Running 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Thread

I might be the biggest No Ken fan under Gods Blue Heaven tonight…..and I picked Houston.
Sampson might be the most despicable human on the planet.

 

With FD offering your wager back in free bets if you get one leg wrong on a three-leg parlay, I went w/Houston to cover, Louisiana to cover and Penn State to win. A fool and his money etc etc.

 

Wait! Louisiana is within five against perpetually disappointing Tennessee!

 

Yeah, I'm old, too. I covered this game. Here's how it happened.
I was there in Salt Lake City to cover Long Beach State in the day's first game. I didn't have to cover the other games. Afterward, my boss wanted to go home so I drove him to the airport. Being Salt Lake City, there wasn't anything to do, so I went back to the arena. Watched Santa Clara beating Arizona, so I called the office and told them I better write something, especially since we had a local kid on the Broncos.

Next season, Arizona won the West Regional at the L.A. Sports Arena. Coach Lute Olson spent the ENTIRE postgame interview berating the media for the way it treated his team the previous season. I asked him what we were supposed write, considering Santa Clara had one player who would have been in Arizona's top seven.

 

Eh.... A Rick Barnes team playing the full 40 minutes?

 

Had Lute not pulled off the 1996 National Championship he would have been Rick Barnes before Rick Barnes was.

 

NEVER IN DOUBT BITCHES!

 

Where’s the middle finger emoji, Tennessee??
