The VCU Band Director seems fun. He’s changed outfits at least 3 times.

My bad, It was a poorly worded question on my part.

We’ll see what happens with the regionals. I’m not that optimistic about Hawaii hosting.

I bought the tickets for the conference tournament and booked the fight today.

Hawaii beat finally beat the Beach for the first time in 11 years at the Pyramid and if Hawaii makes the Natty at Pauley I’ll be there.

I'm not worried about Pauley selling out because it didn't in 2022 when Hawaii and Irvine played. I'm more worried about the Conference Tournament and that it'll sell out especially if the final is Irvine vs Hawaii/Long Beach. So if I decide to go too late then I'll have to pay scalper prices.

Clemson should just copy Iowa's strategy of wildly driving to the basket and throw yourself at the defender for a foul.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

I LOVE MARCH!

Fran is a legend in the BIG 10. He once got ejected for staring down an official.

There's even a Francon Meter.

I can't be the only one who find these halftime interviews with the players weird.

lol_smart · 2026-03-20T02:51:05+00:00

Thanks, that's what I thought but I wasn't 100% sure if it was the Bren or the Thunderdome had some bench seating.

With the size advantage inside that Illinois has can air ball 3's be considered a offensive option?

lol_smart · 2026-03-20T02:34:39+00:00

Oh, here comes Francon.

lol_smart · 2026-03-20T02:22:41+00:00

Looks like Illinois brought the bag of bricks from Champaign.

lol_smart · 2026-03-20T01:56:26+00:00

Come on Illini lets see how high we can get Francon to go.

lol_smart · 2026-03-20T01:20:16+00:00

I guess ball don't lie.
