#23 @UWSoftball (19-6, 3-0 B1G) looks to keep rolling, carrying a 9-game win streak into a second straight home series, facing Maryland (12-11, 1-2). All games on BTN+. Tentative schedule: Fri, 6pm (I don't think is gonna happen) Sat, 3pm Sun, 1pm

@TomFornelli I feel like the late games (especially on Thursday?) are usually lopsided. Maybe just confirmation bias tho

Late window is blowout city.

@GrahamCoffeyDC probably should've hoped for the game getting cancelled

Georgia vs Saint Louis trending towards a 10:15 EST tip-off (if we’re lucky)

@EvanMiya Serious Q: How rare is seeing an Avalanche and a separate killshot in the same game? Especially in what was billed as roughly a 50/50 matchup

Going back to the first half, it's a 23-0 run for Saint Louis. An insane "Avalanche" for the Bilikens.

@ChuckNatty2 @SickosCommittee That *is* the cool thing happening right now. An SEC school getting by pasted by 30 points

@SickosCommittee Is something cool happening rn? Too busy dying on the inside atm

*taps sign*

@MitchMacca25 @BookitWithTrent no he needs to keep going so we can fade

@BookitWithTrent Honestly Trent take a knee and come back for round of 16. Just leave the games tomorrow alone

this one’s fuckin wraps already bro i’m so done

@EvanMiya SLU killshot!

@mid_madness you watching Buffalo?

@wilnerhotline so do teams with byes just start scrimmaging each other?

Harm from rust > benefits of rest True in the CFP as well

@johncgillon In many years, a majority of R1/R2 games are in places that don't align with the region at all. This year I'd say it's just 5 out of 16 pairs that look weird Midwest in Buffalo Midwest in Tampa East in San Diego Midwest in Philly West in St Louis

@johncgillon Common misconception: regions just mean where Sweet 16/Elite Eight are played. R1/R2 are assigned separately. Today's R1 games are mostly surprisingly logical fits, but tomorrow includes Midwest in Tampa, St Louis in West, and San Diego in East

Why is the Midwest region playing a game in Buffalo 💀

@tarheelanalyst how's it going, bud

I was told VCU would end it for the Tar Heels.

@AJTarHeel247 the BRAND failed to win the game

Henri keeps screaming at VCU about what they said yesterday about not playing the brand – “brand” has been a word of fuel for the Heels tonight. Henri just walked to the bench screaming and showing the brand.

@TomFornelli Went against UNC in a big moment; good call

That's a weak call on Trimble.

@UWSoftball Ryan Maddox with a bat?

@KimDoss71 as my resident Big 12 WBB expert, do you have any idea why 6-seed Baylor is a slight underdog against a Nebraska team that barely squeaked into the tournament?

@BradyVernon The obsession with you (and Texas Tech) is pretty disturbing. Congrats on being a similar level of important as a team tho

I don’t know what I said nor where I said it, but this account really doesn’t like me.

@mlb_simulator to me it's just odd because I think of BABIP as the most luck-dependent stat out there, but that's probably mostly when dealing with small samples.

@ByEdStrong For sure. K% is one of the most stable stats YoY but it tells you almost nothing about how productive a hitter will be. Judge strikes out mid 20% while plenty of low-K% guys are below average

Which hitting metric best predicts next-year's performance? I tested 11 metrics across 801 player-seasons (2022-2025, 200 PA min) to see which one best correlates with next-year's wOBA. Est. Bases / PA (EB/PA) came out on top at r = 0.53, ahead of OPS (0.46), wOBA itself (0.46), and SLG (0.43). EB/PA measures what each plate appearance is worth based on how hard and where a player hits the ball, plus their walks and strikeouts. Bayesian shrinkage filters out small-sample noise. #MLB #Bayes

@cookpinky7024 @SoftbalAmerica I know, that's my point. They highlight matchups that are supposed to be close. Unless your team struggles, I don't think that series will be close. Why highlight something that's probably not going to be a close series?

@ByEdStrong @SoftbalAmerica Softball America doesn't! They didn't list it in "the games to watch" this weekend!

The Top-10 battle between Tennessee and Florida leads off our lineup card, but plenty of top matchups across the Power Four conferences and a Conference USA tilt. 🔗 on3.com/softball/news/…
