However those last five minutes played out, whether the Mullins shot goes in or not, that is unbelievable culture stuff by UConn all second half. Win or lose they weren't going out like that

Do you guys remember when Nate Oats tried to gaslight the whole country and blow up the NCAA so he could play a solid rim-running center for five games, anyway new Bubble Watch went up today

Huge win for Indiana. If I was a Wisconsin fan my head would be on Mars
Unbeaten Miami (Ohio) plays at Marshall today. The Redhawks are both a hugely enjoyable story and apparently designed in a lab to break bracket people's brains (especially in a post-WAB world):

Hell of a lede to describe the state of college basketball right now from one of my fav writers @eamonnbrennan.bsky.social

There are Indiana football diehards who stuck it out forever, who deserve tonight more than anyone. But I’d guess there are millions of people like me: once enthusiastic, long since lapsed, now unimaginably all in.

Thank you! Also I agree
The Indiana football high is so potent I'm just letting this Bears situation wash over me. Pure acceptance. I am of the nature to die, etc.

Barkley on NIL/portal: "There's no job in the world where you get to be a free agent every year"
I love Chuck but I don't think he knows how most jobs work
Remember when college basketball had "no great teams?" That's over now

A truly incredible 70 seconds of college basketball commentary
Florida-UConn is small guys making shots and big guys punching each other in the face for every rebound
My Illinois-Alabama analysis:
*extremely loud cackling noises*
Lotta season left blah blah but highly likely Wake Forest just won the Bubble Watch gut-punch loss of the year award
The latest in the Buzzer preview series -- on what should be a really fun edition of the Big Ten, with a handful of new coaches adding yet more more tactical variety -- is here. Offseason finish line in sight!

I never thought it would happen to me
Indiana football is a source of unironic joy
Wrote about something that hadn't occurred to me until the podcast earlier this week: In the portal era, it's now part of a program's job to connect new players with fans.

I competed in College Basketball Jeopardy with the brilliant @eamonnbrennan.bsky.social and @ksweeneycbb.bsky.social. It’s one of the most competitive games of jeopardy I can remember, which means you gotta stick around the whole time youtu.be/Aa6ZzIyRavI
Golf is a profoundly unfulfilling endeavor and one of the best golfers of all time agrees 👍
As someone who used to play golf twice a weekend and got so frustrated after a round he sold his clubs on Craigslist the next day and has refused to play since, I have gained a powerful ally in Scottie Scheffler
