Rupp Arena’s scoreboard is not equipped for Fedor Žugić name.

We will watch the Crown but no else should.

They gentrified the NIT

Seems like the Crown bracket was made to intentionally keep Georgetown and DePaul away from each other. The fourth meting between the Hoyas and Blue Demons can only happen in the championship game.

All I wanted was Georgetown having to travel to Fairfax but something called the Crown unfortunately exists.

George Washington's press release on the Crown includes this important nugget:

The tournament will also feature an NIL prize fund that totals $500,000 for the semifinalists and finalists.

It's an old Big East matchup in the Crown when DePaul and Cincinnati face off in the first round.

When I saw this pairing I was immediately taken back to the 2009 BET when the 0-18 Blue Demons upset the Bearcats in the first round.

I am not a college basketball serious professional but is there any reason why I should look at the field for the Crown basketball tournament in Vegas thing and not feel like its a giant fucking bummer?

The NIT got kneecapped for this thing?!?

The 1987 Grammy nominees for best R&B performance by a group. Prince’s “Kiss” won over Sade, Run DMC, Ashford and Simpson, Cameo, and the Chicago Bears Shuffling Crew

Sorry but whenever I think about the Grammys my brain immediately jumps to the fact that they nominated The Chicago Bears for “best R&B Performance by a group”

@benstandig.bsky.social reminds of a hire Maryland should have made years ago. Now I'm not saying they are small but certainly fit into the struggling category

Georgetown gets a reality check in a lopsided loss to Notre Dame The Hoyas’ inexperience was evident in an 84-63 loss against the Fighting Irish.

The @postsports.bsky.social gamer from the District, where Georgetown looked its age while getting throttled by Notre Dame to fall to 2-1.
