@bryguy2724 @BigGameBoomer Ole Miss at Tulane would have been fun. Both teams ranked. They have never been to Tulane. Game sold out. It would have been a good atmosphere in New Orleans. It is always fun when they go to a new place.

@barstoolsports @BussinWTB @_willcompton FAU was one of the best teams in college basketball from November until the end. Just because they aren’t a brand name doesn’t mean that in this particular season they were not exceptional. They were.

@TWDTV1 @sluggahjells Could go either way but defender invaded her space, was not set and was still moving forward toward Clark when Clark initiated a move. I'd lean toward defensive foul.

@franfraschilla On the play of your season, you have to execute! UConn didn’t, and shouldn’t have been rewarded for that by not calling an obvious foul caused by that lack of execution. Players DID decide the game.

@EmmanuelAcho The players DID decide the game. They failed to execute basic basketball on their biggest set of season, resulting in obvious and blatant foul for advantage. No different than if they had taken 7 steps without dribbling. Error of execution, not officiating.
