just learned they are doing the Division II / Division III and NIT championships as a one-ticket triple-header at the Pacers arena in Indianapolis today and I'm gonna be honest I am devastated not to be there

this has to be the greatest single-game defensive performance in baseball history. especially considering they won 1-0

sure enough: with a net rating of +39.72, Michigan is now the highest-rated Kenpom team of the 21st century and the second-highest ever behind only 1999 Duke which also played UConn in the national championship game (and lost)

and for the fifth year in a row and the 10th time in the last 12 tournaments, a team wearing blue will win the NCAA men's basketball championship

I think this massive blowout win over the #1 ranked team might give Michigan the highest KenPom net rating of any team in any season since 1999 Duke (which lost in the national championship game to UConn)

this Michigan team may be the best college basketball team to have ever briefly trailed Northwestern by 15 points before eventually winning comfortably

i am joining Geno Auriemma's war on Dawn Staley on the side of Dawn Staley

lmaoooo at Geno complaining that one of his players had a ripped jersey and then ESPN showing video of her ripping her own jersey

"UConn is down double-digits for the first time all seaso—" (2 seconds later) "and that's a 9-0 run for UConn!"

I have highlighted the most important paragraph of the story about the newest executive order about college sports

we won’t have true equality until the NCAA stops writing inscrutable catchphrases like “Four It All” or “What It’s All Four” on the court at the women’s Final Four

College football loves to invent things that people like and make a ton of money and then discard those things in pursuit of slightly more money

today's March Madness newsletter headline is a direct quote from Dan Hurley's mom sports.beehiiv.com/p/duke-uconn...

This entire video is worth watching, but reading this woman's lips is everything.

wanna feel old? UConn basketball hero Braylon Mullins is not at all related to former Ohio State basketball player Byron Mullens. Not his son at all, not even spelled the same

honestly this clip of Dan Hurley's parents yelling HOLY SHIT in unison is the most romantic thing I've ever seen

the NCAA uploaded raw footage of the UConn buzzer-beater from every camera CBS had in the building to youtube (will drop in the replies) and the best part has to be this hard pan to Dan Hurley's mom yelling HOLY FUCKING SHIT followed by a synchronized simultaneous HOLY SHIT by both Hurley parents
