Checking out my office for the next five days here in Iowa City. Stat duty for NCAA WBB alongside @MattSchumacker_ and @ROSGO21 starts tonight at 9:00 pm ET on ESPN2 as Arizona State faces Virginia in a first four opening round game and continues through Monday.

Anyone know why @TheAthletic no longer lets you view all the archived stories for a team? Used to be able to read all the articles from a season (or more!) about any one team. Now they cap how far back you can read. Odd. (Admittedly filed under: Nerdy, tech, play-by-play)

Pregame view from the office of two helmets that just belong together regardless of what brings them there. No. 1 Notre Dame men’s lacrosse hosts Michigan at noon ET on ACC Net. Stat duty today with @ShroffPxP and Quint Kessenich.

@howardherman That would be funny, but UMass wouldn’t be seeded that high if they get in

Good sports law read here. Nice to see that all of this can come to a peaceful resolution through unique color schemes because, at least on my end, I immediately recognize which of the three teams the identical “G” is representing.
Michael McCann@McCannSportsLaw

So many people in the sports industry are territorial. Turf battles and big egos often spawn costly litigation. The Green Bay Packers, Grambling State and UGA take a different path with each using a "G" trademark: They smartly negotiated use agreements. sportico.com/law/analysis/2….

@ChrisVannini I know that Saint Louis is in a similar boat after doing one of their games earlier this year.

View from the office… Stanford’s Ebuka Okorie is the ACC’s leading scorer and is on pace to shatter Kenny Anderson’s ACC scoring record for a freshman guard. My last ND men’s basketball game of the year coming your way at 9 pm on ESPNU with Mike Corey and Terrence Oglesby.

If you have any connection whatsoever to collegiate athletics, you need to read this. Agree or disagree, it's a very open assessment of current financial and governmental realities, through the lens of one P4 institution. Kudos to U of L for going on the record with this.

@jimmyconnelly @hockey_east @EdTrefzger @USCHO Should probably also be written into the NCAA rulebook for next year too that such a situation causes a delay of game penalty with a penalty shot option had that been a breakaway and not a 2-on-1.

Good job, @hockey_east commissioner Steve Metcalf! Swift action! @EdTrefzger nearly lost it today on @USCHO Weekend Review. youtube.com/shorts/INCgc-f…

Hockey East has sent out a memo banning "the use of any theatrical lights, dimming, or strobe effects after goals are scored" for the rest of the season. That's efficient work right there. The NCAA committee can deliver the knockout blow this summer. 👍👍

@FightMA01003 @uconnhockeyctl both of your comments make perfect sense. I would be surprised if something is not formally put into the rulebook next year to address this situation where it is a delay of game minor if a team loses a scoring chance due to something like that.

If there is a rule for a penalty on the home team for fans throwing things on the ice (there is) then the refs could have easily called that an unsportsmanlike conduct bench minor (they should have) UMass deserved a penalty there and I don't think anyone would have disagreed
UConn Hockey Central@uconnhockeyctl

Cav on the coaches show called the light malfunction an “Unfortunate Situation” Apparently the refs were upset that they had to blow the play dead but had no choice. There wasn’t a penalty on the play because there isn’t really a rule in the rule book about it according to Cav.

@DeefNasty @CurryHicksSage Not sure what I am missing here. Yes, the team is not doing well, but you have to send a renewal message out at some point and I’m not sure there’s an ideal time to do it. Wondering if it had been planned for weeks waiting for a win that never came so now they have to with 1 left

@CurryHicksSage As someone with a sales background…Decent chance there’s a quota attached to the school year that could be driving this - just a hunch As for the timing and message - I’m fully with you there

A source just sent along this message he got from UMass athletics. Not exactly reading the room in Amherst.

I get asked what does talent stats do? I tell the story with numbers. @ThomBrennamanTV said to @BrianOliver1313 that NC State lives and dies by the three. I give numeric proof that they do. Above or below .380 for the Wolfpack today at Notre Dame? Find out at noon ET on the CW.

@TylerJReidy @CuseWBB @ndwbb @jackrinaldi14 You covered it pretty well off the monitor. I probably would have fed you some first half/second half comparisons with that game. Very tight for 20 before the Irish took charge. My guess is something would have told that game story numerically which is the crux of my job.

When you are passing an announcer notes like this during a game, it’s important to publicly thank the always under recognized folks at ESPN Research (formerly SIG) because there’s no way it can be done on the fly while also stating a game. Quite a performance by Duke tonight.

🤯 Notre Dame MBB has won six straight home games against AP No. 1 teams (seven of you count the coaches poll). Always a special night when No. 1 is in the house. My view from the office for the Irish and Duke at 7 pm ET on ESPN on stat duty alongside @kevinbrown & Cory Alexander

@MikeMonaco_ @BYUBaseball Made my first trip to Provo in September and absolutely loved it, especially around halftime when the setting sun was reflecting off the mountains past Lavelle Edwards Stadium. Have a great game!
