn9PtS4 Clip from The @herhoopstats.com Podcast Hosts: @megangauer.bsky.social and @rjoyce34.bsky.social

I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed. And I had to drown my disappointment in a Nutella donut.

Iowa’s Ava Heiden has to be the most improved player in the nation so far this year, right?

It’s amazing how much more fun these top-20 games are in front of a sold-out, rowdy crowd on a campus. Instead of inside an 80% empty neutral NBA arena. Almost like there should be more of them.

I need 4-versus-5 (with the four winning) like I need air. This is true Sickos stuff. I can't get enough. Play another 20 minutes.

Regardless of how this game finishes, Belmont looks like a 9/10-seed caliber team that the committee would put as a 12-seed just because. And that poor 5-seed is very much not going to enjoy that first round matchup

It's one game, it's November 3rd, so it's all good. But my "Duke will score enough to make the Final Four" take is off to a rip-roaring start.

Acquiring an Oreo Reese’s cookie is a reminder that Double Stuf Oreos should be renamed “Acceptably Stuffed Oreos”, and anything less is an improper cookie-to-filling ratio. Long way of saying: 6.5/10. Higher if there was more filling.

It feels like so much of the conversation around Arsenal is coloured by a weird folk memory of the 0-0 at the Etihad. It’s now got to the stage where they can outshoot the champions at Anfield but be decried for their caution because of a Szobszlai screamer.

“Give to your kids what you didn’t have” I didn’t have Power Wheels, so we had to right a wrong with a birthday gift

Ten in a row for the Sox. Undefeated record in-person remains intact. First game in the Monster seats. Vibes. Are. High.

The Travelers delivers every single year.

Three-hour metal smith class on a weekend getaway. “Make whatever you want”. Challenge accepted Loop rings prevented there from being a whole lot of negative space between the tail and W, but beggars, choosers, etc.

*extremely toddler parent tweet* It’s obnoxious how catchy Danny Go’s superhero song is. A banger.

Summer has officially arrived. First bacon, lettuce, watermelon sandwich of the year ✅ (Forgot the sub roll though. We’ll improve from game one to game two)

Back from a week visiting the Mouse and the lawn is thriving

OH MY WORD!!!! Enjoy it, soak it all up. Arsenal have knocked out Real Madrid!!!!!!!! Gabriel Martinelli. 2-1 in the Bernabeu.

Since 1999 there have been (after tomorrow) 52 national champions in men's and women's basketball. The University of Connecticut has accounted for 17 of those.

Gosh I love Bukayo Saka 💫

Texas smothering defensively for 20 minutes and forcing all sorts of TCU issues, only to be up two at the half feels like a big-time let-off. Frogs gotta feel GREAT

Honestly the LSU gameplan was magnificent. Betts and Rice were contained, take your chances elsewhere. And if Jaquez and Gardiner combine to make nine threes, you’ve gotta just tip your cap

Duke after the Paopao missed FTs: - Richardson wild layup w/ :22 on the shot clock - Bad pass, turnover - Okananwa layup - Sub out Fournier, don’t use 1 of 2 timeouts, airball 3 w/ :07 left - Line up for FTs out of a Gamecock timeout (what???) - Inbounds stolen w/ :05 left Not quite a masterclass

In two fourth quarters this year TCU outscored Notre Dame 51-22 and the magic continues. Irish’s season can’t be labeled anything but a disappointment. It seemed like it all came together, then in the last month it just didn’t.

Can count on one hand how many openings Hidalgo has had today? What defense by TCU (And somehow the Hailey Van Lith redemption tour is still under-appreciated)

Said on the pod on Tuesday, Ole Miss can disrupt UCLA offensively (Betts 8-9, everyone else 5-17), can force turnovers (8-1 edge), can hold their own on the glass (+2 with 12 o-boards)... but could they score enough for it to matter? Signs of life in the second...

Aziaha James, Saniya Rivers, Madison Hayes 🫡

Can't convince me that Aneesah Morrow isn't one of the five best players in the country this year

Uh-oh, they let MiLaysia get going

Scoring shouldn’t be this hard. It doesn’t have to be this hard.

UNC's defense is so overwhelming. They've allowed 70+ five times all year, which is fewer times than they've allowed less than 55 vs NCAA Tournament teams (6)

Okay, with two very entertaining exceptions the second round was a dud. And there were basically no real upsets. But that just means we’re getting insane Sweet 16 matchups. NC State-LSU? TCU-ND round 2? Texas-Tennessee? UConn-Oklahoma? Duke-UNC? Feed it to me

Oklahoma allowed less than 65 points twice all year vs NCAA Tourney teams. Allowed 58 vs FGCU, on pace to allow 54 vs Iowa. Also on pace for its eighth straight game with fewer than 20 TOs (which seemed impossible for them to do two months ago)

What a win for Kansas State. Amazing game. Absolutely brutal way for Georgia Amoore’s career to end. Couldn’t get a better look than that

This K-State/Kentucky game has had six ties and 11 lead changes, and it feels like twice that. Highly entertaining

“Research, effort, time, watching way too many games since November” 🆚 “Filled it out in five minutes. No research, just straight guts and vibes” 🙄

Midway through the third and Cal has nearly twice as many turnovers (15) as field goals (8)... and trails by eight. For someone who thought this was the most "blah" game outside the 1-3 seeds, the Bears being in this game is the kind of sicko stuff I'm here for.
