Brad Underwood on making his first Final Four: "I'm gonna get emotional, but I've been doing this 39 years. You dream about this as a kid. I dreamt about doing it at Illinois, when my wife bought Tyler, who was maybe 2, a Brian Cook jersey. It's always been a special place. There's been no other thing for me. This is my dream job."

penny hardaway so filthy his defender inbounded the ball after

@alphaman_111 B And it's not even close.

Which one do you prefer in your company? A) A high-performance person with low trust B) A high-trust person with low performance

@CBSSports Madonna and Child, artist unknown (National Museum in Warsaw), 1800-1850

This is one of the most perfect things the internet has ever created.

@DetroitDrift @RealSkipBayless Good luck with Jared Goff behind a mid OLine with an aggressively-retarded, defensively-minded Head Coach. You're back to the Barry Sanders decades. 7-10, 9-8, 8-9 type of record every fuckin' year.

@RealSkipBayless All these bears fans in here slurping up that gay ass QB 🤣🤣🤣 Using somebody else’s nickname gotta be the weakest shit a mf can do, if he was rly that good he’d have his own original by now 😭

I’m a Caleb Williams fan. But I was a much bigger Iceman Gervin fan, and I’m offended Caleb and Co. are trying to steal George’s all-time great nickname. I unleash on today’s Arena Gridiron 2:30 E.

Ain’t nobody stealing anything. Just one guy is trying to grow his brand and image and one guy is 50 years too late and jealous he didn’t think of that. Should neither of them use the name because Marvel was first to use it or Chuck Liddell?? Keep yelling at clouds skip. -cream

March 26, 2005: “The Comeback.” @IlliniMBB beats Arizona in the Elite 8 in Rosemont. Dick Enberg and @JayBilas on the call.

👀

when she tellin a story and she accidentally reveal a piece of information she lied about a few months ago but you gotta play it cool cause you building the RICO

After Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson called the killing of Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman “senseless violence,” her family releasing a statement, “We acknowledge Mayor Johnson’s statement five days after our daughter, Sheridan's murder and his condolences to our family, as well as his recognition of the work of the Chicago Police Department. But what happened to Sheridan cannot be reduced to a “senseless tragedy,” nor can it be explained in general terms about public safety. Sheridan was our daughter. She was 18 years old. She was doing something entirely normal—walking near her campus with friends. She should be here. This was not random. It was not inevitable. And it cannot be treated as though it were. We appreciate the efforts of law enforcement in making an arrest. But safety is not defined by how quickly a case is solved after the fact. It is defined by whether a young woman like Sheridan is protected in the first place. “Our daughter was not in the wrong place at the wrong time. The system failed her.” “Calling this ‘senseless’ is not enough. There must be a clear and honest accounting of what went wrong.” “We are not interested in rhetoric. We are asking for accountability.” We will not allow Sheridan’s life to be reduced to a talking point or a generalization. We expect leadership that is willing to confront hard truths and ensure that what happened to her does not happen again. We stand ready to engage with the Mayor and any public official willing to approach this with seriousness, transparency, and a commitment to real change.”

And then there’s Messi, who randomly decided to score a Panenka free kick😂

@NarcDecoder @Kevin74767525 Bingo.

@Kevin74767525 I think they gaslight themselves into thinking they are good people and all the evil stuff they do to you and other people they convince themselves you deserve it.

A narcissistic man is often a son with a mother wound. Rejected... or worshipped as the golden child. But the golden child grows up feeling controlled and emasculated. Unhealed, he repeats the cycle with you. You stop being his partner. You become his mother. And the rage he carries for her... gets taken out on you.

🇦🇷🗣️ Messi in the documentary about the reason for his smile when France equalised: “I felt like football was telling me, this cup was not created for me to be its champion. I felt that the 2014 scenario would be repeated and I would be sad, but something inside me told me, ‘Wake up, you fool. This is no longer your dream. It has become the dream of the world.’ And indeed, I stood on my feet again and said, ‘Nothing will stop me.’ Realizing my dream this time”

RIP Sora, you gave us the greatest ai video of all time

Remember when Griezman dropped the most disgusting first touch ever

When someone says they care about you and their actions don’t align with their words, it’s because they love how you make them feel about themselves. They don’t care about you. They like the high you give them. Real, genuine love is selfless and this type of love is selfish, and that’s the difference.

Realizing your girl is like the rest for the first time will kill you a little bit inside

Houston / Illinois (Houston) The undisputed King of the S16 games with the 4th and 6th best teams in KenPom facing off in a quasi-home game for the Cougs in Houston. Also the most fascinating schematic matchup of the Thurs/Fri games As I alluded to in a previous post, I can make a decent argument that Illinois may be the single worst matchup, especially offensively, for a Houston defense that has played exceptionally poor for their standards against top competition (3rd best defense falls to 45th vs T25 teams). If your team possesses any of the following, you are pretty much DOA against the Cougs: Rim reliance, transition reliance, dribble-heavy shot diet, lack of perimeter shooting, poor defensive rebounding, and don't protect the ball offensively Illinois doesn’t fall into ANY of those categories, and actually, they tend to excel in most of them. This iteration of Illinois plays much slower and is happy to entertain a half court, execution-based game. They’re 15th nationally in 3PRate, Top 10 in allowing turnovers offensively, and are even shooting 35% from the arc (which was their issue last year). They also have 3 different guys who can lead/initiate offense to alleviate some of that up-the-line pressure concerns, as well as being the biggest team in the country and an elite 2-way rebounding frontcourt. If you can keep Houston off the offensive glass, prevent them from creating live ball turnovers, and force them to play in the half court, you have as good a chance as anybody to beat that physical juggernaut. Illinois has the best 5-out spacing in the country to stress that Houston no-middle overload, in addition to having highly skilled bigs who are above average passers playing out of the short roll, while also having 3 ball handlers Go back and look at the way Illinois picked apart Nebraska's aggressive post doubles. While obviously a different caliber of athlete b/w Corn and the Cougs, Mirk was slowly backing down with his head swiveled like a Serbian Owl and MAX-baiting the double team in order to spray it crosscourt to an open weakside shooter. Can implement the same gameplan here with the auto Houston Monster double team on post-ups. The Illini don’t possess as many advantages defensively as Houston is more than willing to jack a ton of the contested, midrange jumpers that Illinois’ drop coverage will inevitably funnel them into. Which means A LOT of Houston’s offense will come down to Flemings/Uzan/Sharp midrange shotmaking. The efficiency fall-off for Flemings down the stretch of the season wasn’t as stark as I was expecting (only a couple % difference in true shooting), and if you look at his KP page, you’ll actually see the usage tick up against Tier A/B competition and again vs Tier A. Which means he's probably the single most important piece of Houston's offense in this game and could have the upside to score upwards of 25+. He just has to hit his shots. One of my issues with Illinois comes down to Underwood himself. While I certainly commend his adaptable scheme changes year-to-year, he has also not been a very good in-game manager at times, so what happens if they come out with the wrong gameplan akin to 'let's challenge Clingan early' (we saw how that went). That lack of in-game X's & O's management means Houston has the potential to jump on them early and never let up. I think Houston is also much more capable to mount a comeback with their style of play should Illinois get up early. Illinois is also 348th in Paper Tiger and both teams are outside the T300 in results consistency per Haslam, so that makes things a bit tougher to gauge. There aren't any drastic fall-offs with Illinois' analytics against top tiers but the rebounding numbers aren't quiteee as elite. In 13 games vs T25 teams, opponents shot 34.4% from 3 compared to 31% (35th nationally) Best guess is the venue location means Cougs take money for the majority of the next couple days, which is when I'll probably look to play back on Illinois. This won't be as hostile of an environment as Mackey or Breslin were, but Illinois did have a very soft road schedule in B10 play. Columbus was the toughest place they played at other than those 2 as well as Pinnacle Bank in Lincoln. FWIW, Houston is also the type of team where even the greatest schematic advantages can be tossed to the wind if that defense comes out connected & locked in, so it could all be for naught. I RARELY find myself in the business of stepping in front of Kelvin Sampson, but this does feel like the single best offense left in the tourney to matchup against that vaunted Houston defensive pressure. One last thing. Yes, Torvik's 'close games' stat can be used as a way to identify late game luck/variance for SOME teams. But when programs consistently win a high % of close games, that is something I tend to buy. Prior to this year, Houston was 21-10 S/U in games decided by 2 possessions or less. This year, what's been our worry with Houston? Amongst other nitpicky stuff is the fact that this is the youngest Cougs team under Sampson I can remember in a while. Houston this year is 3-4 in close games. While obviously a small sample, I also think there is something to Houston being slightly less bulletproof in close games this year. Looking at betting: >Illinois +points at better number later in week. Points will be worth a lot in this low possession game >Mirk assists over (likely have to wait til day of) >Flemings o17.5 points (think alts somewhat in play as well). Wish there was a littleee better scoring floor from the FT line, but Illinois just doesn't foul so you'll need him to get hot on tough shots & likely against Boswell. Not my favorite but his pull-up game is definitely Houston's best path to offense >Tomi/Mirk over 3Pointers, probably Sharp as well >Initially thought about an 'efficiency-based' over as both offenses can take advantage of the types of shots the other defenses allow. I'm also not really a totals guy fwiw and if there isn't good shotmaking in this one, we could be staring at a 64-62 game in the low 60's possessions so I'll probably pass on that

Nothing will ever come close to this Lámela goal 🥲❤️
