I think the men’s ncaa are figuring shit out. They’re now competing with Europe and g league for talent and I don’t think anyone’s figured out NIL yet. I think men’s basketball will rebound but even when they were strong, women’s ncaa has been selling out final four for a while now even without nearly the same caliber of superstars. Crazy how underwhelming superstar talent has been the past few years. [Reply]
Totally creepy. And inappropriate. But I generally think he was just doing some fanboy stuff and got caught in an awkward moment. Looking through this socials history, he just seems excited a team he’s covering is going to be relevant. But yeah, this might mean the end of his employment. [Reply]

Thanks. Have not followed Iowa BB much.
But---hmmm He works for the Pacers and she is on the Fever [Reply]

She ain't married to that chump so folks need to chill out :-) [Reply]
Breaking: Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark – the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft – is nearing a lucrative, eight-figure endorsement deal with Nike, per industry sources. Clark is set to receive her own signature Nike shoe.
Anyway I've seen a kid who has Clark's range from three but also has great shot creation and ball handling skills even at just 15 years old. She already has 20 plus college offers on the table too. Her name is Kaleena Smith. Incredible talent and I hope she gets to go against Juju before she leaves for the wnba.
BTW someone should start a womens basketball thread for those of us who will start watching it now :-) . [Reply]
I can't remember if it was Doyell or Dennis Dodd. But way back when the Chiefs squeaked into the 2006 playoffs at the last minute, one of them wrote a column about going out to eat that night and his waitress was excited about the Chiefs getting in. And he mocked this random woman in his column for being excited about her team. It was gross.
So fuck Gregg Doyell. Even though it might not have been him. He's a douche either way. [Reply]
