On Saturday night, Abilene Christian did not make a single shot in the final 3:30 and committed 2 turnovers.....they still won.

In ways big and small, the tournament has been altered by the pandemic — but it will perhaps be better for it. https://t.co/KtRHoTLIPh

@TripleThreatHR Crazy that this is still even up for discussion. #NotNCAAProperty

[Triple Threat @TripleThreatHR]

College athletes should absolutely have the right to monetize their own names, images, and likenesses.

They are #NotNCAAProperty

Racism has never been something that only Black people endure. Hate has no color.

“Jeremy Lin warned the sports world about #StopAsianHate, then a white terrorist killed six Asians in Atlanta — are you paying attention yet?”

My latest for @Deadspin

The instinct to vilify minority groups, especially during times of crisis, has a long-standing history in the U.S., rooted in the country’s relationship to white supremacy or fear that white people might become less powerful. https://t.co/B4Avj2fBPK

Learn to shoot. Learn to defend. If you can do both, you'll be unstoppable.

This might be the best @dmorey interview that I’ve encountered to date, in part because, while basketball is certainly discussed, it isn’t necessarily the driving force of the conversation. Instead, it focuses on rigorous decision-making, cognitive biases, and competitive edges.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Just a few years ago, the GOP had total control of the House, Senate, and White House to ram through their radical agenda – and the American people voted them out. We shouldn’t let Minority @LeaderMcConnell and his desperate party keep their veto now. https://t.co/B7VZKSNTom

[Triple Threat @TripleThreatHR]

@BobChoate54 Just the opposite.

Voting should be easier, not harder.
More open, not closed.
More inclusive, not restrictive.

Anyone who actually supports democracy agrees.

The Lakers shot 27 for 27 at the rim last night against the Warriors.

That's the most made shots at the rim without a miss in any game in the CTG database (which goes back to 2003-04).

By far: The second highest total without a miss was the Sixers going 21 for 21 back in 2010.

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

Awesome hanging with. @bballbreakdown on our #Masterclass in our community. Deep diving on some plays with video and analysis the way he does it better than anyone. #sharethegame

Honestly...any salary under $50,000 , for a job requiring a college degree, should be illegal

[Triple Threat @TripleThreatHR]

They WOULD be burning books... but they don’t own any.

[Derick Waller @wallernyc]

The CDC Director explicitly warned against doing this. Texas is ending their mask mandate and ending capacity limits.

[CDC @CDCgov]

Data continue to show that rates of #COVID19-associated hospitalizations are falling after a peak in early January. While rates are going down, they’re still too high. Help slow the spread:
😷 Wear a mask.
↔ Stay 6 feet apart.
🚫 Avoid crowds.

.@HarrisCoJudge Hidalgo & I urged ⁦@GovAbbott⁩ to keep the mask mandate in place prior to this afternoon's announcement. Wearing masks keeps our businesses and schools safely open, decreases community spread of the virus and saves lives. #WearAMask #MaskUpHou
