It's our tournament to lose now

I thought it was a majority vote and the football schools (FSU, Clemson, Miami) plus and bitter ex-BE schools didn't want us. Being more attractive to the football schools could have made BC and Syracuse's sour grapes irrelevant.

How did UMass get good this quickly

The foul on Guy was a foul but a foul on a 3pt shot as time expires just isn't the sort of thing that gets called in that situation. Recall too that now in addition to the double dribble the refs missed a lane violation on Jerome on the deliberate missed FT against Purdue.

Obviously in a close game like 10 things if changed would have altered the outcome. The missed FTs are at the top of the list, and second is no rebound on the deliberate miss, but I also don't love Painter's decision to foul up 3. That's just me. You can't control who gets a rebound, even with...

They are talking about Wyoming winning a national championship too (in 1943) and then asking what's the big deal about UConn's championships. This actually does call attention to the fact that they have the same number of NCAA tournament titles (i.e since 1939) as Wyoming. So maybe the better...

Why doesn't he just read ads on the air if he needs money to "pay for" (?) the app (e.g. like Clay Travis on Periscope)? This looks like a big money grab.

Notice that Stanford sponsors more sports than just about any other school. If you want to know why they keep winning this, there's your answer. Consider: Stanford places 2nd in women's water polo (34 teams sponsor it) and gets 90 points. Mississippi State places 2nd in women's BB (350 sponsor...

Francesa is now tweeting and they read like Trump tweets.

Um...

This stuff about the app is bizarre. It sounds like a post-hoc justification for coming back.

How long until Mike takes off three months for summer vacation?

I thought he was sort of done with daily radio. He talked about how it was too much to do a 5.5 hour show by himself every day, etc., etc. I thought it was going to become a weekly thing. Apparently Russo offered him a spot on his Sirius channel, but I doubt Francesa wanted to effectively work...

I like Mike, but what is WFAN going to do during Francesa retirement 2.0? He was never going to be easy to replace. (Although when I tuned into CMB and Gray was talking about why the World Series shouldn't be called the World Series, because it doesn't involve the entire world, I'd had enough.)...

Mike has never said he plays outside NYC. He's had plenty of chances to take his show national and didn't, probably because he knows that it won't work. It's a New York show.

ND isn't interested in joining the Big Ten over the ACC because, frankly, the Big Ten doesn't bring much to the table for ND as compared to the ACC. And the same is true for UConn. Just focusing on the sports UConn is good at and/or are nationally "important," I would say that the ACC is...

Would it make sense to review the number of FTs shot by the UConn and ND in the past several meetings? Because there aren't many games where ND has an advantage. April 2014: 15/10 UConn December 2014: 21/11 UConn April 2015: 8/7 ND December 2015: 24/10 UConn December 2016: 20/8 UConn December...

I guess if the Patriots had moved to Hartford...then 2004 would count for Nantz's data point.

ND did find a way to score with 3 seconds left, as I recall.

So do you think that if every call throughout the entire game were made correctly, MSU would have shot more FTs than ND? And would have made more FTs than ND? Because I don't. There is no reason to fixate on a call or non-call that happened in the last minute as opposed to one that happened in...

Losing wins affects the record books (both in terms of total number of wins and all-time win %). Many people care about those things. And what are the other examples of ND being on the right side of controversial decisions?

Lol. How many wins did UNC basketball vacate following their fake classes scam?

Shall we go through every missed call in the game? Everything that happens during the game counts toward the final score, not just things that happen in the final minute. (And even if we only look at the final minute, ND hit a 3 with 3 seconds left. So they still would have won, unless you're...

MSU was 10-17 from the line. ND was 15-17. If you had a gallon of gas for every FT Kentucky missed against us in 2011 and 2014 you could drive to Lexington. Make FTs and you'll win games.

You're sure he wasn't being self-effacing?

ESPN is reporting that Pitt is now offering 2.5 billion!

I also want to announce that I am not a candidate for the Pitt job

Surely we can land Miller for $100,000.

He certainly has a sort of name required to be a news reporter. "Stone" anything sounds authoritative.

Why he would want to live in *hitsburgh is beyond me.

People from small, insignificant states (like RI) resent when other small, insignificant states (like CT) earn national attention for something (UConn's success).

Lucia out at Minnesota.

Some URI fans believe that the reason URI doesn't get more state money is that all the state legislators went to private schools like PC. Or something.
