@HighPointHoops@MattGrossenbach The first time you made March Madness was 2025. & you made it this year again & did great. But going back to back doesn’t just mean all of a sudden you are the Gonzaga of the WCC. Longwood (22&24) Winthrop B2B in 20&21. No one was saying they should move? Just a money thing imo.
Konnor Griffin will make his Pirates debut today.
The Pirates will honor the late Bill Mazeroski today.
The Pirates scout who found Griffin was Darren Mazeroski. Bill’s son.
Maz wore 9. Griffin was the 9th pick in the draft.
This is like a movie come to life.
Oneil Cruz has sunglasses on in CF today. But gets caught lackadaisically throwing the ball back into the infield by the Pirates broadcast team. Will this guy ever get it?
Mark DeRosa on not using Mason Miller against Venezuela:
"Honoring the Padres. Had we taken the lead, he was coming in, but I wasn't going to bring him in to a tie game."

@65hole @LongwoodBlue The whole point is to schedule competition that actually measures the line up & pitching staff. If we faced all top 25 schools they would have no clue what to gain from the info going into conference. This is a way to establish confidence & measure performance.
