Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
I enjoy watching Edey play - total throwback. Hope he lands somewhere in the NBA where he can settle in at 20 minutes a game off the bench and have a long long career. Why didn’t Painter go to the portal to sign a big to play 15 minutes a game? They ran Edey like a freakin mule this year. I get tha...

Re: NCAA Basketball 23-24
It seems like Calipari's fit at Kentucky has always been at least a little bit off. Once he said that the goal was to prepare his players for their NBA futures, it seemed like there was no coming back and smoothing over any bumps.

I just caught the last quarter in the sportsbook attached to the arena. It looked like the same thing as last year - a machine with 5 well-oiled parts vs. 1 superstar.

Thursday in a Tigers-Mets game, Hernandez called a strike on Torkelson, who was apparently being hit on the hand (replays made it look like the ball missed him and Torkelson was trying to get on base - this clip shows no change in flight of the ball). Hernandez called a strike without gesturing that...

And Bueckers' responsibility on the play includes waiting for the pick to be set to help avoid getting a whistle.
Not trying to pick on her, just making the point that the cutter/ballhandler has a responsibility avoiding illegal screens, too.

They closed schools for the day here because there is supposed to be just over one minute of full eclipse here that will coincide with our local elementary school releasing kids for buses and pick-up. Free glasses for our youngest, though (not sure about the middle school).
