Kentucky Windage

Very overrated as far as all the hubbub and build up. This falls into the "Meh, cool if I'm around but not going out of my way" category for me. Very anticlimactic.

What I meant moreso was that Cal wasn't willing to adjust with NIL in conjuction with the open transferring. He could never build an experienced roster because he was still too focused on doing it his way.

It was time. Cal had a good run. It's clear he wasn't willing to adjust to the NIL, transfer at will, and building experience on a roster. I'm happy for the time he gave us, but the collegiate game has changed. It's time to focus on someone who can bring that change to Lexington.

I fear that the eclipse will be too much for UConn to overcome. I'm picking Purdue, in totality.

Wow, it feels spicy out right now. Everybody buckle up!

Clouds clearing out in the Cincinnati area. This is the view from Ohio looking across the Ohio River to the west into God's country.

Very impressive, indeed. A couple of their previous tournament runs they had to earn every possession in nearly every game. These last couple years they have been curb stomping teams. They'd have to have multiple things go wrong to lose at this point.

That was a big time basketball game. Each team had their moments. Cormac Ryan was on fire for a moment but Oates made adjustments (I think it was Sears who locked Ryan down) and I don't think Ryan got another shot off after the 3 he made very early in the second half. I personally was pleased when Bacot missed a point blank dunk. It was lightly contested but still missed. No real reason why, but I just have an extreme disliking for Bacot. Grant Nelson, dude straight up balled it out down the stretch for Bama.

But it's been entertaining for sure!

89-85 Tide 7.6 left in the game.

Goodness. What a game! 87-85 Tide with 35.3 left.

83-82 Heels 2:09 left. Gotta make them free throws

Ryan for UNC has been excellent too. I think he has 6 3's. The Tide are just keying on him though.

A dandy of a game. 82-77 Tide. Nelson has gone unconscious for the Tide. Timeout Heels

Timeout Tide. 8:10 left in the game. Both teams in the bonus. Fun game to watch. 70-67 Heels
