I knew W&M making the tournament wasnβt super likely, but
I never want Georgia Southern to go a single day without playing a basketball game ever again
Sleep tight, Sphere. We have a lot of hoops coming up.
Mark Sears now joins Scottie Reynolds as the only two First Team AP All-Americans to not be drafted.
226 D1 teams shot better than the Hornets, Nets, and Wizards this year.
NBAβs offensive rating range: 121.88-106.79.
D1βs top 30 team offensive rating range: 125.0-115.4.
Not saying college players are better, thatβs silly, but itβs objectively good basketball even when compared to the NBA.
I straight up disagree.
Greater talent does not equal a greater product.
The rules of the college game creates a more interesting product. Teams actually run different systems and utilize different combinations of player archetypes.
The NBA is grossly homogenous comparatively.
College basketball supremacy
As for the other 4 teams:
β’Western Carolina last won in 1996
β’VMI last won in 1977
β’Mercer has not won the SoCon, but last won the ASUN in 2014
β’The Citadel has not won the SoCon, but last won the SIAA in 1927
2020: ETSU
2021: UNCG
2022: Chattanooga
2023: Furman
2024: Samford
2025: Wofford
Wofford is the 6th different SoCon tournament champion in 6 seasons.
Thatβs so SoCon.
Act accordingly.
Oh, hi? You're back over here? Happy to see ya!
Let's make this a great month for college hoops on Bluesky.
Here's a starter pack. I will add to this later this week. Finishing up a fun story right now I've been meaning to do for years. Can't wait to share later tonight.

Following the starter pack and waiting for hoops to start at 6pm today
Thatβs also bad, but no drafts was basically my dealbreaker.
March Madness officially starts right NOW!
Just making observations
Not great, Penny.
Abolish monitor reviews and never look back
College basketball must be extremely down right now.
All teams are just .500 in conference play this season.
Is this bad
The SEC has NINE teams in this weekβs Top 25.
They account for four of the top five.
Honestly, Iβve only ever truly enjoyed one Super Bowl halftime show in my life and it was Katy Perry 10 years ago.
It is so sick that Iβll be going to bed at a normal time after this
Chiefs are over party
Matthew McConaughey donβt be in a Super Bowl commercial challenge
This game was never entertaining enough for a Rothstein 2-star commitment post.
Earlier in this game my wife asked me if thereβs ever been a shutout in the Super Bowl.
I had to look it up, but the answer is no, there has never been a shutout.
I told her the Chiefs will score eventually.
Now Iβm not so sure.
