It's time now for all of our under-recruited "diamonds in the rough" that have now been found to get paid. First up: J.P. Estrella, a 6'11 big goes from Tennessee to Michigan. He's a "redshirt sophomore," which I presume means he finished a ******** undergrad degree and is transferring with 2...

Sucks for Luka. It was funny to hear the noise earlier this week about a player's union pushback regarding the 65/82 game requirement for post-season accolades. That was for Cade - Luca's campaign was never possible anyway. Regarding the game requirements: a lot of independent jewish lawyers...

What an epic outcome! I turned this game off before halftime - it was a certain outcome. I really whiffed by missing Braylon Mullins in my preview. I haven't been keeping tabs on the internet "draft boards" - mostly a year of Test Tube Freaks, as usual - but it would be great if Mullins came...

I don't care for chick fights, but this KO -> sub was pretty sweet!

TEST TUBE FREAKS!!! Hmmm, an awful lot of commercials with Duke's Boozer brothers during this week's game intermissions. They are definitely earning more than just what Duke's university-associated NIL collective is paying out. "From the mouths of babes" is a common turn of phrase. In this...

Mac is trending on Twitter tonight. Apparently, he became the top career points-scorer in G-League history: I don't recall seeing this from last month: Mac recorded the dunks he "would have" done in the Dunk Contest this season. I am assuming he monetized this content in some way that exceeded...

Coaching carousel updates: Randy Bennett of St. Mary's has been hired by Arizona State Gerry McNamara of Siena has been hired by Syracuse Scott Cross of Troy has been hired by Georgia Tech All three of these coaches made the tournament with "white-friendly" rotations and rosters. None of the...

I didn't realize that the Miami (FL) coach Jai Lucas was the only black head coach in the round of 32! Whitlock doesn't count Houston's Kelvin Sampson (I sure do though), who calls himself Native American. There were nine other black head coaches in the field of 68; none of them made the 2nd round.

Darling's layup seals St. John's tournament win over Kansas (reminder that this is the only white player on the team)

Iowa vanquishes Florida tonight at the death. Alvaro Folgueiras, the sixth man from Spain (possibly Basque?) puts in the dagger before the final bell. Florida can't respond in time. I'll be interested to see what kind of team Todd Golden fields next year.

Backup guard Dylan Darling finds himself on the floor for some reason at the end of the St. Johns / Kansas game. He's the only white player that's been on the court for some time now... foul trouble to the starters? He decides to end the game himself.

4 seed Nebraska's win was closer than it needed to be over 5 seed Vandy. Substitute Braden Frager (a true freshman, and you can guess how low his high school recruiting ranking was) finished strong. Vanderbilt almost won it for the bad guys at the buzzer: A great Madness set of moments!
