Of course it isn't, because U Conn is winning.

Danny Hurley's sideline demeanor doesn't bother anyone?

Cam Spencer is 24 years old.

Refs are letting everything go. Very physical game.

Bama tried it on one of the first possessions of the second half but didn't get the call

The way U Conn runs many of their offensive sets with a pick then hard, fast roll to the basket, I think you can draw offensive fouls on the roller if you set up for it. Get a couple offensive fouls then it will change the rhythm of U Conn's offense.

It feels like Alabama is playing about as well as they can play and they trail by 4. Second, I don't see Purdue having any chance against U Conn.

I'll take Castle first. That size will play in the NBA.

If you were an NBA team, would you draft Sheppard, Dillingham or Castle? (By the way, Castle is the only freshman playing minutes in the Final Four.)

Spencer Steer is so solid. He's a guy you can build a lineup around.

The hate is pervasive in our society. Everyone hating on others for just about anything different than the way the want it to be. Name calling. Threats. Conspiracy bulloney. Social media is a scourge on society.

Only Hill and Adams have more yards than Diggs over the last 5 years. Only Adams has more receptions than Diggs the last 5 years. Tied for 4th in receiving TD's over the past 5 years. _______ Side note: If you look at the last 4 years, Tee Higgins falls in the 15-20 range in all those categories. The Bengals will definitely be overpaying Higgins this coming year.

That's what you get with a young team. There will be more night's like that this season.

If Sullivan wants to make the move, then what is the delay? Go ahead and make the announcement. There isn't a better option out there.

Looking pretty good for the Cincinnati area - and for Indiana and Ohio

You can't look back. The Bengals took the Mixon money and got a RB that is excellent in the Bengals beloved shotgun formation and an excellent receiving TE. Good move. And they got Mixon to a good spot for him, which I think the Bengals are happy for him and glad they "took care" of a great Bengal. But here is a regret. Fourth down and one. Fourth quarter. Super Bowl. Bengals hand the ball to Samaje Perrine while Mixon watches from the sideline. Mixon has to get the ball if you are running it on that play. A friend of mine who is a Bengals insider told me Mike Brown was livid about that play call. Brown said it went against one of papa Paul's main rules of coaching - Players make plays, always put the ball in your best player's hands at the big moments in games.

I posted this in the game thread: Just watched the screen again and I think it was the right call. If you see the angle from across the court, the U Conn player jumps out a step to her left away from the basket to set the screen. I thought it was borderline till I saw it from that angle. But the thing I will say, if the ref did not call it and U Conn hits the shot off that screen for the win, people would be questioning why the ref did not call an illegal screen.

It's not shocking at all that they traded him. What they traded him for is the surprise. And if that is all Buffalo could get, looks like no one else in the NFL wanted him.

De La Cruz needs to get his act together on defense. I believe he leads MLB in errors after tonight's game.

That can all be style. Iowa attacks the basket and that draws fouls. Clark is going to draw fouls. Iowa plays zone defense a decent amount, which reduces fouls on them.

Is it unusual to have 3 jobs come open in one year?

Are there any no no's like don't hire an agent, don't accept money from an agent, etc that would prevent a player from returning to college?

Heard today that as part of this deal the Diggs contract ends this year. One year prove it deal now for Diggs. A chance for him to get one more big contract next year if he plays well.

Hiring an agent? Closing the door on college?
