Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Sean will be here in, like, a few hours. See ya.

A wire-to-wire (foul-fest, timeout-filled, commercial-break heavy) battle ended in Jim Boeheim making a number of very Jim Boeheim faces and a relatively easy call for the refs: Jordan Morgan taking a charge from Brandon Triche with 20 seconds left, which, in hindsight, finished off Syracuse. Michigan rode Mitch…

Down 12 with 13:15 remaining, Louisville clawed back with defense that changed the game's atmosphere from "celebratory" to "panic attack," and hit just enough shots to surpass a Wichita State team whose game plan gradually fell apart in the final minutes. Of course, the comeback might not be the story of one the best…

BREAKING: Clark Kellogg has said "value-tility" twice. Like versatility, but for value. We will keep you updated.

Bored by the grind-it-out first half? You're having a better time than Mike Lupica.

Woo-ooooh, Final Four. Talk here if you're sticking around, tell us where and why you've placed your bets, console each other if there's a horrific injury. No idea why these teams made it as far as they did? See here, it's good.

The full video interview from Stephen Jackson's Forbes smackdown is online. There aren't a whole lot of people in the world that could make bragging about making $10 million seem appropriate, much less charming, but Port Arthur's own pulls it off. [NBA.com]

Our resident videographer is off today, so we'll have to make do with this until more replays pop up, ideally in slow motion and looped for all eternity: Nats. Reds. Bases empty, Werth at bat. Sam LeCure on the mound. Werth swings at the first pitch he sees. Deep right-center. Man. Baby. Ball. No glove, no hesitation.

Did you know Wichita State Shockers eighth or ninth man Nick Wiggins is the older brother of LeBron-in-waiting Andrew Wiggins? Now you do!

More athletic directors in the news! Northern Kentucky University dismissed Scott Eaton, once an athletic administrator at Brown and a member of the NKU department since 1998, for undisclosed reasons in early March. As we learned late yesterday, Eaton was guilty of "inappropriate, intimate relationships with four…

Of course, the Lakers don't play tonight.

Eric Murdock's wrongful termination suit against Rutgers, filed yesterday, alleges his firing came as a "direct result of Mr. Murdock's complaints and report of Defendant Rice's unlawful conduct." Murdock's lawyers aren't the first to allude to Rice's iffy legal standing: On Wednesday, a columnist for the Daily News …

Forbes featured Stephen Jackson on a list of the NBA's "most overpaid" players yesterday. A reporter mentioned the honor to Jackson this morning. Jackson apparently knows better than to worked up over that sort of thing.

Wichita State: What is it? A university named after a city with a population of less than 400,000—and which isn't even the capital (of Kansas)—Wichita State hasn't enjoyed the surge of interest around the school that accompanied March Madness upstarts like Florida Gulf Coast, or Harvard. Even after the Shockers'…

Major League Baseball, an organization with massive revenues and a squadron of high-priced lawyers, filed against the wrong person—just, flat out, the wrong guy—in its (specious) claim against Biogenesis, forcing the falsely accused Miami-area salesman to retain a lawyer for his defense. This mix-up occurred,…

Chris Davis: four games, 9/15 on 18 plate appearances, four homers, .600 batting average, 1.600 slugging percentage, and 16 RBI, breaking the old record of 12 through the season's first four games. Now where can I get me some of that sweet, sweet monkey dust?

Amar'e Stoudemire, himself synonymous with scratched retinas, torn-up knees and uninsurable contracts, was emotionally blackmailed this week by a pushy contractor working for the University of Louisville's marketing department, and subsequently donated $2,500 to that department so it could invest in 1,000 "big heads"…
