And Caitlin Clark doing it is excused.

I mean, holy shit.

PC, if you don't think this formed a lasting impression of her for many casual fans, I don't know what to tell you.

Yes.

They saw a Black woman who was celebrating her success in front of a white woman, and they were furious that she may have hurt the white woman's feelings.

And as has been pointed out -- that's what Caitlin Clark does, and she was celebrated for it. Clark had no problem with it whatsoever, but a whole lot of white knights decided they had to save her.

I don't doubt there's a heavy element of that.

Does not change the fact.

Why just leave the Big 12 when you can leave the city limits altogether?

OU President Joseph Harroz Jr. talks proposed entertainment district, intercollegiate athletics

In his Evans Hall office, Harroz told OU Daily that if Norman City Council does not approve the proposed $1 billion entertainment district that would feature a new arena for OU athletics, then the university, alongside donors, would look to other cities to build an arena for which its basketball and women’s gymnastics teams would be anchor tenants and possibly the entertainment district as a whole.

“I’m very hopeful and do everything I can to keep it here in Norman,” Harroz said. “But if this isn’t approved by the city council for whatever reason, then we’re going to be looking at other (cities), Oklahoma City, Moore, surrounding areas and figure out where is there a group that wants to do this.”

That wasn't it for me.

It was the pointing at the ring finger in front of her opponents. Game's decided. You won. You're the champs. No more "heat of competition" bullshit. Be happy and gracious. Don't rub it in.

Why the fuck do we praise what hockey teams do at the end of a series if we don't believe that's the right way to behave?

There is not a small number of male sports figures who do the same F’ing thing and boo is said about it. The hockey handshake line is a tradition that everyone accepts not because they have some higher moral authority. Take a seat about Reese.

The Norman Entertainment District. Just like the Battery in suburban Atlanta. Sure.
This guy is assuming facts not in evidence.

Steph Curry Game 6 2022 Finals is OK.

Reese 2023 NCAA Championship. Not OK.

Wonder what the difference is…

I thought her signature moment was leading a team to the national title?

It's Whitlock. Any more silly questions?

Or form a partnership with the Royals and Chiefs. [/crossthread]

The NCAA. Going pro in something other than logistics.

God forbid they (gasp) fly commercial!

It's insane these teams aren't flying charter at this stage in the tournament. Even the women had flights lined up the morning after their regional finals to a) go home or b) go to the Final Four.

Why UConn, which is traveling the farthest, didn't travel on Tuesday is pretty bad on their operations staff.

This isn’t on UConn.

The NCAA oversees and handles all travel for all teams in both the men's and women's NCAA Tournaments. The plane UConn was supposed to be on was coming in from Kansas City but ran into multiple technical troubles that prevented it from leaving on time, Hurley said.

Not only is UConn's chartered flight running behind, Hurley told CBS Sports that the crew assigned to the flight would max it outs allowable work hours, per FAA guidelines. As of 7:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, there was no backup flight crew to take UConn to Arizona. After scouring all backup plans and planes, UConn's earliest option to get to the Final Four is via a smaller plane (that would still bring the entire team and staff), but it isn't scheduled to take off from Bradley Airport until sometime around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday night — which was bumped up more than an hour from the earlier contingency plan.

Still, UConn won't land until close to 4 a.m. ET/1 a.m. PT, per UConn. That plane needs to be brought in from Cincinnati.
