O-ish G in these parts after the supervillain took over the old place, talking college basketball and soccer mostly. CT raised, currently in VT. Tried to save democracy once, but that didn't go so well.

Top-seeded Bethune Cookman goes down to Prairie View in the SWAC quarterfinals after going ice cold down the stretch.

Coach Theus' squad very disappointed:

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Siena AD disputes NCAA conclusion that Saints made 'institutional mistake' allowing Antonio Chandler to play In fact, this was Chandler's fourth full season of NCAA basketball. He played two years at Division II Franklin Pierce in 2019-20 and 2022-23. He also played last season at Southern Connecticut.

Should be pointed out that big reason for this is Antonio Chandler mysteriously being ruled ineligible on the eve of the MAAC Tourney. Worth keeping an eye on, as I'm sure Merrimack is asking, if he was supposed to be ineligible all season, how can they play in the NCAA Tournament?

Barring a world pandemic or something (I mean what are the chances of that, right, @jerrybeach73.bsky.social ?), Hofstra will play in its first NCAA Tournament since 2001 under Jay Wright next week and should slot in as a No. 14 seed or so, potentially dangerous.

This happened once in the NCAA Tournament when I was in Dayton, but I was assured CBS would get the requisite ads in.

While you were sleeping, Santa Clara removed any doubt they will be in the NCAA Tournament and should avoid Dayton.

Hofstra one game away from breaking the Curse of 2020 behind Preston Edmead and Cruz Davis, who once had a 12- game stretch this season sitting out for 1 minute. Total.

Monmouth-Hofstra in the CAA final. Someone tell @jerrybeach73.bsky.social he can open his eyes.

What happened the last time Furman made the NCAA Tournament, you asked? Wait, you didn't.

Georgia Southern comes up short, but good for Troy and Scott Cross, who continues to play his decade-long Count of Monte Cristo like revenge on UT Arlington for one of the worst coaching firings this century.

Amazingly, Towson's Pat Skerry is also in his 15th season without going to the NCAA Tournament, so would be quite the final.

Rice was hired on 3/29/2011.

Skerry on 4/5/2011.

King Rice's 15th season at Monmouth and he has never been to the Big Dance, which has to be the longest streak among active coaches? (Even though he got robbed once.) @kenpom.com @norlander.bsky.social

He will get a chance to end it tomorrow night in the CAA final.
