While getting older is a blessing, one of the devastating aspects of it is the fact that the older you get the more people you know die. With that said, those deaths—and especially sudden ones like that of #GarretAnderson—provide us all with two very important reminders!

On Saturday, Arizona will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 2001 under Lute Olson.

The same day, Iowa will be playing for its first trip to the Final Four since 1980, when it was coached by Lute Olson.

If you enjoying reading about facts and trends as you get ready for the Big Dance, maybe you’ll like a few things in here. Happy Madness! https://t.co/LBD6drAqEp

All six teams that tied for second place in the Sun Belt lost their first game in the tournament. Turns out the seeding didn't matter after all. We have 10-seed Georgia Southern trying to win 6 games in 6 days for the title (vs. 1-seed Troy on Monday).

@WxmanTony The "first year in the conf." part was incorrect, by the way, but they were still not allowed to participate in the conference tourney at that point. Just wanted to be clear on that, in case you cared. :-)

With conference tournament season upon us, here's a look at some recent trends about which ones have featured the most and least chaos: https://t.co/YB3iquk0La

@WxmanTony Thank you, Tony. I don't write Bubble Watch, but I can pass that along, as I remember that Utah State team. Another with <4 losses that was left out was College of Charleston in 1996. It wasn't eligible for the TAAC tourney (first year in the conf.) and didn't get an at-large bid

@WxmanTony Also, I ran out of characters, so thank you for reaching out, Tony.

From ESPN Research:

The Rams trailed by 11 in this game. They have two double-digit comebacks in the playoffs:

-- Both are under Sean McVay
-- Both were in an NFC Championship Game

This so, so cool. @JeffPassan is both a great journalist and a good guy. And helping out who comes next is incredibly generous.

“The Sandberg game”. RIP Ryno

@MicheleSteele May this next chapter be rewarding and joyful. Back in your earlier days working with us on the fantasy side, your talent and ability to make us laugh always stood out. All the best to you, Michele!

@TDavenport_NFL Congratulations, Turron! Love to see this. Sorry I wasn’t in town to say hello in person at the summit.

[Keith Lipscomb @KeithLipscomb]

@JohnDBeckTV @JohnHillbery But just think about how well you handle adversity and disappointment with the years of practice.

[Keith Lipscomb @KeithLipscomb]

@JohnDBeckTV @JohnHillbery Is now a bad time to tell you I liked you no matter what?

[Keith Lipscomb @KeithLipscomb]

Amen to that!

First-class talent. First-class human.

One of the more absurd box scores I have come across:

No. 5 Ellington defeated Hale Ray 1-0 in 14 innings #ctsb

Ellington SP Camryn Fisher: 14IP, 2H, 1BB, 37Ks

Hale Ray SP Lily Jahne: 14IP, 0H, 0ER, 3BB, 33Ks

No program epitomizes mental and physical toughness like Houston. Such an impressive comeback against an incredibly talented Duke squad. The Cougars still have only one loss in regulation this season ... in Game 2 against Auburn nearly 5 months ago.

@robbie1_russell Thank you, Rob!

[Keith Lipscomb @KeithLipscomb]

@Manzerd Yes, Giant Killers will be publishing this morning. Good luck picking the right upsets!
