NCAA Tournament: Sweet Sixteen

When you're in your forties, they're kids.

I respectfully disagree.

Wait until you have a 21-year-old. My son seems older than I am.

Kid or no, Hunter Dickinson seems like a wholly unlikable human being.

It's odd how long this tourney has been going and there are still firsts...McNeese State had its first win ever. Kansas had never lost in in round one.

Also brought out how the transfer portal/NIL have shifted the game. Drake looked really good. And four of their guys were D-2 transfers. Charles Barkley pointed out that is amazing how many really good ball players were out there few folks ever hear of.

Bucknell beat Kansas in the first round sometime in the early 00’s. Didn’t Northern Iowa or something like that do it, too?

Amir Khan, McNeese St.'s hype man, manager, bouncer, and probably coach, becomes a March Madness celebrity. They call him "Aura."

Sorry, Aura, but BWW's is a fail.

Right there with Will Wade

Right there with Will Wade

I don’t think I dislike him anymore. He’s definitely a slime ball, but in today’s world, who cares? What’s he doing that others aren’t? Is it that he doesn’t shy away from the truth of the game?

More and more, I find his honesty pretty refreshing. And again, he’s a heck of a coach.

The way I see it, coaches who were brazenly cheating (or working the grey areas) in the 00s / 10s were the good guys.

Everybody was doing it. I think there's something to be said for guys who did it in the open and didn't really care what the media or the NCAA thought.

Interesting observation

Alabama struggling with Robert Morris

[justford]

Mississippi State down 10 with 8 minutes left in second half.

[KCKUKFan]

The SEC with a less than stellar start today.

What's up with Bama...struggling with Robert Morris

Now there's a blast from the past.....2013 NIT anyone🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[KCKUKFan]

Maybe Pope could take some defensive tips from RoMo's coach on how to stop Bama.
