Santa Clara should have fouled after hitting that 3 at the end of regulation!!!

Coulda Shoulda Woulda

Seeing Duke, UConn, Kansas & UCLA all in the same region is wild, regardless of seed. That’s a lot of championships won in the past!

UConn hasn’t lost in so long, people forgot to talk about them 🐺

At 21-1, their only loss is a 4-point game vs #1 Arizona without two starters.

I asked @dhurley15 this AM for a quote, re: CBB's in-season free agency trend. He sent back a voice memo tonight. I've transcribed it in full and am sharing b/c it needs to be read by every person who claims to care about college athletics.
