Baylor Scheierman with a career-high 30 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
He’s developed all year, but a hell of a time to break out with the playoffs about here and the Celtics in title contention.

Love these two dudes!!

If you think Bruce Springsteen should shut up about politics and just play his songs, you obviously have no idea what Bruce Springsteen has been singing about for the past 50 years https://t.co/Cqa4M8pd0V

Fr. David Inczauskis, SJ: Today, Holy Thursday, two priests, one religious sister, and I washed the feet of, brought communion to, and prayed with 14 detainees at the Broadview ICE Facility.

Many of the detainees' hands were cuffed and feet were shackled.

During our prayer service with them, as I arrived at the lines of the gospel of the day, "He loved his own in the world and he loved them to the end," I had to pause to collect myself.

The detention and deportation of these people in front of me, it is not love. Their binding with chains, it is not love. It is far from the Reign of God. It is sinful and evil. It is dehumanizing.

Yet in the washing of the detainees' feet and in their reception of communion, light began to shine in this dark place. Their humanity was recognized. Their dignity was acknowledged. For a moment, if only for a moment, love broke through the despair.

Thanks to the Coalition for Spiritual and Public Leadership for tirelessly working for the cause of our migrant sisters and brothers. I am grateful to be part of this organization.

Greg McDermott, asked about the Big East being back in the Final Four despite a down year:

"I really thought we had two Final Four-level teams, and it would've been nice if maybe St. John's was in a different bracket so that they both could've had a shot.

"But St. John's played great against Duke. You could argue that they probably played the better 40 minutes than UConn did. UConn had a rough stretch there in the first half and played terrific in the second half.

"I'm glad we got another team in the Final Four. Hopefully, UConn can go there and make some noise."
