2025 WOMEN’S Hoops Tournament
Paige Bueckers with 31 points, 6 assists, 4 steals, 3 rebounds the game after having 40 points, and that game came after a game she had 30+ points. She’s okay. I thought that UCONN should have been a 1 seed… and I guess that I was vindicated.

Welcome to Wrexham
Good to know. I am looking to get a Eurail pass tonight while they are still 15% off and need to figure out if I get a pass for 10 or 15 days over a 2 month period or just buy a full month or 2 month unlimited. The plan is to also visit a bit of Germany and then hopefully some Spain and dip into Portugal and France from there. Big eyes, limited plans for now.

Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: It's Miller Time
I’m not too much older than you. I don’t mind change. I do get bummed when changes make things worse rather than different or better. People don’t fill out NBA playoffs for a reason… those playoffs don’t deviate much from the seedings. And in a 7 game series, unless the refs have a betting interest in the outcome/despise a team owner, the better team will win. The unpredictability of the outcomes made the tournament pure madness. The madness that occurs during the NBA Playoffs is is most likely go to be caused by boredom. I will still watch, if I’m living in the States, but I feel that it won’t be as entertaining as before. The tournament’s “Cinderella” (Arkansas) was #16 in the preseason poll. That’s pretty pitiful.

Texas Basketball Recruiting Notes: It's Miller Time
I will say it here and again, I am sure, elsewhere. THE TRANSFER PORTAL IS THE DEMISE OF THE “MADNESS” OF MARCH. We have 4 #1s in the Final Four. The #1s had to beat 3 #2s and a #3 to advance. All of the top teams in Boys AND Girls basketball are littered with transfers. I think that we are witnessing the end of the Madness and don’t care because we are basically a “Have”. But it was the “Have Nots” that made the tournament crazy and fun. That’s pretty much over.

Reading this in the middle of the night, I thought that you were referring to a medical center shown during a “Here at UCLA, we have facilities that…” commercial and one of the locations was a medical center used in “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”. Then I reread it and realized that you were talking about CHIEF.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
He looks like a Center Back in soccer ⚽️ or maybe the manager for a high school basketball team 🏀. Nice guy, good student, and possibly plays the cello in his high school orchestra. (Of course he is 1st chair cello.)

2025 ATP/WTA thread
Novak looked like he was melting out there on the court. He has major issues with cramping early in his career and then became one of the slowest and most deliberate players the sport has ever seen as the years went on. (Novak & Rafa were why the serve clock was invented.) I checked the temperature… …not so bad. Then my brother asked me about the humidity. Novak was always going to lose this match after losing the first set tiebreaker. No way could he go 3 sets and win against someone half his age.

2025 NCAA Tournament - Sweet 16/Elite 8
If the 9 year-old is a boy and wins, you had better have “The Talk” before you hand over the money, because otherwise that kid is going to immediately spend it all on Ho’s & Blow. 🥸

Welcome to Wrexham
I will be in Wales in late June and then am perhaps going to roam around Britain for a bit, so I may pass through Wrexham. I won’t have a car, and won’t be close, but it would be fun to seen some of the filming locations and cast of The Wrexham Show.

Talking about Hauch (Florida) hitting 3s late in the game: Announcer #1: “He’s made more money this week than Steve Jobs!” Announcer #2: “Well, we know that.”

I’m fairly certain that We used to dance to this song at middle school dances. I feel like freshman year I remember some friends mentioning that they had seen The Judys at that concert venue the year before and I remembered “Oh yeah, they sing ‘Guyana Punch’.” Think I knew the basics of the story, but mainly I remembered it as a soft slow song where everyone ducked low and waited for the explosion of energy to jump up and bounce around, mirroring the energy of that segment of the song. It was a great middle school dance song.- Texas @ Missouri Series Thread

White guy from Ole Miss (1) Traveled (2) Dribbled once (3) Traveled again… Then shot the ball and made it and the announcers loved it… and the red did not call it. Traveling has become completely arbitrary. It is like OL holding. Whenever the refs want to affect the game, they can either call it or not, but the actual rules don’t matter anymore- 2025 WOMEN’S Hoops Tournament
Refs doing their part to ensure that South Carolina advances, from no call on SC travel for a layup, a travel by an SC girl who went to the floor being called as a 5th foul on a Maryland post player, to a questionable charge on a Maryland girl as the SC girl may not have even had one foot down and she was sliding to stay in front of the Maryland girl, to a Maryland travel as a stationary player was starting to dribble to make her move. That’s a player fouling out and about a 6 point swing right there. - The Downfall of Craig James
