31 women's basketball seasons as an NCAA program.
69 men's basketball seasons as an NCAA program.

In their 100th combined season, Air Force (the women's team, specifically) just took down #1 SDSU and #5 BSU as a nine seed to reach their first basketball conference championship game ever.

I don't think I'd properly processed before that we now have the American Conference playing its tournament in Birmingham, AL, and Conference USA playing its tournament in Huntsville, AL

and they both take place on almost exactly the same days as each other in WBB *and* in MBB

The pride and power of Iowa State basketball's Audi Crooks Audi Crooks hears the haters. But Iowa State's star inherited resilience from her mom and joy from her dad. Her high-scoring game is the ultimate counterpoint.

Spent some time in Iowa and went long on Iowa State’s Audi Crooks. Despite her dominance, she deals with a lot of negativity, especially about her body. But no matter what is said about her, Audi Crooks wears a smile. www.espn.com/womens-colle...

Sean Feucht: Never imagined a theologian I once looked up to would became (sic) so unblievably WOKE while weaponizing scripture to justify the illegal invasion of a sovereign nation.

He's QT'ing John Piper, who's quoting Leviticus 19:34: "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt; I am the Lord your God." Dale Partridge: "I love Dr. Piper, but this folly must stop. To correlate these instructions to Israel with the circumstances facing America is simply irresponsibile theology. Israel was never expected to allow such a number of foreigners that" blah blah blah Jamie Bambrick: "Me lookfor where this verse says we need to lose billions in welfare fraud and let" blah blah blah Brandon Lansdown: blah blah blah, who cares.

right wing pastors are screaming, crying, throwing up because John Piper posted a Bible verse on the everything app.

Washington's best result this week was a home win over 18-9 Oregon. Alabama's was a home loss to #10 Oklahoma.

Washington's worst result this week was a road loss to #15 Iowa. Alabama's was a road loss to 10-11 Texas A&M.

How did they drop the same number of spots in the AP Poll? One must wonder.

does it bother anyone else that KSU (-2.4 WAB) is a bubble team but Green Bay (-1.3 WAB) and San Diego State (0.0 WAB), who both beat KSU head-to-head, are not bubble teams

The SEC setting the WBB AP Poll record for ranked teams this week (10) would probably be more impressive if it hadn't also set the CFB AP Poll record for ranked teams (11) back in September, before proceeding to slip on ten consecutive banana peels during bowl season

Last year saw probably the worst overall season (two losses, entered playoff #6) that led to a consensus national championship.

This year saw arguably the best championship season (undefeated, wins vs #3, #5, #5, #10, #11) in football history.

Ohio State and Indiana...*in that order*.

Through three halves, Indiana is outscoring their opponents in the CFP by an average of 42 points per game.

There has been one win by 40+ points in the history of the CFP.
