Spallina was the 3rd overall pick in PLL Draft and currently third leading scorer for Whipsnakes…likely will get at least a 10x bigger salary by playing at Syracuse another year

[Dan Arestia @danarestia]

BREAKING: Legal action has been filed seeking an additional year of NCAA eligibility for athletes in the high school class of 2022.

Joey Spallina, Billy Dwan, Luke Rhoa, Michael Leo, and Finn Thomson have joined the lawsuit.

Story to follow soon.

@madeformarch Think that is right 20 would best Georgetown’s 1996-97 starting lineup combined 21 letters with the legend Boubacar Aw

@IanDarke @iDoLikeSpam Easy answer would be to add other AFC nations like China, India or previous hosts Japan and South Korea, and you get additional host cities to get a 5 or 6 hour difference between all time zones

[Bob Hand @BOBHANDTV]

@IanDarke @iDoLikeSpam Could stagger six a day with the time zones in 2030
Start 1st match in Spain at 11 AM with 3-hour intervals - the sixth match of the day would go off at 9 PM in South America
Bigger question is what they would do in 2034 with only one host (1 time zone)?

[Bob Hand @BOBHANDTV]

@MattNorlander They should have changed NET taking Q1 and Q2 wins to current neutral status makes (1-50, 51-100)…part of more non-conference at neutral locations (sorry @GaryParrishCBS) because last year if a team would have lost to Miami (Ohio) and it would have been Q3 loss at home

Another key detail from the NCAA today: With 76 teams, Wins Above Bubble's cut-off for the "average" bubble team is dropping from ~45 to ~55 moving forward.

In other words, if you're top 50 in WAB and/or Strength of Record, you're a lock-lock to dance. https://t.co/284vzNf5ar

Dillon Jones was on a two-way contract, so he was ineligible for post-season play. Yet, he played a role during the playoffs as we learn below.

In the last 12 months:
▪️ Jones won an NBA title with OKC ➡️ WAS (0 games) ➡️ Rip City (G League) ➡️ NYK/WES 2-Way (+ 2nd title)

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

@rodger Same amount of interceptions as well

Michigan is the first title-winning team since Villanova in 2018 to have three first-round draft picks.

(And Jalen Brunson wasn't one of them.)
