not to be a hater (i’m being a hater) but the diamond league moving from nbc/peacock ($6 a month) to flotrack ($30 a month) in 2025 may legitimately be the worst thing to happen to the sport i’ve seen since i started heavily following pro t&f

dj burns vs zach edey in the final four then edey vs donovan clingan for a national title - who says no?

[wheat bread🍞 @wheatbreadfan]

@GunvilleJohn i liked him at buffalo and i dont necesarily dislike him now but the brandon miller stuff last year i think was handled about as well as terrence shannon this year (that is to say, not ideally) and kind of makes me wary

i think it’s time to admit to ourselves that nate oats is an elite tier basketball coach

colorado state obliterated creighton in noncon plus beat colorado, washington, and bc. what are we even doing making them the last team in much less play in the first 4 at all

i really gotta hand it to the selection committee this year - pulled off the double whammy of upsetting both the non-ball knowers (ACC/BE fans who thought they deserved 6 schools in) and the ball knowers (by horrifically misseeding FAU/MichSt/TXa&m/entirety of the Mountain West)

[wheat bread🍞 @wheatbreadfan]

i personally had virginia and a&m out in favor of oklahoma and seton hall but the bubble was so good this year good teams were bound to miss no matter what the committe decided

very much enjoying the badgers new strategy of “score 103 before the final media timeout of the game”
