Jalen Suggs is the counter argument to HS kids going to the G League. He has raised his draft stock all season, has elevated his national profile with exposure and just became a legend. College basketball still has a LOT to offer kids, especially once name/image/likeness passes

Hurley on the gameplan: "We didn't want to give up 3's. We didn't care if Edey took 25, 28 shots to get 35 points. The gameplan was no Smith, no Loyer, no Gillis, no Jones. Keep that collective to under 20 points as a group and they had no chance to win no matter what Edey did."

Marquette wins the Big East regular season title outright - its first in program history - and there’s a real chance the Golden Eagles earn their highest NCAAT seed ever. Shaka Smart might be the National Coach of the Year

If LeBron ends up leaving Cleveland, I think we can see the exact moment he made up his mind. #NBAFinals

There’s so much about the Juwan Howard thing that looks awful on him. He’s mad about a timeout that was called as a result of him pressing backups/walk-ons. He threw an open hand punch/grab that started a melee. You can’t do that in general, but you CANNOT do that as head coach

The CW just switched from the end of a tied Duke-Georgia Tech game to a rerun of King of Queens. Stayed that way for a minute or two before it switched back to the game. WHAT IS HAPPENING

Dutcher on why he has stuck with San Diego State for so long: "I didn't want to move every 2/3/4 years. I didn't want to have the military lifestyle. Sometimes you're so worried about your next job that you don't enjoy the job you have."

Kansas State is now 0-8 in Elite Eight games since last making the Final Four in 1964. The last three losses have come against non-power conference competition: Butler (5-seed in 2010), Loyola-Chicago (11-seed in 2018) and now FAU (9-seed in 2023).
