Jonathan Tjarks and I became friends while working at SB Nation in 2012. I cherish the nights we spent watching basketball together. I wrote about what Tjarks' friendship meant to me, and the towering legacy of kindness he leaves behind. Rest easy, buddy sbnation.com/nba/2022/9/14/…

AJ Dybantsa's college career is over. Late turnover seals Texas' win.

AJ's pull-up three needs some work

Dailyn Swain corner three over the contest on one end. AJ Dybantsa horrible brick on the pull-up three on the other end. It wasn't credited as a block for Texas.

Terrence Hill Jr. was No. 49 on my top-50 March Madness guys list. In a win vs. UNC: tonight 34 points on 13-23 shooting, 7-10 from three, one of them the dagger to win it.

Dailyn Swain has always been a good passer even before his bigger offensive leap this season. Slices through the defense off the pitch, creates space, hits Matas Vokietaitis with the perfect alley-oop

Dybantsa's strides attacking the basket are so precise. That's a big dude stepping wherever he wants.

@realLatifLove I think AJ will have a much higher peak than DeMar, and don't like DeMar as a general comparison for him. But this play reminds me of DeMar, he's hit that shot 4,000 times.

Think higher Ricky. This looks like someone much much better.

Dailyn Swain has nothing for AJ. Two points Dybantsa with the step-through.

Here's what I wrote on Duke in my mock this week. Take Patrick Ngongba off this team and it's also nowhere near a No. 1 seed.

Jon Scheyer is going to be coaching the Bulls next year if he loses this game (derogatory)

Update: he made his first two-pointer of the year for the go-ahead bucket to beat Wisconsin in March Madness. High Point!

This type of guy didn't exist until recently and now we will see them every year. Jack Gohlke player mold.

@oliversfox there's still time

@SBN_Ricky I actually forgot to add my complaints in the comments that's my b

Read my top-50 men's players list for the 2026 NCAA tournament. 7K+ words of analysis on the guys who will define March Madness. Plus, lots of complaining in the comments.

Imagine hating college basketball

@ZP12Hoops same, he's our goat

Getting a S/O from Mike makes me feel like I am doing something right… appreciate you, bro

Great read on Hannes Steinbach
