expects obvious bad call

Wow what an excellent call. Maybe a bit lucky to get it right, but that player was so out of control that the attempted push applied zero force. He was flying in there on his own. Smart to recognize that by the ref.

I don’t really see much of a push here. If anything Markkanen was trying to hook him back near the foul line to prevent him from attacking the boards. Seems to me Hunter jumped up and flailed to try and get a call. (Edited to spell Markkanen correctly)

Yes. Thank you. I’m aware of how tournaments actually work. But if Wisconsin was a 5 seed, they would not have met Villanova until the Sweet 16, as opposed to the second round. A team that has earned a number 1 seed should not have to face a team as good as Wisconsin in the first weekend with nothing more than a…

The committee seriously needs to do a better job of seeding, and turn to shit other than RPI/who-did-you-beat as criteria when seeding teams. The primary factor in seeding teams ought to be, uh, HOW GOOD THE TEAM ACTUALLY IS, and things like RPI and strength of schedule and quality wins only tell you so much. …

When I saw the tied up woman I assumed it was Baylor.

That’s a lot of effort to tell everyone you’re going to go 8-5 and then lose in the Del Boca Vista Phase II Bowl

I choose to believe the committee left Syracuse out because Boeheim is a tremendous asshole, even by the NCAA’s standards.

That’s not how statistics works.

Literally my worst fucking nightmare every single time I take off or land. Glad they’re OK

Coming this summer.

Al Davis is clawing his way out of the grave to draft this guy.

Plus, how the hell are they going to run up and down the sidelines with high heels on?

I’ve wondered this same thing - I find their use of this word to be incredibly grating. I ran through the Deadspin’s archives in order to try see if I could find any answers. I ended up tallying the usage of the word by year and by author. Unfortunately, I didn’t come up with any concrete explanations for this trend,…
