I am curious if at some point Juwan Howard will explain why it was OK for him to put on a full court press against the backups in a 15 point game but not OK for Greg Gard to call time out to help his guys beat it.

Textbook example of how to make a bad situation worse.
Chennedy Carter, given a chance to explain herself postgame, says "next question."
Then later, "I ain't answering no Caitlin Clark questions."
Coach Teresa Weatherspoon stepped in: "That's enough. We're good."
Disappointing press conference. Accountability lacking.

And I don't want to hear people say "this is why we should get rid of handshake lines." If you can't handle a handshake line, you shouldn't be in college athletics.

I am concerned because I am hearing reports of a mass epidemic of a terrible 48-hour virus that has people not showing up for work or school today. Hope everyone is feeling okay!!! Take care of yourself, get your rest, nothing more important than your health.

Not just textbook. Obvious. Clear. Not even a question. And I was among those who initially thought it was a bad call because I only saw the close/upper body reply. This is not even a debate. It. Was. A. Foul.

I’m glad Skip Bayless said what he said. Reveals his ignorance and will provoke a much needed discussion about mental health in sports. People who think admitting you struggle amounts to weakness needs to be dragged out of the dark ages.

1. Gard should not have called time out.
2. Gard should not have put his hands on Howard.
3. Krabbenhoft should not have escalated.
4. Howard throwing a slap/punch was inexcusable and calls for severe repercussions.
All these things can be true.

The more I see the video, the more disturbing it is. This is why Woody Hayes was fired. Juwan Howard needs to be suspended for multiple games. As I mentioned, this is not the first time this has happened with him and another coach. Zero excuse.

Man this one really got to me. I used to love watching Blues Clues with my boys. Now two of them are in college.
Don’t believe social media or what anyone tells you. EVERYONE is struggling. Everyone is fighting adversity. We are all in this TOGETHER. So please be kind to everyone and most of all to yourself. And if you are really hurting please don’t be afraid to ask for help. There is nothing stronger than the willingness to be vulnerable.
Just watched Steve from Blue's Clues on Tiktok, checking up on his audience who were just innocent kids and now are adults. And I read the comment section.. 😭😭

On a day when the owner of this platform said he wanted to put on his tombstone that he never went to therapy, this young man has shown incredible courage. It’s not easy to share your pain but it’s the only way through. He is doing it to help others. Please read!!!
Those of you who follow New Mexico basketball may have noticed I haven’t been playing or anyone who knows me may have noticed I have been so distant from everyone and there is a good reason for that.
I have struggled with depression off and on since high school. I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety in 4th grade. I was put on medication to help with school and only took it during school (summers and weekends off) I was told my medication had a slight antidepressant in it. Since my depression wasn’t constant and would come and go my parents just helped me through it, thinking my medication would help.
Last spring, after taking a medical redshirt, trying to recover from surgery, and learning how to balance school with a tough travel schedule my depression showed up in a big, bad, scary way! I went home after school got out, got into my doctor, and started on an antidepressant.
I returned to UNM for summer and fall and killed it in practice. Was earning playing time and showing signs of having a great season. However, in late September I started spiraling into a dark place again. My coaches noticed a dramatic change. I would call me several times a day to my mom in just a complete meltdown. I couldn’t make it through a practice without breaking down in tears. I couldn’t function, stopped doing homework, lost interest in basketball, and was going down a dark path to the point where I was questioning if I should even be here. My coaches called my mom and said she needed to come and be with me. She was on a plane the next day and spent 4 days in Albuquerque. I went to see the team doctor and learned my ADHD medication and depression medication were canceling each other out. For about 6 months I wasn’t getting any medication. I got on a new medication that worked with my ADHD meds and got in with the sports therapist. Slowly but surely I started to feel like myself again. Then the start of the semester came and anxiety attacks kicked in. They would hit me out of the blue. They were almost crippling and exhausting. So back to the doctor I went and decided it was time to stop the ADHD meds - too much stimulation. Now I am about 2 months ADHD meds free. Grades are still good and I feel like myself again. I still take an antidepressant every day but I am in such a better place!
Through all of this, I missed practices and games. My coaches, teammates and everyone involved in Lobo basketball put me in a protective cocoon and took great care of me and I couldn’t be more thankful for them. My coaches decided to limit me to make sure I was mentally healthy. I've handled it the best way possible and I understand their decision because I know what a dark scary place I was in.
You change from here.
I am so grateful that I reached out for help. I knew I could call my parents, coaches, and teammates at any time. Most people (young kids and young adults especially) don’t have that. Most don’t dare to reach out and ask for help. I hope someone reading this will see that it can happen to anyone, even kids who are living out their dreams. Everyone needs help at some point.
So there it is. That is the big story and mystery as to why I haven’t been on the floor and why I have been so distant from everyone. I have accepted that I have an invisible injury that I am fixing and is well on the mend! I will be back in a Lobo jersey next year!

Big respect to Tommy Lloyd for criticizing Long Beach State for firing Dan Monson with no time left on his contract. No severance, no health benefits. He's been there 17 years. They need to do better by him.

Those buses were carrying the Gonzaga basketball team, who arrived to play in the Sweet Sixteen. This elected public official has not apologized or taken down the tweet.
Happening right now. Three busses just loaded up with illegal invaders at Detroit Metro. Anyone have any idea where they’re headed with their police escort? @petehoekstra
Community note
This is the Gonzaga men’s basketball team, not a group of migrants.
The police escort is taking them to the NCAA Men’s Sweet Sixteen.

If you decide a foul isn't a foul because the game is tied with a couple of seconds left, then you are giving the defensive team an unfair advantage. Refs don't "decide" a game by calling a foul. The player decides it by fouling. Not the way anyone wanted that game to end.

UNC lost by 17 to Tennessee, by 29 to Kentucky, by 27 to Miami, by 21 to Wake Forest, and by 20 to Duke. On Feb 16 they lost at home to Pitt by 9 to fall to 10-5 in the ACC w/ one Quad 1 win. Now they need to beat a 15 seed to get to the Final Four.
Because college basketball.

The year before he was hired at Duke, Coach K went 9-17 at Army.
Roy Williams was the third assistant at UNC when he was hired by Kansas.
Tom Izzo had never been a head coach when he was hired at Mich State.
Jay Wright never won a tourney game at Hofstra.
Carry on BBN.

Calipari going to Arkansas is one of those seismic shifts that is good for all parties. He needs a fresh start and so does Kentucky.
Kentucky needs to back up the Brinks truck for Nate Oats. This is a no brainer. He has an 8 figure buyout but he’s worth it and Kentucky has the money.

Virginia gets dunked on because their system is too slow and conservative. Alabama gets dunked on cause it plays too fast and takes too many threes. Purdue is too slow, Gonzaga is in a bad conference blah blah blah.

How come we never see court storms at NBA games? Are those fans more measured? Less enthusiastic? No it’s because the NBA lets everyone know that if you step on the court you will leave the arena in handcuffs. It’s really that easy.

I think and hope people understand the difference between picking games and taking personal shots. To disrespect a coach by saying his counterpart is "licking his chops" is ludicrous. Muss is as good as there is and he's a great dude to boot. WPS!
