Thankful for all the Huskies who witnessed history tonight 💙

Pete Rose shares tons of baseball knowledge with A-Rod and Frank Thomas. It’s a 6 minute video, but I promise you, it’s the best thing you’ll see about Pete Rose today.

Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not),

a game with 10+ RBI
a game with 6+ hits
a game with 5+ XBH
a game with 3+ HR
a game with 2+ SB

That one player is Shohei Ohtani. He did all of it today.

I’m at a concert in Brooklyn and @thegodrakim noticed Me just as I was taking a pic of Him…. Love to Hip Hop!

[Bastien Fachan @BastienFachan]

Ok, this is amazing:

1/ Canadian and Brazilian players are having a heated chat at the net during the women’s beach volleyball gold medal match
2/ DJ plays John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’
3/ Players look at one another and smile
4/ Crowd starts singing along

[Alan Hahn @alanhahn]

Sweet music. #RepBX

Diana Taurasi now has 21 games with 20 or more points at age 40 or older — surpassing Michael Jordan for the most of any player in NBA or WNBA history.

Bill Walton passing away the day after the @pac12 conference last sporting event is something. #RIP #NotFadeAway

[Graig Kreindler @GraigKreindler]

😭😭😭

[Luke Murray @CoachLukeMurray]

My Dad always tells my brothers and me that “this is not the dress rehearsal” and that we’ve got one shot to LIVE this life we’re blessed with. Bill Walton didn’t need a reminder.

Irreplaceable. Thank you for your life.

Since 1995, there have been 58 National Championship games in Men's and Women's Division I Basketball.

One school -- UConn -- has won 29% (17 of 58) of them

[J.R. Veillette @JRVvb]

John Fanta, Florence and Dan Hurley's Machine. BRB I'm going to run through a wall.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

Tonight. The game we’ve all been waiting for. Let’s go.

[Heat Check CBB @HeatCheckCBB]

Dan Hurley's famous "Get Us Now" quote came after UConn's loss to Villanova on Jan. 18, 2020.

UConn since:

🔵National title, 2 Final Fours
🔵113-34 overall
🔵64-26 in conference play
🔵10-2 in NCAA Tournament
🔵55 weeks in AP Top 25
🔵No. 4 in Torvik

[J.R. Veillette @JRVvb]

@UConnMBB. Huskies can beat you fast or slow, inside or outside. #ByanyMeansNecessary

[J.R. Veillette @JRVvb]

Purple teams doing well in the bracket.

[John Fanta @John_Fanta]

Chills: Before Georgetown’s press conference tonight following the defeat to UConn in the Big East Championship Game, the Hoyas’ Graceann Bennett announced that Georgetown and interim Darnell Haney are in discussions to make him permanent head coach.

[Jared Berson @JaredBerson]

After tonight, UConn’s Cam Spencer’s numbers on the season:

- 14.9 PPG
- 50% from the field
- 46% from 3
- 92% from the line
- 3.1 A/TO

He’s on pace to be the first player in Division I history to shoot 50-40-90 and post a 3 to 1 assist to turnover ratio in a single season.

[J.R. Veillette @JRVvb]

@DaveBorges It will definitely happen again. Love the intensity.

[4 The Cycle @4TheCycle1]

Coach Calhoun was recruiting Kobe in HS, he came to the realization that Kobe was going to go pro. Then he asked who’s that skinny kid playing the two guard on the other team? That skinny kid was Rip Hamilton. Rest is History.
