What's the opening gimmick this year?
Since the Final Four is in New Orleans, perhaps a Mardi Gras theme?
I've got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left-hand side.
Bradley-Terry rankings for college football and basketball: because there aren't enough computer rankings already.
And with such handsome, charming, knowledgeable company!

I hope he gets the whole men's team
To back him as he serenades Suzy Merchant with “You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’”
Nix looks so different from 2 years ago
"the game is out there, and it's play or get played. That simple" - Omar
Dawson aces the eye test
Trice is intriguing- Very smooth, lots of range on the J
Byrd is very active- I hope his foot holds up, oddly he has a strange shooting motion or maybe the foot has caused some changes
Nix & Payne- very active also, hope they can keep it up with the expanded minutes they’ll play
Pre premature concern from a meaningless scrimmage played at half speed during the graveyard shift – Gauna’s post defense

So happy to hear that!!!
I’m really looking forward to the impact from all the newcomers, Guana & Byrd included.
Spartyball
Byrd and Trice were two of the most impressive players. Granted, defensive was not emphasized so I have no feel for them as defenders. Trice was a bomber as you saw and nailed multiple threes, one from NBA range.
Byrd was super active and I don’t doubt that he’s 6’7. His attacking of the glass and ferl for tips was quite a surprise. He’s going to help and we could be quick and athletic enough to play alongside Dawson on the wing.
My crew was lucky enough to be very close to one of the entrance stairs for the players. Nix looks absolutely great in person. It’s incredible. A breakout year from him is possible and would be very welcome.

4 letter networkU
just showed about a minute of footage of our game, looked kind of ugly.
Guana bricked a 3 pretty badly, the commentators made fun of him. Payne offensive board, he hit a jumper from the FT line that clanged off of every part of the rim.
Other end of the court, Day-Day bricked a j, then back on the other end Bryd clanked a 3 off the front iron.
Izzo interview was so awesome, though
