Big Time appreciation: VCU coach Phil Martelli Jr. sends out major props to his school’s student media that have followed the team all year. He said those students don’t get paid to cover VCU but show up every time & have a positive impact on the team & school. 👏

@arhooptalk That 1968 UCLA rout was revenge for an earlier season meeting with Houston in which Elvin Hayes had 39 points & 15 rebounds in a 71-69 win over UCLA & Lew Alcindor, who played with an eye injury & only had 15 points (4 of 18 FGs). The Cougars’ win ended UCLA’s 47-game win streak.

@jrichardgoodman A fun watch as High Point never stopped attacking & got some huge clutch baskets from Chase Johnston, including the game winner. A motivational game to remember for all of the lower seeds left in the NCAA tournament. #MarchMadness #LifetimeMemories

Upset City! 12 seed High Point 83, 5 seed Wisconsin. It was High Point’s first win ever in the NCAA tournament. Rob Martin led High Point (31-4) with 23 points. Nick Boyd led Wisconsin (24-11) with 27 points.

@jrichardgoodman Agree — and the quality of the shot is often determined by the quality of the pass.

@jrichardgoodman The most impressive part of Caitlin’s game when I first watched her play in college was her elite passing. You knew if her teammates ran the floor, she’d find them for easy baskets. Of course, she can really shoot it & plays hard on D. But her passing is at a world-class level.

@arhooptalk Andy — Although I interviewed some NBA greats as a sportswriter in Hawaii, the 3 guys that I would have liked to have had a 3-hour lunch with & listened to their incredible stories would be the late greats Jerry West, Pete Maravich & Bill Walton. Old guys have the best stories.

@ClintParks05 @TeamCPSA Layden’s father, Lawrence, is on the impressive list of great Kohala High basketball players. Lawrence was a terrific athlete & deadly shooter & fit in well with the Cowboys’ running & pressing teams. The Kaukas — a talented family. UH-Hilo has a rising star in its program.

Layden spent 2 years with us @TeamCPSA hard worker, talented , and comes from a great family.

@jgd0634 I agree with you & Robert Parrish — that the 1986 Celtics would be too big, too talented & too physical for Jayson Tatum, Jalen Brown & the 2024 Celtics. And I’m confident that 6-foot-4 Dennis Johnson would make it a tough series while guarding & hounding either Tatum or Brown.
English
The 2024 team doesn't have an answer for Robert Parish either lol
They should be compared with the 08' team (who they still can't match up with) before jumping the gun
Justin Turpin@JustinmTurpin
Robert Parish was asked who would win between the 2024 Celtics and the 1986 Celtics. His answer was the ‘86 Celtics because nobody had an answer for Bill Walton. “The NBA didn’t have an answer for Bill Walton. That’s why we were successful and that’s why we are considered one of the all-time best teams.”
