What if Kentucky and Utah State end up swapping coaches?
Calhoun to Lexington. Pope to Logan.
That would sum up the state of college basketball, wouldn’t it?

Kansas’ defense on St. John’s game-winning basket might be the most befuddling thing about the NCAA tournament so far. No pressure on the inbounds pass, no help. Just a clear path to the basket. Mind-boggling.

I don’t study these things, but the over/under on the BYU-Texas game jumping from 144.5 to 157.5 seems like a lot.

@AshleyAmoss @RealKinnon My first race track. Mom and dad took us kids to the harness races. I remember being mesmerized by the lights, the horses and the crowd. Thanks for the memory. Good luck to you all going forward.

Love you, Dad ❤️ Your life & (ours) has been shaped by this career. What an incredible ride it was . I wasn’t there for your 1st win, but I have been blessed to see so many. Can’t wait to see your next chapter! Proud of you. Save us a place in the winner’s circle @RealKinnon 🏆

Horse racing has been a part of my life since my early teens and in 1987 I had the privilege of saddling my first winner as a trainer. Nearly 40 years later, I look back on my career with pride and gratitude. The countless memories, friendships, and opportunities that horse racing gave me will always be a part of who I am. None of my success as a trainer would’ve been possible without the people that I work with, both past and present. I’m especially appreciative of the owners that put their trust in me. Thank you doesn’t come close to expressing my gratitude. I’m proud to share that my assistant Kinnon Larose (@RealKinnon) will be taking the reins and become the trainer of record for the barn. He deserves it. I’ve watched him grow into an incredibly talented horseman as he’s worked by my side for the last six years. I will get as much joy watching Kinnon win races as I would if I were the trainer. To the entire racing community, thank you for decades of unforgettable memories and the joy it has brought me, my team, and my family! I’m not going anywhere, just ready to support and watch the next generation lead our industry. With Horsemen like Kinnon, we are in good hands. Sincerely, Tom

@tlacomb Why did N.C. State call off its press after finally tying the game? Keep pressing, right? Turn them over (again). At worst, burn the clock and disrupt half-court the offense.
English
@SuperWahsum Thought they might have played their way into a 7th seed.
English
I hope Aggie Nation enjoyed the last 20 hours because the selection committee just stuck it to Utah State.
A No. 9 seed?
Villanova?
Then, perhaps, Arizona?
Ouch.

Prediction:
The Mountain West Conference will get five bids today … one to the NCAA tournament and four to the NIT.
English
An 11-loss team from the Mountain West isn’t going to the NCAA tournament. Might get a decent NIT seed, though.

@WACHoopsNation It was an absolute pleasure covering teams in their league. Two of the best people in the business.

Boise State’s final games as the flagship of the Mountain West Conference (barring NIT invitations):
Football: 38-10 loss to Washington (8-4) in the L.A. Bowl.
Men’s basketball: 84-74 loss to San Jose State (8-23).
Women’s basketball: 68-66 loss to Air Force (15-17).

In their apparent quest to not participate in the highly-regarded 2026 NBA draft, the Utah Jazz just dropped 41 first-quarter points on the Knicks.

UNLV opened -2.5 vs. Wyoming. It went up to -3.5. Then it went back down to -2.5.
UNLV won, 73-70.
Yes, the folks setting these lines are pretty good.

@UtahGolfers I don’t know. I remember four Salt Lake Tribune guys playing 36 holes on four courses in four states in one day.
English
Seriously doubt anyone in golf history can match this dual achievement.

BYU freshman Kihei Akina just completed a crazy stretch that spanned 7 rounds in 6 days, separated by 3,000 miles. He played two tournaments, collecting a top-20 on the PGA TOUR and his first collegiate win. He wrapped up a T16 at the PGA TOUR’s Puerto Rico Open at approximately 3 p.m. Sunday. He teed off in San Diego at 8 a.m. Monday. Akina left Puerto Rico at 6 p.m. Sunday and flew to Miami. His flight to Los Angeles arrived at 1 a.m. Monday and he then drove to San Diego, arriving at 3:45 a.m., four hours before starting a 36-hole day in the Lamkin Intercollegiate at San Diego CC. Akina shot 67-71 on Monday, then added a 64 today. Wild stuff.

@tres_tinkle3 This is unbelievable. Barnes deliberately sabotaged the coaches so his decision to fire them wouldn’t look so bad?
This kind of job insecurity/ego is off the charts. Perhaps unprecedented.
English
When the Director of Athletics meets with the team before the conference tournament and tells them to be a bunch of individuals and to only focus on themselves for portal opportunities, it’s obvious he’s afraid of the abilities inside that entire locker room..

@ESefko Overdue.
Sloan was a huge advocate for Motta being in the Hall of Fame. As you pointed out, Eddie, he said many times that Motta should have been inducted before he was in 2009. Good to see Kidd and Aguirre think so, too. Hope the voters finally agree.
English
The time has come to make former Mavericks' coach Dick Motta hall of famer. Jason Kidd and Mark Aguirre chime in.

I have never seen an NBA team play a worse final minute than the Clippers did tonight vs. San Antonio.
Just inexcusable.
Are they trying to get Lue fired?
English
@alex_m_taylor22 The quad system is a flawed metric manufactured for one reason: to give the selection committee a reason to invite an 11th- or 12th-place team from a power conference over a second-or third-place team from a smaller conference and then seed them favorably.
