Do you guys remember when Nate Oats tried to gaslight the whole country and blow up the NCAA so he could play a solid rim-running center for five games, anyway new Bubble Watch went up today

Huge win for Indiana. If I was a Wisconsin fan my head would be on Mars

Unbeaten Miami (Ohio) plays at Marshall today. The Redhawks are both a hugely enjoyable story and apparently designed in a lab to break bracket people's brains (especially in a post-WAB world):

There are Indiana football diehards who stuck it out forever, who deserve tonight more than anyone. But I’d guess there are millions of people like me: once enthusiastic, long since lapsed, now unimaginably all in.

Thank you! Also I agree

This week's BURP wants to go on the record: The NCAA Tournament is not, in fact, a joke.
(But the CFB discourse is starting to scare us.)
That, seasonal procrastinators, and much more on this week's episode with Tate Frazier:

Barkley on NIL/portal: "There's no job in the world where you get to be a free agent every year"
I love Chuck but I don't think he knows how most jobs work
Remember when college basketball had "no great teams?" That's over now

The latest in the Buzzer preview series -- on what should be a really fun edition of the Big Ten, with a handful of new coaches adding yet more more tactical variety -- is here. Offseason finish line in sight!

I never thought it would happen to me
Indiana football is a source of unironic joy
Wrote about something that hadn't occurred to me until the podcast earlier this week: In the portal era, it's now part of a program's job to connect new players with fans.

I competed in College Basketball Jeopardy with the brilliant @eamonnbrennan.bsky.social and @ksweeneycbb.bsky.social. It’s one of the most competitive games of jeopardy I can remember, which means you gotta stick around the whole time youtu.be/Aa6ZzIyRavI

Happy @basketunderreview.bsky.social opening day. Would you like to hear @eamonnbrennan.bsky.social and @kenpom.com talk NCAA Tournament expansion? I assume you would. (Presented by Homefield!!!) open.spotify.com/episode/4gSV...

The first episode of the podcast is upon you — talked to Ken Pomeroy about tournament expansion and his secret double life as a touring indie artist of the same name (and much more).
On all the usual podcast places. Give it a spin!

The best argument I've seen in favor of tournament expansion goes something like "ah, c'mon, it probably won't be that bad." That's not a good reason to do anything!
