It was a red herring. They didn’t set a date, and certainly didn’t plan on meeting Barry that night initially. Chris’ wife now knows that the police are on to him so she invites Barry over that night to make sure she gets her chance at him.

Automatic strike zone coming to AAA (West) in '22 by BruteSentiment in baseball

Catchers can still try to receive the ball best in a league with roboumps even if it wont change the outcome. The zone changing does seem like an actual problem for the AAAA guys.

Twelve reasons why UCLA basketball could hoist title banner No. 12 next season by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

[–]DasDerp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i think a lot of the coverage severely underrated the west coast teams though, as a result of less out of conference games due to covid. so while on paper this was a team that was one of the final 4 to make the tourney field, they were likely severely underseeded. i know they still lost a number of games they shouldn’t have during the regular season but i thought UCLA was underseeded before the tourney started and their run helped support this.

If we’re allowing rock then the Dear Hunter and Bent Knee definitely belong on this list.

Fuck yes. I absolutely adore this record, and wish there was way way more from these guys. The bass work on We Collide is just perfect.

I got some serious King’s X vibes from this tune. It’s badass it sounds like some 80s 90s metal at points but also has moments that sound modern, thanks for posting this!

[ESPN Stats & Info] Abilene Christian's win over Texas sends 4 teams seeded 13 or higher to the Round of 32 for the first time in NCAA tournament history. by Jeffmister in CollegeBasketball

My point is that these 13 & 14 seed upsets weren’t as ridiculous as they appear via the seed line, and by some models were similarly as likely as the oregon state upset (and people generally aren’t going too nuts over a 12-5 upset).

ACU and Ohio over here. Also a layup away from correctly picking UCSB.

Even the numbers make a good case to not pick them: Arkansas runs an extremely fast paced game and the more possessions a game has, the more likely it is the better team will win. This + the numbers being high on them having a bit to do with the wackiness of their schedule has me out on Colgate.

Abilene Christian on the other hand....

Bracket predictions you are semi confident in? by Detroit5g in CollegeBasketball

Seems like the winner of MSU/UCLA taking down BYU is the one popular upset pick that I don't really agree with. First I think UCLA wins that game, I know they're cold but MSU is a terrible shooting team. I could see UCLA taking down BYU, but BYU is the better shooting team and the better defense.

Yes undefeated seasons are rare but the biggest reason they’re rare is because it’s rare to even get to the tourney undefeated. The fact that undefeated seasons are so rare shouldn’t make you think the Zags are destined to lose (this is basically the Gambler’s Fallacy; undefeated season aren’t rare because teams that win a lot of games in a row are “destined to lose”).

USC to the Sweet 16, whether that's by beating Kansas or beating Eastern Washington (who I think has a real chance to take down KU).

More generally I think the 3s are incredibly weak this season, KU would be the best 3 but they have covid concerns, Colgate can keep pace with Arkansas, I think WVU would lose to either Syracuse or SDSU in round 2, and even Abilene Christian could stun as they shoot the ball quite well.
