High Point University in NC, which beat Wisconsin in basketball today, conducts campus tours on golf carts, offers wealthy students private housing for $40,000 per year and built an "airplane-cabin interior" so that students could rehearse sitting next to an executive on a plane.

Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen that much joy from a winning team.

Told my wife as the last USA at bat finished facing a RHP from Venezuela, they will bring in a lefty now because Schwarber leads off and Bregman is second and he’s awful. Called it. So glad DeRosa arranged for his best hitter to not get any ABs in the championship game.

Gunnar Henderson is not starting the championship despite being 6-for-14 with two homers and a double in the WBC Venezuela's starter is lefty Eduardo Rodriguez. Henderson has a .227 average and .678 OPS vs. lefties in his MLB career. He's hit .287 with an .893 OPS vs. righties

WILYER ABREU GIVES VENEZUELA THE LEAD!!!!

As an AD, I have learned that supportive families who truly understand the value of athletics are essential to the culture of a program. Their encouragement, perspective, and belief in the bigger picture must always be louder than the negativity.

Underrated coaching truth: The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent. They’re obsessed with effort. With attitude. With toughness. Because when it gets hard, that’s what still shows up.

Someone remind Mark DeRosa that the games are single elimination from here on out.
