-gotta stay occupied somehow when retired, I reckon.
As a refugee from the Nutmeg State, I swear half the obituaries of 80 year old men in the CT newspapers include, "and was a great supporter of the UCONN Women's Basketball team". Probably explains a lot about the state. A lot has changed in the 30 years since I've been gone.

Not exactly the same thing because it's not like a lifetime friendship was formed but my aunt and uncle swear by what a great guy Isiah Thomas is because he took time to interact with my disabled cousin. They've gotten really upset a couple of times when it has come up and I tell them it's not just a Hoosier thing but no one really likes Thomas. I also have an uncle who bragged 25 years ago that he hung out with Sam Peckinpah's nephew at a party. That's a pretty random 3rd hand unproveable brush with celebrity.

Had no idea there was a four year post season ban for teams that move into D1 basketball

Apparently Bellarmine is in year 2 of the ban and won the Atlantic Sun Conference

but stays home as another team takes their place

FOUR YEARS??????

I’m embarrassed to say I can’t recall the last time I haven’t been blacked out drunk for an NCAA tournament night game outside of the 1st round due to anxiety. I had no recollection who won the 2014 UL sweet sixteen game until I woke up and checked the score and watched the recording. I was watching and cheering just dont recall. It’s pretty ridiculous how nervous I get for NCAA games, especially when we’re good. I’ll be a mess this year.

This Peter Kiss dude is straight out of central casting. I mean, I’ve witnessed some in-game douchebaggery but this SOB. He could be a teen movie villain- like the dude from Encino Man.

NCAA final in 2014 is at best a bit in and out. I remember waking up the next morning glad the neighbors didn't call 911 to report a home invasion/confrontation.

The worst for me was the 1996 Final 4 game against Umass. I was wreck because they had beat us in the regular season. Got blackout drunk upstairs at The Family Dog and apparently according to my girlfriend(now wife) charged at the TV at every basket and foul call. Pretty much was alone at the end because I was so obnoxious. Passed out in the bathtub when I got home. Not my finest but was sober during the championship game because of that performance.

Pippen is one of my favorite SEC players in a long time

I’m sure some of it has to do with Vandy being terrible and never a real threat during his time, but he’s just an exceptional college PG.

Dribble always alive, and virtually impossible to hurry.

Hate his dad with fury, but love and respect his game.

No clue what the draft order will be, but I hope Jordan drafts him and ruins his career out of spite.
