James Wood's first career grand slam was an inside the parker. Amazing. I've never seen an inside the park slam.
Second one in Nats history. (Michael A. Taylor on 9/8/17).
Here’s how Joe Lunardi did with his final bracket compared to the actual bracket:
FIELD: 68/68
AT-LARGE: 37/37
SEED (exact): 57/68 *
SEED (+/- 1):
67/68 *
* personal best(s)
I know Joe is good at this, but that is just wild. 👏 @ESPNLunardi
Tyrese Haliburton on the moment he realized he wasn’t playing in the Olympics 😭
“We’re in the back doing film and we have the team meeting where we acknowledge that all 12 guys can not play. Steve starts talking everybody can’t play, Bron is talking how he didn’t play in the 04 Olympics that much, Kd is over there saying we’re all 12 all stars, everybody is good. I’m sitting there listening and I’m like yeah. As we start film I’m like, but who are they talking about? I’m looking around like, he’s not talking about him, he’s not talking about him, I’m like ahhh, they talking bout me!”

Coach Crean is my guy but I sure hope he’s wrong regarding @CFBPlayoff
Blown out in the SEC Championship game to now have a 3-loss season. All they had to do was be competitive (yesterday). They weren’t; yet the spin to keep them in is exhausting.
They shouldn’t be “in”.
I saw a high school kid dunk on some and 2 of the assistants jumped up and did the head tap like they were children. It’s was embarrassing. Everyone on the bench isn’t really a coach. More like friends of the program. 🤷🏽♂️
Spot on advice from one of the best people in our sport - @TomCrean
Young Coaches — don’t be a spectator — be a coach. Know your role, know what the HC needs from you and deliver.
Young Coaches,
Don’t be afraid to Coach !
1. Bring energy and intent. Not sarcasm or be condescending.
2. Know your details and know what the HC wants. It’s not about the latest trends.
3. Be positive but be demanding. They don’t need you to just “hang out”
4. B CONSISTENT!

This is special and worth the time
Coaching basketball is so much more than X and Os and what happens in the 40 minutes on game night

Tony Bennett is getting very emotional admitting that he was not equipped and not the right person to lead the Virginia basketball program in the current climate
Referenced NIL, agent involvement, transfer portal.
Said the game of college basketball is not in a healthy spot.
