@Rex_Beyers Noise and goofballs are still around, not as annoying. I'm sitting in a reserved table next to 2 guys who flew in from Florida, they gave up on the Vegas scene several years ago. The guy I've watched games with for 30 years came up with COVID two days ago, extremely bad timing.

@ComptrBob Wow, you've got it better up there than we do down here if you don't mind solace, silence and sweating by yourself. Sometimes I love the crowd, roaring, rooting mostly against me. Others (like today), I would LOVE to be up there.

Hello, @JefferyBenson12 the view from Circa Sports at Legends Bay Casino in Sparks, NV. Mitch and crew are sensational, not as fancy as Vegas but perhaps just as much fun. LOL

@FezzikSports For a weird comparison, in 1998 Kansas was a 42-point favorite over Prairie View, ML was -6000. Kansas won 110-52. This year against Florida, they are 35.5 dogs, ML Florida is -40000 at Circa.

We can fund the TSA. We can fund FEMA. We can fund CISA. We can fund the Coast Guard. Then we can talk through our differences on reining in the tactics of ICE and CBP to better protect Americans. I hope my colleagues support this approach the next time it comes up for a vote.

@AlPawlowski Get used to it, NIL has made it even more unbalanced. You get an occasional upset, but Mid-majors last year went 6-15 SU in the NCAA tourney against the power 4 according to Grok.

Anyone else want to try and make the argument a 30-win team doesn’t belong in the NCAA Tournament because of a rating system that is built to favor the P4 conferences? The fact Miami was forced to play in a play-in game was a joke. The bias against the mid-majors is absurd.

Let’s get this out of the way now. Miami (OH) belonged in the NCAA Tournament even if it… Loses by 1 Loses by 10 Loses by 20+ The result of this game as well as every other game has zero effect on whether or not a team should have been included.

@DarrigoMelanie Ridiculous. Without an actual citizenship check, it's just made-up garbage to try to grab a headline. Heritage Foundation spews total crap.

Only 10 undocumented immigrants have successfully cast ballots over the last 25 years. There are more Trump allies in the Epstein files than there are undocumented immigrants voting. The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression bill that protects Trump and his Epstein allies.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz

Democrats are trying to stop the SAVE America Act because they want illegal aliens to vote for them. That’s bad for America. We need to pass the SAVE America Act.

Utah reviewed 2 MILLION voter registrations. Found 1 non-citizen registered. Zero non-citizen votes cast. The "problem" the SAVE Act is solving doesn't exist. The voters it would block absolutely do. #SAVEActIsPayToVote

@WalshFreedom I paid with my FICA taxes for Social Security and Medicare. OTOH, Medicaid is welfare, eliminate it.

Utter bullshit. A race-baiting, fear-mongering, xenophobic lie. The primary driver of our debt is Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid - paying for retirement & health care for the American people who are living longer & longer is the primary cause of our debt. There’s not even a close second. But team Trump would rather lie and blame brown & black immigrants.

Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

@alexj_421 @Aaron_Bracy @ESPNLunardi I would say his pick of Idaho as a 16 seed play-in versus what was a strong 15 seed is his most glaring misstep. The Utah State pick at a 7 should have been at most a n 8.

Here’s how Joe Lunardi did with his final bracket compared to the actual bracket: FIELD:  68/68 AT-LARGE:  37/37 SEED (exact):  57/68 * SEED (+/- 1):  67/68 * * personal best(s) I know Joe is good at this, but that is just wild. 👏 @ESPNLunardi

@NickViaNyte Moraga, CA (St. Mary's) is about 65 miles from Davis, CA. Not an overwhelming difference.

Was St. Mary’s ever offered to come to MW for basketball? I feel like that was the move to make over UC Davis. I’ve always thought the “maintain or expand locality footprint” rationale was nonsense.

@trentriker @GoodZibes Since 1989, only one team worse than a 4 seed has won the tourney. It's always been about crowning the top seeds.

Trent Riker@trentriker·
@GoodZibes Yes. Tournament needs expanding, unless you like watching the Power 4 invitational every year. Before conference realignment I’d say never expand. And…even if you do get in, your going to the first four as an 11 seed, or a 9 seed if you have 25 plus wins and great metrics.

Here’s some Data, for those looking for an objective answer. It’s Average NET Finish per team (since 2018/19) New PAC12: 90 PAC5 leaving MWC: 78. MWC, if no change : 127. MWC6 Left behind: 168. This is all before the PAC schools all will get a bump by playing Gonzaga and other tougher competition nearly every game The New PAC12 is nothing like the old MW. The difference between the two leagues about the same as the Ivy League and the A10.

Democrats have asked immigration agents to take their masks off and abide by the rules outlined in our Constitution. But Republicans shut down the Department of Homeland Security to block these common sense measures.

A big part of not wanting the 8/9 seeds comes from the difficulty of making it past the second round since you have to face a 1 seed 99.9% of the time. Based on historical win percentages, the odds of making it to the Sweet 16 and beyond are actually higher for 10, 11 and 12 seeds than for 8 and 9 seeds. In the 64+ team era of the NCAA, 8/9 seeds are 22-136 against 1 seeds. Since 2010, there have been 10 upsets by an 8/9 over a 1 seed, which is an average of 0.7 per tournament. We've also not had an 8/9 upset of a 1 seed in either of the last two tournaments, so you might say we're due.

Video from the Utah State press conference after the announcement that they'll be a 9 seed taking on 8 seed Villanova. Quotable from Jerrod Calhoun, said his team getting a 9 seed was "absolutely atrocious"

@ComptrBob No, but there is noticable difference between 10.0%, 5.0% and 15.0%, 16.9% and 13.8%, which is a more accurate reflection of the odds of making it as an 8 or 9 seed and how often the 10, 11, and 12 seeds make it.
