@danorlovsky7 People often forget that you share representation with Ty Simpson, which is why you’re probably being paid for this silly crusade you’re on
BREAKING: Arizona State is finalizing a five-year deal with Saint Mary's Randy Bennett to make him the Sun Devils' next head coach, sources told me and @PeteThamel. Bennett is an Arizona native who has led Saint Mary's to 12 NCAA tournament appearances since taking over in 2001.
Sources: Arizona State is closing in on hiring Saint Mary's Randy Bennett as its next head basketball coach.
The two sides are now working through the final terms of an agreement that would make Bennett the Sun Devils' next head coach.
Am I crazy here?
This is how Knockout has been played since Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891.
Is this an electable offense? It would’ve gone in the hoop if Doitche’s ball wasn’t there!
Iowa is heading to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999.
What an absolutely incredible job done by Ben McCollum in year one. Then again, the man wins everywhere he goes. The Hawkeyes just took out the reigning national champions. Alvaro Folgueiras becomes an Iowa legend!
@slmandel Obviously NIL plays a predominant role in this, but I think the committee's use of predictive metrics like @kenpomeroy and @totally_t_bomb in seeding teams means that you won't have a 12-seed quality team seeded as a 13 or 14 anymore
Well, this is not an encouraging trend for Cinderellas. ...
The NCAA tournament went to 64 teams in 1985. Only 7 times have the 13-14-15 seeds all gone winless in the first round.
It's now happened two years in a row (for the first time).
Unreal scenes in St. Louis. All-time tournament sequence. Not sure how you get over that if you’re Santa Clara, especially after a 30 year wait.
Kentucky advances.
@MedcalfByESPN@PeteThamel I met Coach Taylor as a kid at a basketball camp in the late 90s when he was an assistant at Northern Illinois with Brian Hammel. He was a great guy and coach, and loved freeze pops as much as the 7-10 year olds he was working with. Hope he kicks ass with this!

@albertovm@BenVerlander Agree with some of your points, but look at the officials in the Olympic hockey tournament…most were from Canada/US including those who officiated the Gold Medal match
@BenVerlander This could be much greater when the WBC does not accept fake teams like Italy-USA-B (only one player born in Italy), and referees only from the USA, even in USA games. This is not acceptable in any serious international tournament. This will keep baseball out of Olympic Games. 😬
Of cities with the four big sports franchises, is the NHL top two in any city? Most cared about?
Of cities with three big sports franchises, is the NHL dead last in all of them? Most cared about
My co-worker swears that no hockey franchise is cared about more than NFL, NBA, MLB
Tomorrow on @StoolAfterDark

JUST IN: Jeff Capel will return to Pitt next season, a source confirmed to CBS Sports. It was trending this way this week. Capel would've been owed more than $12 million if fired this season. He'll be back for a ninth year. Has one NCAAT trip in the past eight with the Panthers.
@ESPNLunardi You had Miami (OH) as an 11 this morning. Your "Last Four Byes" were on the 10 and 11 lines. Miami (OH) takes a bad loss (Q3 at best, potentially Q4), and lands ahead of those teams? Are they a 10 now? Please explain.
