What a story.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...bd41a2ce4d5_story.html?utm_term=.d99f7b34f40a

"How on the turbulent Earth did the fourth son of immigrants from a giant country long discouraging toward female athleticism end up as the exhilarated play-by-play voice of the very American women’s Final Four?"

"That’s how a 5-foot-3, 110-pound hell of a man who could play some cricket in the 1950s and 1960s in Karachi, Pakistan, and who later came to adore, of all things, the Chicago Cubs, wound up as a touching tangent to the women’s basketball Final Four. That was April 1, 2018, in Columbus, Ohio, just 27 days after the sudden end of the 80-year life of Mohammed Amin, Adam’s father: 40 years around Karachi, 40 years around Chicago."

Gotta feel for her a bit. Have to remember they are still kids, even though her actions against us makes it tough to feel bad. I’m happy for Baylor, especially after they lost Cox.

This has not been good week in my life but Baylor's victory (ND loss/Arike blowing the game-maybe making the foul shot is hard than a 3pt!) put a huge smile on my face. Oh, petty me!

Yeah, I guess you could say Arike was the goat in both of ND’s last two championship games. She was the last ND player to touch the ball in both games.

Back to the point of this thread. I loved the story. I also think Amin has iujmproved markedly in the last year. Much less obtrusive, perhaps more comfortable in his own skin.
