@keylimepieco @CBSSportsCBB @Chip_Patterson I watched a lot of their games, they made their undefeated streak pretty exciting to watch this season. I agree that they won’t be favored against whoever they’ll play, but I still think they deserve to be in the tournament over someone like a 16 loss Auburn team

@themjohnkim @CBSSportsCBB @Chip_Patterson If you actually watched them play no you wouldn’t. The MAC has lost by an average of 18.3 points per game the last 3 years in march madness. All were reasonably comparable in KP and predictive metrics to Miami (OH). You watch another 20 point blow out? Got for it..

"I do not think the committee at this point will set the new precedent of keeping a team that has 1 loss to their name on Selection Sunday OUT of the NCAA Tournament." @Chip_Patterson on Miami (OH) after its loss to UMass.

@ekaycbs Would love two bids from the MAC. If Akron wins out and they win the tourney over Miami, I can see it happening still.

Projected WHAT?!!!

Miami of Ohio is the last unbeaten team left in college basketball... Probably the only time the last unbeaten team is outside of the AP Top 20.

@EricFawcett_ Ha that is awesome. Were a majority of the players shooting bank shots for their free throws?

A few years later and I’m honored to be in Korea witnessing the phenomenon in person

@MarchMadnessMBB @UCF_MBB @UCFKnights @UCF @Big12Conference Alright Citronauts!!

NO. 11 TEXAS TECH FALLS IN ORLANDO 🌴 UCF gets a big time conference win over the Red Raiders ⚔️

@ESPNLunardi Interested to see how Cal and Stanford end their seasons, happy to see the west coast ACC teams back in the mix for an NCAA berth

Random question, does anyone know if Gayle King in the House is still on Sirius XM? Can't find answers anywhere.

@coleadamss Always a fan of multi-bids for mid major conferences. The SEC isn’t getting 14 this year so there’s a little hope there for some more bids!

Akron is currently ranked #53 on KenPom That’s the highest ranking the Zips have ever had under John Groce March Madness appearance years: 2020: 82 2022: 126 2024: 122 2025: 100 The MAC conference tournament is going to be must watch Mid-Major hoops in March

@SportsCenter Been an exciting team to watch, tuned in for the last couple minutes of their most recent games. Will be fun to see in March!

MAKE IT 21 WINS IN A ROW FOR THE REDHAWKS‼️ Miami (OH) remains one of two undefeated teams left in men's college basketball 🔥

@Gill_Gross I forget she’s only 31 since she’s been at or near the top for so long

Speaking strictly narratively, there are some Madison Keys vibes in this Svitolina run. 31 years old, perennial tier 2-3 contender, recent prioritization of mental health, won a title leading up to the Australian Open.

@elmachuca Ha didn't know they had one here in Austin, used to eat there all the time when I lived in Dallas

Imagine living in Sunset Valley, getting to grab lunch at Texadelphia

Was ready to start rooting for Sam Darnold until I discovered that the video of him dancing is actually AI. AI is getting scary good at looking real.

@BenRothenberg Interesting to see the temperature swings in Melbourne, surprised to see it cool down so much the rest of the week.

We’re going up up up up up uh-up

@averytomascowx Good to know. Glad at least we are getting rain!

Sporadic power outages all over Central Texas this morning. This is NOT WINTER STORM RELATED. Instead, power pole fires are to blame. Recent drought = buildup of dust/pollen on insulators = electrically conductive slurry when drizzle falls = electrical short/fire

@EvilMopacATX The Austin subreddit makes me feel this way!

AUSTIN ICE STORM UPDATE

@AmyLundyDahl I read that somewhere and was confused how that works with NIL. Would think that he would have the right to this money.

The split screen of one college athlete (Carson Beck) describing how he doesn’t go to class and makes ~$5 M while the other college athlete (Michael Zheng) attends Columbia, grinds thru a 5-set win & cannot accept his relatively modest #AustralianOpen prize $— … is very real 🤔

@gwilk44 @vanshv2k I just realized I need ESPN+ to watch all the matches, why did I think TC would cover them 🤡

@themjohnkim @vanshv2k Yep this is the first major since espn plus was introduced for them to do this

If you are in the U.S., ESPN+ does not give you full access to all the courts at the Australian Open. You need to get ESPN Unlimited which costs $29.99/month.

Does anyone still use this?
