@lamelosburner69 @DerekSTerry we would, in all likelihood, unless space is at a premium somehow that otherwise prevents us from hosting

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

if it is Kentucky, a regional 3, their package is almost certainly better than Cal Poly (the other regional 3), and they'd get it by right over Saint Mary's pending availabilities
Mountaineers, otoh, would get it guaranteed but must win today + Monday.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

Biggest winners: Saint Mary's, for obvious reasons
Second biggest winners: Either Kentucky or West Virginia (playing now in Morgantown)--who will get either Saint Mary's or Cal Poly in a home Super Regional next weekend, virtually guaranteed

SAINT MARY'S ELIMINATES THE NO. 1 OVERALL SEED UCLA IN WALK-OFF FASHION 😱

Unless Dobes can stand on his head one more time (and preferably more), this series is not coming back to Centre Bell. Canes look like they've found their gear again--very hard to see how a gassed Montreal comes back from here

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

CANES TAKE GAME 3 IN MONTREAL 🔥

A PIVOTAL WIN FOR CAROLINA TO PULL AHEAD IN THE ECF 🙌

@bphelps1994 @PatMcAfeeShow If you mean do the draws live like how the NHL does it, idk that they can do that in 30 minutes with 4 draws to conduct + potential redraws. NBA does upload the actual lottery draws to socials after the draft lottery is aired (has done for several yrs)

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@SirTurbo2023 @PatMcAfeeShow trade considerations, man. All I can say is win literally any of the four draws and you'd have kept the pick.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@PatMcAfeeShow Dybantsa or Boozer at 1 for Washington, and the rest of the draft does not matter.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

start with trying to exceed MLS on Apple TV or the Premier League on NBC, *then* in about 15-20 years you can try going after World Cups

[yoxic @yoxics]

Dana White says he wants the UFC to become the most dominant sport on the planet, overtaking the FIFA World Cup as the highest viewed sports event in the world 😳

"I want to dwarf f—ing soccer.. the World Cup"

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@NickHarrisFWST Of the new stadiums, I'm fairly certain Nashville will get their SB first; whether it's 2030 or 2031 might be decided by if Tampa or Miami wants 2030. The only other viable "new" host is DC, which'll get the nod sometime early 2030s (but prob after New Orleans)

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@TonyStrong631 Seahawks are still getting the official Kickoff Game--it's just on Wednesday night instead.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

will create an intriguing scenario for the AFL if there are multiple Melbourne based teams hosting home semis in week 2 of the AFL finals series. At least one of them would have to move to Marvel if it did materialize that way

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

The 49ers and Rams will play Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:35 p.m. PT at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Due to the 17-hour time difference, the 49ers and Rams will take the field Friday at 10:35 a.m. (AEST) in Melbourne, with the game airing Thursday evening in the United States.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@kellymurrayshow @kellyinvegas @vegasmurray Brenden does, but it isn't by much since you've each got some major...let's call them question marks (Santa Clara winning rd 1, UConn not making the regional, VCU in the Final Four).

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

Speaking as someone who lives in the East region host city...

It's probably for the best we didn't get sent to DC. Would've been a pseudo road game against either UConn or Duke and I don't think we'd have stood much chance against either.

[Jenna Lifshen @jensreporting]

Putting Kentucky, Bama and Tennessee in the same region when there’s not a single SEC team in the East 🤔🤔

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@rsleist @MatthewCappucci much more likely the evening push, rather than the morning one. Morning round won't be anywhere this organized

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

Duke-UConn two Sundays from now @CapitalOneArena gonna be a heck of a game (assuming it materializes)

[SuperBook Nevada @SuperBookNV]

The East Region 👀

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

The other common denominator is that they have won (or will win) their respective conference tournaments.

And we didn't even make it to the conference semifinal.

[Ryan Lemond @ryanlemond]

Do you know the common denominator between Calipari and Pitino?

They both got beat this year by Mark Pope

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@ChickenTendy0 @DrewFranklinKSR hopefully up, but that ain't looking likely until 2027.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@Faaris_KW22 @GMaxiFan @venkatananth @PeterDellaPenna Olympics has to guarantee equal participation from all continents is the difference. Australia and NZ are in the same group (Oceania) so only one of them would go directly, while the other could (in theory, if there is a global qualifier) make it through that.

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@Faaris_KW22 @GMaxiFan @venkatananth @PeterDellaPenna the 8 teams that qualify automatically to the next T20 WC are the Super 8 teams. They then take the next 4 best unqualified teams by world ranking

[Alex Bruno @AlexJBruno]

@wolfehr @KG6783 @QBgami you're misreading the stat entirely

It's hard to have that negative of an EPA in one single game, and also these all *are* in a single postseason, so you would have to make either the CCG or the Super Bowl (with the single bye) to make this list.
