And they said you couldn’t build a championship team around Mason Plumlee, Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk …

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

For @TheAthletic, I wrote about the perceived death of "Cinderella" in the NCAA tourney. The gap has grown between power conferences and everyone else and the stats back it up. But there are still upsets to be found; we just have to change our perspective.

@mirror_web3 I don’t believe Duke is getting away with uncalled fouls, to address what you said. I still can’t figure out what Ngongba did on the “double flagrant.”

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

Jamie Dixon has TCU playing like he’s back at Pitt in 2008 — foul the crap out of the other team every possession and dare the refs to call it. But that play has long since been legislated out of the game. And today they are calling it. Don’t then cry when the refs do their job.

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

@mirror_web3 TCU initiated things from the jump. The audacity to play that style of play — bordering on dirty — and then cry is stunning.

Key lesson for March…

Listen to Jordan!!!

There have been 3 Bracket Breaker upsets so far (at least a 5-seed difference). They were our model's 2nd-, 3rd- and 4th-likeliest upsets.

@bycharlescurtis I probably should just call it a career. BTW, the movie seems to be on YouTube. Who can forget the Desperate Housewives spoof to start things off?

@RobertJCraneJr What happened to James Morakis? 2nd team all-NESCAC as a junior and barely playing as a senior?

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

Oh.

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

The Olympics should add a ski version of decathlon. All the main alpine events plus moguls, aerials, cross-country and, of course, ski mountaineering.

Do the Patriots know they are allowed to call some designed runs for Maye?

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

This game is everything we thought it would be and less.

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

By my count, 9 players who were NBA All-Stars this decade have been traded in recent days (if you count the Trae Young deal). And we still have tomorrow.

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

Cooper and Kon are pretty good, eh?

[Jordan Brenner @JordanBrenner]

@FrontOfficeLos Correct. Just saying one shouldn't confuse defending a client with endorsing his/her actions.
