Heck no you’re not the only

one— I’m so dang tired of the “Big 10 flops in March” narrative.  I hope we end up with a Purdue/Illinois championship.

This tracks with my feelings. I don’t know if anyone is gonna stop UConn though, they are a machine.

What a day for NC State. Their men's and women's teams are playing at the exact same time right now.

Watching what?  The evil from the east making a comeback?

I believe the east region played yesterday.

 At least a few games left of the tournament that we can enjoy stress-free.

Is the Creighton football team supposed to be very good this year? I don't follow them.

On a similar but different NCAA tournament topic. Here's the article from The Washington Post that came out about Kim Mulkey:

FWIW, this is the initial reaction from Kim before the article was even published (spending two press conferences about it):

Purdue, yes. Illinois, no. I am weary of thugs in sneakers winning games. For that reason, I was glad to see Duke beat Houston.

You know these players to be able to judge their character? Duke is the school churning out the Grayson Allens and Kyle Tripikowskis.

Yikes. Why do you say the Houston players are thugs in sneakers? Shead is by all accounts one of the good guys in college basketball. Great player too. They have a tough, blue collar culture in place there. Duke typically has at least a few players who behave like entitled, whiny little brats on the court.

Duke has had their share of bad boys.  If Shead didn’t get hurt Houston wins.  Go State, keep the Pukies out.

The refereeing in the UConn v Illinois game is deplorable.
