    I didn’t have a ticket for the finals that day and in the hotel lobby I was asking around some of the Pitt administrators and staff if anyone had an extra ticket. One of the assistant coach’s wives tr

Yeah it was. She was like, well guess I gotta do this 

It's going to be delightful when WV beats Gonzaga and then Baylor gets to think they're the presumptive #1 for a couple of hours before Illinois beats them.

FS1.... 1pt game. Whisky & Marquette

Foul... free throws coming

Whisky 65      Marquette 64

Holy Shit...   Tip in off free throw miss for win

Marquette 67           #4 Whisky 65.    FINAL

It's official, College Basketball sucks this season.  Good Lord, getting your ass kicked by a Josh Pastner coached team.  Go coach the NY Liberty,  motherfucker. 

I despise the cocksuckers but the Heels play an entertaining style, something that Coach Constipation in LexVegas should take note of. 

“Hm, we lost 2 non conf games at home. We shouldn’t be playing!!!”

Damn, just a missed FT away from being a good night.  

Hard to think of any long-term successful championship winning coaches who are a bigger bitch than Krzyzewski.

My first thought after I read the Coach K headline was "Duke must suck this year"

I don't disagree and I do not like the man, as much as one can dislike someone I've never met but I do begrudgingly respect the guy. I suspect that if I were to insult his mother he would have no problem throwing down. So while he may be a bitch, he's no pussy. And I respect that. But fuck him. 

Watched a good piece on K's first class at Duke on the ACCN last night.  Good stuff, even took a jab at himself about the double standard he receives now after his double standard comment towards Dean and UNC early in his Duke career. 

Beautiful. 

Bahahaha

Zero fucks given by my boy Nate... 

 

First question at Oats next zoom call should be, "Would you have made that statement if Duke was in this conference and you had to play them this season?"

He's rather brash, talked some noise before his Bulls game with UK back in '18 NCAAT.  I'm a fan, hope he kicks ass at Bama. 

Luka Garza vs ISU:

17 minutes 

13-14 FG

6-7 3PM

34 points

scored 21 straight for Iowa before being pulled and sitting the rest of the game. i wish there were more throwback guys like him. what a beast. 

27-9 Irish...  the fuck am I doing this to myself?  

I'm praying for Covid...  either for myself or for Cal.

Keyontae Johnson hospitalized in critical condition after collapsing on court

 

hope the kid survives.  pure conjecture on my part but this looks a lot like one of those hidden heart issues that we normally only find out after they pass. So its good news to hear he is still fighting. 

Seems kind of fucked up they continued playing this game. Duke is cancelling games just because Coach K's panties are twisted around his nuts , and these guys have to finish out a game after witnessing that? Who knows, maybe they would prefer to play anyways.

It's fucking ridiculous they played another minute. Total lack of leadership.

Seasons gonna be canceled real quick if he’s found to have myocarditis from Rona 

Don't remember but was the game continued when Gathers collapsed?

He reportedly did have COVID earlier in the year, so it's possibly related. But nothing will nor should be canceled. If anything, the thousands of sporting events successfully played around the world should be evidence that the myocarditis risk is minimal.

It just needs to be screened for as much as possible, so it wouldn't be surprising if some players who had COVID decide to opt out if they can't get checked via MRI. Johnson is an NBA prospect so there's no way he would have retired despite the risk.

Dude if a guy dies from a preventable condition the NCAA is not risking the liability moving forward

Hopefully he’s fine and it was just a freak thing. And I’m not saying the risk is high. Just if this tragic incident occured due to myocarditis the season is done imo

You'd think it be a school liability more than NCAA.  

There have been barely any lawsuits for COVID deaths in 2020, much less successful ones (if any). It's too difficult to prove when and where someone caught the virus. And again, the lack of deaths and serious health problems among athletes at this point provides a ton of legitimate cover for the NCAA and pro leagues. In Johnson's case, it sounds like he had it well before the season and thus UF and the NCAA couldn't have prevented it anyway.

The season won't be stopping because of this incident, and so far it looks like cancellations/pauses aren't going to be prevalent enough to shut it down either. I doubt they hit the 75-85 percent completion rate of CFB though

From Wiki

Minutes after Gathers was taken to the hospital, the WCC commissioner suspended the game indefinitely.[30] ESPN broadcast graphic footage of Gathers's collapse on SportsCenter;[31] the network was at the game recording advance footage for the championship game it was scheduled to televise the next night. Late that night, the WCC canceled the tournament and awarded Loyola the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament due to its WCC regular season title.[32]

Nice inbound play by the Johnnies to tie Gtown @88 with less than a sec left on clock.  

Game on FS1 for those interested.

You're an idiot.

It’s concerning that they aren’t updating Keyontae’s condition. They said they flew his family into Tally Saturday and announced he was critical but stable. Silence since then. I hope I’m not reading too much into that.

Just saw this.  So armchair doctoring, would the medically induced coma and language like "following simple commands" lean more some kind of stroke or would some potential heart issue be treated in a similar way?
