I don’t know what the bracket will look like, but I used this opportunity to pick my top 4 teams in the country. Pretty much in agreement with consensus on it being Duke, Florida, Illinois, and UConn
Staff Final Four and champion predictions! Who do you think cuts down the nets in April?

Lashlee: "People storm the field when they beat us now in the ACC. That’s something in two and a half years. But we expect to win, and losing is never okay"
SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee lamented first half mistakes in the Mustangs’ loss to Syracuse “We gave them short fields in the first half. That’s a big reason why they had their 20 points at halftime”

Also said that Syracuse (a man heavy team) went Cover 2 and SMU’s inability to run the ball against it cost them. “We may be doing what we need to do, we’re just not doing it well enough, or they’re stopping us, doing their job better than us. I think we were prepared, they just played better than us in the areas they needed to”

After a Hatcher holding penalty wipes out a big play by Calvin Russell, Steve Angeli commits intentional grounding in the end zone. Orange give SMU free points and SMU will get the ball back. Syracuse has just one first down on its first four drives of the second half.

Syracuse takes a 20-10 lead into halftime against No. 19 SMU inside the Dome. The Orange have led by double digits in six of eight games this season. They are merely 2-3 in those games so far.

Will Wade is putting together a monster 2027 class
BREAKING: Five-star Xavier Young has committed to LSU and will reclassify into 2027, he told @PaulBiancardi. Young turned 16 in March, so he'll have to spend at least two years in Baton Rouge before heading to the NBA. Will Wade and LSU now have the No. 1 class in the country.

If he doesn’t throw V’s up with Jay Wright then his degree should be revoked
Pope Leo XIV bringing the jokes meeting with Villanova and Notre Dame 😂: “Growing up on the south side of Chicago, we oftentimes heard, “Go Irish!” But, as you all know, Prevost graduated from Villanova. So the Pope doesn't take sides. Prevost has another opinion, but we won't do that now.”
