Of course, no “tampering,” no “poaching”…just coincidence LSU fired its coach and hired NC State’s within minutes. The USF coach warned other programs to “stay away from my players.” Then, HE was gone…so, nobody had to stay away from HIM. The double standard is laughable. Let’s stop complaining about player choice when coaches leave at the first chance for a better situation for themselves.

Predictions for Sweet 16

Will Wade is heading back to LSU. We know how he'll spin it, but let's call it for what it is -- he isn't built for the "tough neighborhood". We'll be live on YouTube at 2pm. You know the OG Sports Phone will be lit. linktr.ee/ogtrianglemedia

On this day in 2006, George Mason pulled off the upset over UConn to advance to the #MFinalFour 🔥 #MarchMadness

On this day in 1973, the legendary Bill Walton had a performance for the record books 🙌 His 44 points on 21-22 FG won @UCLAMBB another title 🏆 Missing you every day, Bill 💙 #MarchMadness

@MattGrossenbach I genuinely don’t get what you don’t understand? You’re comparing college players to playing in the nba but comparing college coaches to college coaches. That itself is a logical fallacy.

I will never understand the argument “well coaches get to leave whenever they want so why can’t the players?” If you don’t see a difference between the career/profession side and the college athlete side then I don’t really know how to discuss that topic with you.

I’ve been saying this.

@NoFilm_Analysis it’s apples and oranges across the board generally.

Drops don’t actually matter in wide receiver evaluation. It has essentially 0 correlation to NFL success. There isn’t a single elite receiver in the NFL that has a sub-5% drop rate in college. ———————————— Player (Career Drop Rate in College) Puka Nacua (8.5%) Ja’Marr Chase (7.8%) Justin Jefferson (7.3%) Malik Nabers (7.3%) Garrett Wilson (7.1%) Zay Flowere (10.4%) Brian Thomas Jr. (9.3%) Jordan Addison (9.5%) DK Metcalf (9.5%) ———————————— Then you get to the actual translatability of the stat itself and it gets more muddy George Pickens had the best drop rate in college of any 1,000+ yard receiver of the last decade at 2.2%. He’s actually struggled with drops in the NFL with a 7% drop rate including a season with a 12% drop rate in 2024. CeeDee Lamb has 4 seasons with a drop rate >9% in the NFL after having 0 in college. Hasn’t kept him from being great. In fact, Amon-Ra had a higher drop rate in college than Lamb, but his drop rate in the NFL is 3% compared to Lamb’s 7.6%. If Concepcion struggles to translate to the NFL, it will have nothing to do with his high drop rate.

😭

Bill Self has seemed burnt out for a bit now. This season may have been the straw that broke the camels back.

The first weekend of the NCAAT may have been short on upsets, but it wasn’t short on drama. @matthewwinick & I look back at everything from the first two rounds before previewing EVERY Sweet 16 showdown on today’s Weekend Under Review at @basket_review: youtu.be/9tARmETSZkk?si…

Iowa!!

St. John’s and Kansas

@ThePurpleBizon This never gets old.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 That is priceless

@BBall_Logician @TheNatural_05 @EASPORTS @2K Fix that stupid shot tendency glitch too. Better cpu generated recruit logic, cpu actually using their time outs realistically, better AI logic handling the press.

@TheNatural_05 @EASPORTS @2K Fully customizable conference realignment. More customizable game sliders, options & etc. More in depth game records. Cut down on the fluff (soundtrack, in game arcade & other useless items). A bigger, deeper & more customizable version of 2K8 with updated graphics of course.

We need a college basketball video game asap

Me to myself when I’m filling out March madness brackets.

I miss this so much

@MeeksKnowsBall That’s the good ole slow mo double take step back jumper.

I don’t know what this move is from Jasper Johnson, but he needs to retire this one from here on out😭😭

Congratulations!!!!! @smcHoops_ @NCAADIII @CollSports24_7 @swopesathletic1 @Uorangemen2

High Point beat a really good Big Ten team and is going punch for punch with SEC Tournament Winners. Maybe there are still good teams everywhere and expanding to include more mediocre Power 6 teams is not what makes this tournament so special.
