One of the most satisfying wins ever. Hated that fanbase. Nothing but paid actors.
Tide Hoops History@BamaHistory
Two years ago today the historic march to its first Final Four for @AlabamaMBB almost hit a potential roadblock in Spokane on March 24, 2024, but instead became a defining moment of perseverance. Facing No. 12-seeded Grand Canyon in the Round of 32, the Crimson Tide found itself in a fight. Despite building a double-digit lead in the second half, Alabama watched it slip away as the Lopes surged ahead with just over six minutes remaining, threatening to end the Crimson Tide’s season much earlier than expected. That’s when Alabama responded like a team destined for more. From that point forward, the Crimson Tide slammed the door shut with a dominant 17-3 run, including 10 unanswered points to seize control and secure a 72-61 victory. The fight revealed the toughness and composure of a group that would make program history just weeks later. Mark Sears recorded his first double-double with 26 points and 12 rebounds while adding six assists and three steals. @GriffenRylan chipped in 13 first-half points, while @AEforthree had eight points, 10 rebounds, six assists and four steals in a gritty, all-around effort. After the game, @nate_oats called it a “character win,” praising his team’s ability to push through adversity, foul trouble and frustration. Alabama advanced to its 10th Sweet 16 in program history and third in four years, and more importantly, proved it had the mental toughness to survive and advance. Instead of a Grand Canyon sized roadblock, the second-half rally became a launchpad for the Crimson Tide’s unforgettable run to the 2024 Final Four.

@UnimpressedTX Meaningless euphemisms are necessary because it was a hoax.

Mueller documents 140+ instances of the Trump campaign playing footsies with a hostile foreign power who was trying to influence our elections, then Trump personally obstructed that investigation.
The reputations of everyone who portrayed Trump as victim are the ones tarnished.

@avidseries @mehdirhasan How do you define "religiously motivated violence?" Because the U.S. government is constantly acting from a religious or quasi-religious motivation.
English
John Cleese is a perfect example of Dunning Kruger. Spends all his day tweeting incessantly about the evils of Islam, misquoting the Quran, attacking Sadiq Khan, and making points about comparative religion that are demonstrably wrong. Buddhist extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to Burma. Hindu extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to India. Catholic extremists don't kill their religious enemies? Go to Northern Ireland.
FFS.
John Cleese@JohnCleese
Does this silly little man not understand that Islam is a very aggressive belief system, threatening death to anyone who does not convert to Islam The Buddhists, the Taoists, the Scottish Presbyterians, the Hindus and the Sikhs and the Confucians and the Catholics don't go around shouting about beheading people they disagree with Is this too much for your tiny little brain to take in ? Oh. The doorbell rang. The police I assume...

@avidseries @mehdirhasan You could say the entire war of terror was just Christian’s killing Muslims

@Aubie67 @KevinScarbinsky @AlabamaMBB Lol, thanks for the total non sequitur, you filthy boog. Please tell me Auburn didn't give you a degree.

Not that another @AlabamaMBB Sweet 16 trip needed a subplot, but guess where Michigan's best player used to play and its coach used to work. Where else but UAB.

@WilliamShatner Did you kiss a dude or something? Not seeing the "woke DEI" component here.
English
During the first airing of my Star Trek series where a kiss was objectionable; many southern stations pulled the episode & condemned the show. Using today’s vernacular it would absolutely be called“woke DEI crap”because it went against “norms” of society for its time. Not a lot seems to have changed.🤷🏼😑

@Aubie67 @KevinScarbinsky @AlabamaMBB Congrats on the NIT.
P.S. Nate now has two more tourney wins than Fat Bruce in 4 fewer seasons.

@KevinScarbinsky @AlabamaMBB No one gives a flying shit about UAB. Epitome of trying to make fetch happen.

Huge fan of Chinyelu ... I'll take guys who care this much on my team all day ... had a rough game, but what a season he had. Better days ahead.
Jeff Dubrof@JeffDubrofTV
In the stunner of all stunners Florida's season is done. A 73-72 loss to Iowa and postgame a very emotional Rueben Chinyelu fights through tears to talk about the love he has for everyone on the team. @WFLA

Auburn is currently the odds on favorite to win the NIT.

Game on the line... which of these Alabama All-Americans are you giving the ball to?

@TheCinesthetic My Dad, very very white man, said it was the best story about music he had ever seen
My Dad was a folk/blues musician.

@RefObserver17 Lol you think he attempted to punch Condon but simply missed? 😂
English
In my opinion, this should have resulted in an ejection on Iowa. Just because someone plans a crime, but is unsuccessful, are they let go?
This is a clear strike attempt, with a closed fist. I think the rulebook would support an ejection here imo.

@buddyshow Haha, you think he *intended* to hit Condon and missed?
English
Yeah but he took a swing and even if it didn’t land the intent was there and he should have been ejected.
No3 Sports@No3sports
Should the Iowa player have been ejected?

@BarackObama Lol, you lied through your teeth and wrecked our health care system
English
The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.
The ACA also prevented insurance companies from denying people with pre-existing conditions coverage, allowed young people under the age of 26 to remain on their parents’ plan, expanded Medicaid, and so much more.
But the ACA was always meant to be a first step. We still have to do more to expand access and make health care more affordable for everyone.

Glad you went public to attempt to dunk on people complimenting Alabama athletes this time! Much braver than going private like you did during the Olympics.

I didn't know reporters could sit up on the podium next to the coach. I'll do that next time. (This is very obviously the NCAA-employed press conference moderator whose job it is to be hospitable to coaches)
English
@SethDavisHoops Exactly. Incredible how many people need this explained.
English
My interpretation was that Folgueiras was trying to punch the ball. If he tried to punch Condon he would have connected because he was lying on top of him. It was up to the refs to determine whether he made enough contact with Condon to warrant an ejection, and apparently they did not.
Noah Bieniek (Bee-Nick)@NoahB77_
In the postgame presser Florida Coach Todd Golden said the officials told him that Alvaro threw a punch but since it didn’t connect, there wasn’t validation for an ejection. Folgeuiras would go on to hit the game winning shot and be Iowa’s second leading scorer in the game

@RazDazBraz11 @dtl5g @JipperCones @CBBKings I've seen it several times - but let's be honest: UF getting knocked off along with the supposed "punch" is taking up all the oxygen. Nobody really gives a shit about UT.

@dtl5g @JipperCones @ChuckEWeiss @CBBKings If it was clearly a poor call it would be all over social media and news outlets today.
