@SDPBSports The best version I’ve ever heard in person!

Bohdi Linde of Rapid City Central put on an AWESOME acoustic rendition of the National Anthem. Hit play to check it out. #SDPreps #SDHoops26

@jfos4 @espnW Don’t foul!

@espnW Wow, what a call by the ref! Shows again, it's the Ref Show whenever they can interject.

WHAT AN ENDING 🚨 12-seed Kansas State advances in the Big 12 tourney after beating 4-seed Oklahoma State 😱

@ZachSchumaker Really bad takeaway if that’s all you see …..

Darryn Peterson is unable to move, yet the officials hit him with an offensive foul. This is a glaring trend of Peterson being denied a fair whistle. Bill Self taking just the third ejection of his entire career was 100% justified.

@Alex_Suther @stuwhitney That’s the quote I was going for - thanks, you did it better

@chrislongsd @stuwhitney Hate to let the truth ruin a good story!

The activities association remembered they were in South Dakota, where progress is forbidden.

@Alex_Suther @stuwhitney Don’t let the details get in the way :)

@stuwhitney So the Sanford complex being booked already is somehow a lack of progress?

@sciencegirl How far vertically does property go?

Your neighbor built this pergola that hangs clearly over in your yard. What would you do

If we were actually serious about student success, we’d do some obvious things: • Start school later • Stop stretching the day just to cram more in • Protect arts, PE, and recess • Build around kids’ strengths, not just what they miss • Let students think, create, and explore • Stop letting tests drive everything • Make school enjoyable again • Notice and celebrate growth Most of this isn’t radical. It’s just common sense we keep ignoring

@AnthonyRayGray @PaulBiancardi This tweet makes zero sense as had checking is indeed a foul

@PaulBiancardi A hand check isn’t a foul Paul.

There has been much discussion about the end of the California at Notre Dame game. According to the continuation rule, once the dribble has ended and contact ( foul) occurs, the offensive player is allowed one step to shoot the ball. On the controversial play, the official called a foul on the Notre Dame player who fouled Dai Dai Ames with 5.5 seconds remaining, and Cal was down by three points. Once the contact (foul) occurred, Ames landed on two feet, so at that point the play should have ended. A common foul should have been the correct call. Cal would’ve then taken the ball SLOB with 5.5 seconds down three points. These two pictures illustrate

@CoachHackGO Except the screen is illegal

Ghost the high ball screen directly into an elevator screen Clever play for an end of game quickie

@LouStagner Literally elicits an emotional reaction….

Could watch this all day.

HBD TW!

An important message for parents. Negativity at home always finds its way to the locker room. Parents have the power to help build a positive culture…or poison it.

For generations, kids had three worlds: 1. Home 2. School 3. A third place; the park, the field, the neighborhood, the church gym, the rec center. That third place is where kids learned: • how to solve problems without an adult • how to read emotions and faces • how to handle conflict • how to lose • how to make friends • how to negotiate and compromise • how to sit with frustration • how to just be a kid But today? Most kids' third place is a screen. A screen doesn’t teach boundaries. A screen doesn’t teach emotional regulation. A screen doesn’t teach cooperation or conflict skills. A screen doesn’t teach patience or self-control. So all the social and emotional skills kids used to practice before they walked into school… they have to learn inside school now. And that’s why: behavior feels different attention feels different emotions feel bigger classroom management is tougher. This isn’t a “kids these days” problem. It’s a cultural shift. When the third place disappears, childhood changes. And schools end up carrying what the community used to teach. Until kids get their third place back, we’re going to keep seeing the fallout

@huskypals @BrooksAustinBA @Brady_Quinn This makes no sense? BYU should be in by this logic. Duke too. The conference championship obviously only means what the committee wants it to mean .

@BrooksAustinBA @Brady_Quinn If they would have played in a conference championship game yesterday, they would be in! But they chose to stay independent, and there are consequences of that decision. Risk reward of staying out of a conference.

I think Notre Dame is better than Miami and Alabama. Willing to take the backlash in the comments for believing it.

@All4one1993 @MattJZimmer Dead Horse!

Maybe you should join a conference.

Showing a lot of CLASS here from @IASTATEAD this is how you lead!

@kbauer28 @PeteSampson_ ? - did they “un-give up” the next two games …I’m confused 🤔

@chrislongsd @PeteSampson_ It's because Arkansas gave up on their coach that day, hello!

“Conferenece” Proofread ‘em and weep x.com/big12conferenc…

@tbhorka @finebaum Maybe consider this too while we’re at it…….

It really feels like a no-win situation for Notre Dame this weekend. @finebaum: It’s a “major, colossal mistake” if ND ends up one CFP spot ahead of Miami in the event of a BYU loss to Texas Tech. That seems to be the national consensus going into conference championship week.

When you have opportunities to lead - those you are leading will always learn something…Either what to do … or what NOT to do…I’ve experienced both ... Lead Wisely!
