Quote: GenoDRPhQuote: SOOPOOLebron James, the GOAT of basketball, at age 39 just had a 36/20/12 game. How many 30/20/10 games did Michael Jordan have in his entire career? That would be zero.
Rings with 3 different teams.
Please don’t give me a count of championships to determine GOAT in a team sport. Unless you think Robert Horry is the GOAT.
I watched MJ in his prime. He was an unbelievable scorer. Great defender. Clutch personified. Second best player of all time.

Who would you rather have leadn your team. Lebron with 4 rings or Bill Russell with 11? And spare us the "Robert Horry" excuse.

I am old enough to have watched Russell. GREAT one dimensional player surrounded by GREAT multidimensional players. Trying to say he’s as good as Lebron is just silly. But feel free to be silly.

Zach Edey - 7'4" - 30 points and 21 rebounds as Purdue crushes Grambling
he's way, way too much for college boys - I don't even think NBA pros can handle him
the well known basketball powerhouse GRAND CANYON plays Alabama next______________:)
.
It’s all about the defensive 3 seconds rule (not a rule on FIBA or college) combined with most NBA players being able to shoot 3’s well now. They’ll make him play some defense on the perimeter any time he’s on the floor, and he’s likely simply not capable of moving his feet well enough to survive.
He also has more turnovers than assists in college, which he’s capable of improving, and it has to if he’s gonna make it.
what odds would you put on GRAND CANYON to win it all____________?
more than 1000/1_________?__________:)
they easily took care of Saint Mary's (3900 students) in the first round
.
on the women's side Audie Crooks - a very large 6'3" freshman for Iowa State is crushing
she got 40 as her team beat Maryland
her game is in the paint - she barely jumps when she scores - no more than one inch off of the floor
she's able to keep defenders away due to her size
and yes, there are some women who can dunk - she isn't one of them
.

So far all of the 1 and 2 seeds have survived and have looked a cut above the field. Looking ahead, the Elite Eight round is shaping up as awesome.

Probability of hate crimes or other nasty behavior from fans has to be increased due to the nature of how NCAA women’s tournament schedules the first two rounds. Women’s tournament, unlike men’s, the first two rounds are not held at a neutral site, they’re played at the home site of the top 16 seeded teams. What could ever go wrong with that….

Cord’elain is not rural. About 98%+ probability the people harassing them can’t afford to live in Cord’elaine and are from rural Idaho or Washington though. Fair to say there’s probably multiple factors involved. Twin Falls and Cord’elaine not really any different than Spokane culturally it’s all the spokane metro. I will not accept a statement as fact that women’s basketball fans are somehow categorically better human beings than men’s basketball fans though.
Sounds as though Spokane is just not a suitable site to hold both men’s and women’s regionals simultaneously period, it’s just not big enough and was a poor choice.

Lehman is a City University of NY (CUNY) College 4-year school of 14,000 students located in the Bronx. Their Women's basketball coach has been there for 18 years and he has a lifetime winning record. Their Women's BB team are in the CUNY Athletic Conference (a Division III NCAA conference) and finished the season with a 7-19 record, losing their last game 77-56. Their epic loss to Fairfield was the first game of the season for both schools.
This is Fairfield Univ. in Connecticut; enrollment is 5,000. It was founded by Jesuit Catholics and remains a private Catholic college.
This year's Fairfield Women's BB team finished the season 31-2 (20-0 in the Metro Athletic Conference, a Division I NCAA conference) and went to the Women's NCAA Tournament where they lost in the first round to Indiana University. Fairfield's opponents (other than Lehman) never scored less than 42 points in any of the games, so the Lehman game score is definitely an outlier.
So, this was a very good Division 1 school playing their first game of the season against a Division III inner-city college. And it is Women's Basketball -a sport where there can be enormous differences between the best and worst teams.
But it still seems difficult to believe that Lehman managed only 2 points in the first two quarters of play. One can only speculate whether there were other reasons that the Lehman College team was so dysfunctional.

they estimate that because of the changes 50 to 60% of kickoffs will be returned in 2024 compared to only 21% in 2023

The touchback spot is now the 25, not the 35. I love the rule. Watching a kicker just blast it into the end zone is not interesting. It will certainly introduce a new skill set needed by kickers.

Couple more details:
Landing zone is from goal line to the 20.
Kicks that land short of the 20 are treated as a kick out of bounds.
Touchback from a kick that lands in the landing zone and then goes into the end zone is spotted on the 20.
Touchback from a kick that lands in the end zone is spotted on the 30 as said above.
Any kick through the back of the end zone is a touchback spotted on the 30 no matter where it first landed.
I hate to say it but Illinois is really choking
they've been outscored 30-0 since about 1 minute to go in the half
they've been shooting under 20% from the field
they have only 23 points with 13 minutes left in the game
Illinois was ranked 10th in the U.S. averaging 80 some p.p.g.
really incredible
edit - it took Illinois 15 minutes to finally score 2 points

Illinois scored 14 points total in the game in the 22 minutes when 7'2 shot blocker Donovan Clingan was on the floor! Donovan Castle, their other big NBA prospect, is also known more for his defense at this point.
We may have seen why Terrance Shannon Jr. is still playing in college while he'll turn 24 this summer instead of going pro a couple years ago. Seems like he bum hunts younger, less athletic players and, at least in this case, did not look good when playing against other definite NBA talent.
David Leong had a hunch, but that’s how it is for most sports gamblers. Luck is mistaken for skill, and skill, it is believed, can make you a killing.
On a Saturday morning, Sept. 3, 2016, he and a friend flew to Vegas, scored an 8-ball of coke and checked into a suite at Bally’s. Leong had an $18,000 credit, and it was time to make it rain.
“There is no way USC can beat Alabama,” he remembered thinking as he visited two sportsbooks to spread the wager.
Kicked up with adrenaline and nerves, he didn’t touch the coke. A win would double his bet. A loss would … he pushed the thought away and settled in to watch the game.
The Crimson Tide was slow to score, but by halftime, they were up by two touchdowns. Still, Leong didn’t relax. Nothing’s ever a sure thing.
For almost 10 years, he had lived with these feelings: the highs, the lows and the terrible in-betweens of a compulsive sports gambler. And he knew he wasn’t alone.
Purdue won and Edey was great and that's a big story but Tenn's Dalton Knecht with 37 had one of the greatest games I've ever seen in tourney play
the dude was on fire
another shocker - NC State/Duke - they haven't even totaled 50 points at the half - State has just 21 - it's choke city for both teams
.
That is the first time I ever remember that happening in hockey. I don't know when this rule went into effect but it is interesting.
talk about winning ugly
the NC State/Duke game was the worst played tourney game I've ever seen
just horrible
Duke's Filipowski took a shot that actually went over the top of the backboard
hard to believe State is a Final 4 Team after that game
their D.J. Burns is a completely unique player
6'9" and 275 I don't believe he can jump 10 inches off the floor
but it doesn't matter - he uses that big body to bump and muscle his way in and then has a very soft shooting touch with his left hand
for the season he was well over .500 from the floor
other than Burns State seems to have nothing at all - based on my watching just this game
I would put the odds on State winning it all to be at least 40/1
.
- He led the game in points scored, in rebounds (by a very wide margin), probably in blocked shots and also in number of fouls drawn (fouls by the other team.) Also led in number of foul shots taken.
- I think that if Purdue and almost any other NCAA tourney team were to swap centers (so that Edey was on the other team) that Purdue goes down quickly in the tourney and the other team goes deep. Purdue is not a great team; it has a freakish great player that no one in the country can match up to.
************************************************************************
DJBurns of NC State originally signed with Tennessee but elected to transfer out. Imagine Tennessee's team if they also had DJBurns on their roster.
want to see Connecticut vs Purdue in the championship to see the big man matchup. Clingan is the better defender and fits more cleanly for the pro game, but certainly not the offensive skill of Edey. Doesn't really have a hook shot at all, 7'2 guy should really want to have that over either shoulder, while Edey's is very polished. How they perform against each other could certainly affect draft stock. Alabama vs Purdue would be a very interesting contrast of styles on the other hand. NC St. DJ Burns has a VERY quick spin move for as big and otherwise not fast he is.
Some fun big men in the final four, Bama just going to try to run, run, run and hope it works. Connecticut has the good thing/bad thing that they haven't really been tested at all yet late in a tourney game.

I am shocked. It should not require someone to notice it by eyeballing from above. March Madness courts are custom built and installed. The NCAA should inspect every court after installation. This should include inspecting for surface irregularities and it should include measuring the lines. Every one of them!

No. there is actually a rule that if you pull your goalie in overtime and lose you get zero points. I don't know if that rule has been in since they started the 3 on 3 overtime but I had never seen it happen before.

Good to know. Never heard of that rule.
the NCAA is very unhappy about prop bets involving individual players
some players are being harassed if they underperform
and there is the chance of collusion and criminality if deals are made
some states have already banned prop bets on NCAA games
in 2007 the FBI found that NBA ref Tim Donaghy had been betting on games that he officiated
Donaghy was making bets with the Mob
there were allegations that 2 referees fixed an NBA playoff game
Donaghy went to prison
a book was written about this and it later became a movie
a look back at maybe the greatest NCAA Championship game - 1983
NC State's Derek Wittenburg took a shot and missed it badly - way short
but Lorenzo Charles saw it would be short and dunked it in to get the win by 2 points while Hakeem Olajuwon just stood by and watched
beating Houston - they called that Houston team "Phi Slamma Jamma"
Hakeem "The Dream" had a nightmare that night________:)
Hakeem went on to Hall of Fame greatness and Lo Charles just faded away
but nobody who ever saw that play he made will ever forget him

I didn’t bet it ….. but you could have gotten 5-1 on that happening pre-tourney. I almost get it thinking South Carolina women were a lock and their men’s team had a chance….
As far as the hockey ‘no points if you pull your goalie and lose in OT rule’, that was put in when they established a tie breaker which rewarded an overtime win more than a shootout win.
I talked down N.C. State but actually I would love to see them pull it off -
very improbable but it would be so exciting
they were only 9-11 in their own Conference and were 4-7 away and somehow made it to the Final 4
they've now won 9 in a row
maybe they can pull off some more magic and fell Edey the way they did Hakeem in the 80s
I wouldn't bet on them - but Wow - would I love to see it -

Malachi Flynn, a scrub for the Pistons averaging 5 pts. per game came off the bench yesterday and in 34 minutes put up 50 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals in a losing effort
