@DavidWCobb Rotate between The Pit and Wichita

@ClayTravis The argument I’ve heard is that Ronaldo’s is different bc it wasn’t for a red “during” the WC finals. But to me that’s a hollow distinction with no meaningful difference.

@pistolsguys @RoccoMiller8 How is he possibly eligible for a waiver if he played 1 season Juco, 3 seasons NAIA, and 1 season at Sam Houston?

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@KylePorterNS Plus we know Phoenix can handle going up against the Super Bowl, so it would enable them to start the season the week before at Torrey (during the non-football week) and get high ratings / reduce pre- Masters pileup

@brauf33 @basket_review Agree that Texas being that high is a surprise and doesn’t fit the eye test. Kudos to Roy Williams for being one of the only blue bloods who was willing to play Gonzaga at The Kennel.

@CollegeFBonX Lendale White getting stuffed on 4th and 1 when USC would have run out the clock against Texas in the Rose Bowl.

@FreddyLA7 Thank you, Freddy for the great service you’ve done for Americans by simply reminding us of the wonders and beauty (and weirdness, but in a good way) surrounding us every day in our own country. Enjoy the rest of your journey.

@statsbywill First time I believed a 16 would do it was when 89 ETSU (Mr. Jennings) had the lead and the ball with 2:20 to go vs. Oklahoma before ultimately losing by 1.

Princeton 89 and Murray St. (Popeye Jones!) 90 also achingly close but don’t recall feeling they’d actually win.

@KylePorterNS Best thing that happened all day. Wonderful to see.

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@basket_review Absolutely genius

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@KylePorterNS Kyle how could you not mention the top 5 finished at +1, +2, +3, +4 and +5? Seems like that’s your thing?

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@MattNorlander They don’t need a committee at all - a mix of WAB/Ken Pom/Torvik would do fine, and Dan Gavitt/computer could do bracketing. Truth is the Committee is the most fun thing these guys get to do. Why give that up just bc they aren’t BB experts?

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@MattNorlander Too bad to lose Gill; thought he was a real breath of fresh air as Chair last year.

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@KylePorterNS Either “I could care less” when they mean the opposite, or using “fulsome” when they mean “full” or “complete.”

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@TronCarterNLU “Constant drivel” is absolutely right. Morgan adds zero insight - get Mel Reid or Stupples in there for her.

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@JonRothstein Convenient that the contracted-for UK game at the Kennel will never happen

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@brauf33 Verne on the SEC - absolutely top notch

@brauf33 Not really. He diagnosed the problem but his “solutions” are childish wish-casting. Until there’s federal legislation, any “rule” the NCAA tries to impose to limit $$ will be defeated in court as an antitrust violation.

[josh Lichtman @LichtmanJosh]

@MattNorlander Much better format, but ESPN’s involvement really seems to put the final nail in Maui’s coffin.
