@midmajortapes Can we get a Wesley Saunders tape??

@whitakk Bryce Aiken 38 points on 21 shots at Yale in the Ivy League championship in 2019!

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

UMass moved from 200 to 201 in the NET overnight, moving Miami of Ohio’s loss to them from Q3 to Q4

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan I do think that continued success begets more support, which has happened with Princeton.

But I agree that removing all priors Yale is a worse job, partly due to location. I also remember them not selling out a championship game against Harvard, which, smh

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan 9 out of 10 top 150 seasons pre Covid and 0 out of 4 post Covid. However, I have gone from pessimistic to cautiously pessimistic

@ncaatapes Trae Young did some insane stuff in his one year

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan But he would need to prove it over a full season and go well into his second semester he definitely shouldn’t start sitting out

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan He’s always been good but the shooting has taken a leap, and now he’s the point guard and that’s going well too. He’s also super long. If he gets a 5th year he could certainly start on a very good team

Idaho men’s and women’s basketball beat Washington State tonight. This is an Idaho Vandals fan account btw

Spotted: a signed Sean May Bobcats jersey in Florence

@PizzitolaFan If it was hockey, on the other hand. That would be a big one

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan I regret to inform you that HY or no HY this game wouldn’t be a big deal for either program/fanbase either way. Northeastern game has some juice to it but not BU

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan A lot of interesting nuggets in that tweet!

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@PizzitolaFan It’s gotta be Hunt. I think you just put the best 5 out there and that’s plugging in Hunt and either Barbour or Ace-Nasteski. Maybe one of the three kids who de-committed would’ve started but alas

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

@whitakk lol oops thanks

@POWDER_9 Cut off at 2002 and not counting first four

Here’s a list of how every coach with a March track record has performed relative to seed expectations over their career.

Tom Izzo is a true outlier. Shaka Smart is… not great

[WilliamEzekowitz @wezekowitz]

Shaka Smart now at career -5.0 wins compared to seed expectation. No other active coach is below -3.0

March 18, 2005: 13-seed Vermont, beats 4-seed Syracuse 69-57 in OT in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Gus Johnson on the call.

“Sorrentine!!! Hit that one from the parking lot!”

San Diego State started today at 52 in the NET so this is actually a Quad 2 win for UNC
