@DOB23 @bportnoy15 Are you ready to give up the NCAA basketball tournament format as it is? Because that split would certainly do it. Cinderellas would be done, which would be OK.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

If you don’t already follow @Super70sSports, why are you even on this site? Another spectacular effort. I like 80s SI Swimsuit Issues to win the title over High School Lunch Period. Dodgeball and Rodney Dangerfield to win a couple games as double-digit seeds.

Thirty-two “Why not …” poll Championship Friday winners are in the field but only ONE will remain standing. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2nd Annual Super 70s Sports Spectacular Bracket of Randomness! The action begins tomorrow.

@Bottorff44 Goreville v Brown county at MRN Shootout at the Pit?

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

Do you believe a return to 2 class basketball “fixes” what ails the state tournament? Or simply giving kids a two-day experience and getting rid of third place games in prime time? Or is it deeper than that?

[Don O'Brien @DOB23]

“OK. We’ll have 4 classes for basketball.”

“We’ve gotta play all of the finals the same weekend.”

“And we’ll play everything during the day during the week. Get em in and get em out.”

“Yes! Double up and play for third in prime time with no TV.”

@NestoHoops Sorry just saw Payson Seymour. Good spot.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

@NestoHoops Fantastic list. Great conversation starter. Thoughts: Rock Island too high. Collinsville way too high. Jacksonville too low. Consider Payson Seymour and Hamilton? Thanks for not including any Normal public school gym, but Bloomington is solid. Also … a Class A/AA list?

Most interesting T-shirt seen at tonight's Class 2A supersectional game in Carbondale ... a gray T-shirt worn by a Benton fan that says "Catholics vs. Cowboys."

For all the people screaming about the Moore trade and how the Bears got hosed … this guy nailed it. Burden and Loveland will gladly take those extra catches.

[SQTableSportsMike @SqTblSportsMike]

@AdamSchefter @BUFSportsTalk DJ Moore will be 29 in April and was about to be Option #4 in the Bears offense behind Rome Odunze, Luther Burden II and Colston Loveland and they managed to not only clear cap space but gain a 2nd round pick in exchange for a guy they’d have likely cut as a cap casualty. ROBBERY

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

@DOB23 Oh my goodness are they bad. My favorite line was late in regulation. BC was up 2, and Mount Pulaski missed a 3-pointer with less than 30 seconds to go. BC got the rebound, and the color announcer said, “if that one had gone in, it would have really changed the game.” You think?

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

Had the same situation happened in an Illinois high school game, does anybody believe the @IHSA_IL would have made a similar decision?

Here is the press release from MSHSAA explaining the resumption of the Highland girls basketball team’s sectional game against Principia.

Too bad Al Bundy was never in a movie. To overlook Reno Hightower is an injustice. He was a star and had to overcome Robin Williams as a receiver.

@ippensenfarms @DOB23 I would say yes. It’s not clear that Quincy is home or road, and it also breaks DOB’s (the Associated Press’) rule of listing the winning score first.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

@DOB23 @SchuckSports Would volleyball be the only sport for which reporting a score backwards is accepted? As in, “The USA defeated Brazil 25-18, 25-20, 24-26, 25-22 in the quarterfinals of the Olympics.” I can’t think of any other sport.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

@DOB23 @SchuckSports So what is the lesson learned here? Just follow what @DOB23 says. He will never lead you wrong.

I would be in favor of rocks being thrown at people who report “the Silver Streaks lost 55-70 to the Blue Devils,” but some might consider that extreme.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

@volkswagon18 I thought I heard Lanark Eastland coach ask about that and an official told him it was being reset to 35 in those circumstances.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

Saw tonight my first high school game with a shot clock since last year’s Quincy Shootout. The most important possession of the game was because of a shot clock error that couldn’t be fixed. Get ready for plenty of that when all games get shot clocks. #noshotclocknecessary

@theloot That Dave Mott interview was a classic. Of course you were there to report on it.

[David Adam @DavidAdam42]

I remember this happening at QND (versus Midwest Central) one night many, many years ago. They only played for six minutes but that game was going to be a lot of fun before a wild crowd. Unforgettable night. https://t.co/1jwPoo9yEj
