It’s me, I promise! @DavidSaltzman got hacked, and Twitter/X has not been in a hurry to help me recover the account, so I’ve started a new one. Feel free to ask me a question if you need proof lol. I’m in Lake Charles for the @SouthlandSports MBB tourney which starts tonight.

.@TexasSoftball hadn’t trailed after 4 innings since their lone loss of the season February 7. Still found a way to win their 27th straight game. Friday night and the whole weekend vs @AggieSoftball at McCombs should be a blast.

@msilvers1979 lol. Sadly, it is now closed. Long live the Molson! Where does one watch hockey in Houston now?

@SaltzmanPXP I need proof. Where was that place we met that one time to watch hockey in Houston?

Can’t wait to call Friday’s series opener between #1 @TexasSoftball and #15 @AggieSoftball with the great @ascarborough on @SECNetwork+. @SEC #HookEm #GigEm

@CBCJakeMck @KendallRogers @OccupyLF How much a fan base travels and “brand” are entirely different. “Brand” here has to do with national recognition and the attention that comes from it. Texas surpasses Arkansas and MSU easily. IMO, LSU right now competes with UT in FB, baseball, and WBB while Mulkey is there.

@KendallRogers @OccupyLF I guess I have always expect more from the Texas fan base. They didn’t travel to Houston at the level LSU did when they were both there. Even this past year the crowd was not close to LSU They never traveled to Dallas like Arkansas does despite Arkansas being further.

You wouldn’t put 𝐓𝐄𝐗𝐀𝐒 into the “biggest brand category”?!?!? LMAO. You should seriously get suspended for like a week for saying something that dumb on a social media app. 🤘🏼⚾️

@chrisgb002000 @GHamiltonOTF @kenton_paulino @TexasMBB @MarchMadnessMBB IIRC, the game ended just after midnight. Amazing to be there.

20yrs ago today #LifetimeLonghorn @kenton_paulino hit the gw shot v #WVU 🤘🏻 RT @TexasMBB On this day in 2006, @kenton_paulino’s clutch three lifted the Longhorns to the Elite Eight. 🤘 @MarchMadnessMBB | #HookEm

@_dannydavis Fans or the media covering them? 😃

Texas fans after spending this upcoming week rooting for two basketball teams in the Sweet 16, a baseball team that is hosting three games against Oklahoma and a softball team that is hosting three games against Texas A&M. #HookEm

@Joseph_Duarte Incredible.

South Region is set: 2. Houston 3. Illinois 4. Nebraska 9. Iowa Sweet 16 is Thursday at Toyota Center

Rick Barnes has not beaten a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament in 24 years. Will the streak end tonight?

It’s a nationwide epidemic. Friday night at an actual sports bar and 20 minutes into the 3rd game of the night, I had to ask the waitstaff to switch TVs off just CBS. The only league places consistently make sure to have all games on is the NFL. Besides that, gotta beg.

9-31 FG 3-16 from 3 Up 1 at the half. @CycloneMBB

@JeffHoweOTF Where’s Huggins coaching? 🤷‍♂️

If John Chaney or Lefty Driesell won a basketball game anywhere on Earth in 2026, we’d have a heck of a story on our hands.

@The_Raheel 🤘🤘

Like this tweet if your team is going to the Sweet 16

What a week. Congrats, @TexasMBB!!

Most unlikely halftime lead of the tournament so far? 🤘🤘

When the 1 seeds continue to show their dominance - as they’ve done pretty much all season - please don’t say the Tournament is getting worse. The top teams are only getting better.

@CoachDoty I've been pleasantly surprised WAB is in now since that seems to help mids far more than the NET, etc... I hope the committee reconsiders its stance that predictives (Kenpom) determine seeding because that ignores the actual results which gets a team in the NCAAs to begin with.

The driver of interest in March Madness are the mid-major programs like High Point, Miami (OH), St. Louis, Prairie View A&M, VCU, McNeese, Siena, South Florida, and others. These teams make the tournament special.. they maximize their talent, they play together, have elite chemistry, and they show that toughness and execution can level the playing field against programs with 5–15x the resources, recruiting budgets, and NIL/revenue share money. The mid-majors, their stories and their upsets drive viewership and revenue. They are the reason for the early round interest in the tournament. Why is High Point Coach Flynn Clayman and many others frustrated? It is because the system and selection process treats elite mid-majors like second-class citizens. It should be noted that no one wants to flood the field with potential Cinderellas and dilute the tournament. However, there’s a clear case for a handful more deserving mid-majors earning at-large spots each year. As it stands today, the metrics and criteria create almost no realistic path for 99% of non-power programs unless they win their conference tournament outright. There are mid-major leagues that are strong enough on a given year that their second-best team (or their best team who gets upset in their conference tournament) would win games if they were in the field. How do we get them in the NCAA tournament in the future?

@tsnmike Sir, you already know the answer to that question…

Saint Mary’s has lost three times in 30 years as a higher seed. But they’re “fraudulent.” Is Twitter this off base about all of society? Or just college hoops?

Jamie Dixon is still such an underappreciated coach. Such patience that possession with everything on the line.

TCU is running stuff. Ohio State isn’t. But Bruce Thornton… 😮

A Miami victory tonight would count as a Quad 1 win if it was the regular season. Analytics, “metrics”, etc can help one decide on a team’s worthiness, but people using them as the main or only criteria get it wrong. 31-1 should never have been turned into a debate.
