This is nice.

@AustinMerwin3 About 11:30 I think.

@Graham_Couch when do they typically announce times?

This is a political trick of identifying a nebulous problem (mid major scheduling) then pushing a solution that doesn’t directly address it while ignoring other, less disruptive, ways that would. If they had a good reason to expand they’d say it.

@SpartanHoops_DK Nasty first-round matchup. Teams with the size NIL budget High Point has shouldn't be 12 seeds.

WI March woes continue. WOOF. Perennial top 5 conference team and just can’t shake the tourney choke allegations. Brutal. Legit feel bad for Gard and the fanbase. Excitement and hope and then misery every year.

ONTO THE ROUND OF 32 ⏩

Who doesn't like an ambulance as a backdrop? That's what we thought. Here are 7-plus minutes of the sharpest, most concise, intellectual MSU basketball analysis you'll ever see, after the Spartans' NCAA tournament win over North Dakota State. Enjoy. lansingstatejournal.com/videos/sports/…

“Looks pretty obvious to me that high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we ain’t played nobody—we played somebody now. Nobody would play us. just like nobody would play Miami Ohio. But they gotta play us in this tournament.” 🗣️🗣️

@Sheehan_Sports High Point has better NIL. He’s following the money. You’re following your Big Ten heart.

Had Wisconsin in the Sweet Sixteen. My five-year-old has High Point winning the whole thing. He is now the man of the house.

Hello again. We’re looking at about a 4:24 tipoff for MSU and North Dakota State here in Buffalo.

@mpruitt6188 About 4:24

Do we have an official tip time yet @Graham_Couch

@Sheehan_Sports Eat 2 pounds of hamburger. Then you'll have the meat sweats and won't know the difference. Don't know if it solves any problems (or creates them), but you'll feel different.

Got the shakes and the sweats. Still have to wait four and a half hours for this game to start. Life is pain.

Well this is less than ideal.
