@dirkchatelain I mean, they actually got beaten by UConn, so that might have been a bigger challenge, but what do I know …

Just as everyone suspected, Duke’s biggest challenge en route to the Final Four was Siena.

@John_Fanta Ryan Kalkbrenner effect, @John_Fanta

The Charlotte Hornets are fun. The Charlotte Hornets are for real. The Charlotte Hornets believe. And The Hive is absolutely electric. That was some kind of statement making win. A joy to be here for it.

@CUCretin It’s because Big East fans actually understand the sport. The in-state program is unaware of anything outside of this single greatest season in program history and thinks it reflects more than a one year anomaly.

It’s kind of heartening that the response to Mac’s retirement from our in-state opponent has been vitriol and derision, but our Big East rivals have largely given him his flowers. This is a special conference, man. United by hate. This is the place to be, and he took us here.

@McvinuaBrenda @ByJonWalker @BluejayBuff Pretty sure there is zero chance anyone who was recruited in the last year was unaware that Huss was going to be the guy … //shrug// It has been very well known by anyone remotely aware of Creighton hoops.

@DLReal @ByJonWalker @BluejayBuff Pretty sure they were under the impression they would have a year with the guy that recruited them to Creighton!

Despite the coaching change, Creighton commit Katrelle Harmon is locked in for 2026-27, I’m told. He’s sticking with the Jays through the transition from Greg McDermott to Alan Huss.

@HuskerHC Would it be more or less funny if your post was false? Because Greg wasn't "fired at ISU."

@John_Fanta The fact that you only get two even if you are right on both is crazy too. You pay for pointing out official errors.

The Ben McCollum challenge does make me think - what if he doesn’t have a timeout? Refs are human. Mistakes happen. They’d have no way of being able to go to monitor on a call like that. You should be able to challenge that with no TOs and if you lose it’s 1 free throw and ball.

@Marghareti72 So many just blatantly wrong calls or non calls this weekend. For the gravity of the NCAAT the officiating has been garbage.

I don't care if you don't have a view that shows a gap between the ball and his hand- the ball clearly did not change spin. They stared at it for as long as they could to justify uncertainty Awful

That's criminal

@MattNorlander Had to overcome investigatable corrupt officiating.

@SethDavisHoops Allowed by an all time criminally bad officiating.

Great follow by Rosario! Down to three!

@mjdemarinis These are mostly people who declared the sport ruined when NIL and transfer ability was started. So they have to manifest that it really is or they don't know who they are anymore. Reality doesn't really matter.

Texas-NC State Duke-Siena Gonzaga-Kennesaw State TCU-Ohio State VCU-UNC Vandy-McNeese High Point-Wisconsin Virginia-Wright State Kentucky-Santa Clara The environments in Dayton and OKC Are blue checks watching a different NCAA Tournament?

@SethDavisHoops Those aren't even upsets. The 8-9 is always just a coin toss. Realistically, they should just call both teams the 8.5 seed and quit trying to decide one is slightly higher seeded than the other.

9 seeds went 4-0 in the first round

@HolyLandofHoops Tough to win an NCAA tournament game when you commit so many fouls …

Tough to win an NCAA tournament game when the opponent shoots 20+ more free throws than you.

This is Big East Basketball.

@MSottileTV @ByJonWalker Awesome!

@ByJonWalker @DLReal Mr. Real, do with it what you will.

Steven Ashworth dagger. Steph Curry celly. Goodnight, folks.
