It sounds like PFF has basically imploded: https://defector.com/the-decline-of-pro-football-focus-is-bad-news-for-football-fans

I have a feeling if Blackwell went to Illinois, Coleman would not be. Mirkovic will be the central focus of the team offense next year, and I expect Coleman and Morillo (and maybe Brown) to contribute significantly to the team next year. As is, this is a top 5 roster, and some media outlets were listing them #1 before the Vaaks transfer.
-
Can't fault the guy for not wanting to be the 10th man off the bench, when there are plenty of other P4 options where he could get significant playing time.
-
The Bulls had a team full of great 6th men on championship rosters, sold almost all of them for zero first round draft picks, and did it late enough that they couldn't even get good lottery chances this year. Meanwhile, Reinsdorf fires AKME for not making the play-in and determines the new front office has to keep Donovan. Somehow this still isn't even the worst basketball franchise in Chicago.
-
Maybe Reinsdorf saw what the Sky front office did today and realized he somehow didn't have the worst front office in Chicago sports and is now looking to reclaim that title.

Still a bit far right. -
Turkiye beats Kosovo to claim the 4th spot in the US's group.
-
First, Illinois needs to exercise their "Wait, is that a 30-0 run?" UConn demon. Illini will be favored statistically though.
-
Underwood is 62, he's not going to want to start over at a new school, even if it is Kansas, Duke, Arizona, UNC, or Kentucky.
-
First final 4 for Arizona since that atrocity of a game in 2001.
-
Holy horsefeathers dude, enough already. This is embarrassing even for you.
-
Illini won this game by double digits while getting an unfriendly whistle and shooting 18% from 3.
-
I don't think AZ is quite that good. I think Arkansas was a paper tiger that squeaked by a couple of 12-13 seeds and clearly wasn't on a Tier 1 or Tier 2 level.
-
Oh, I think so too. I think UConn is the 4th best team left in that region.
-
Amusingly ,there is a real chance that UConn IS in their way eventually.
-
I mean, their skid was 4 one possessxion OT games and a no show against Michigan. Houston was not the best team they've seen this year. However, Illinois has probably been the best team on the left half of the bracket so far this tournament, which is very exciting.
-
Five best B1G teams are still around. Also, Iowa is here.

There's no WNBA thread, and starting one would just make it die on the vine, so I'll put this here. The WNBA finally caved to the players' demands, so the season will start on time (you may have noticed women wearing the "Pay us what we're worth" shirts the past year). The salary difference for players will be...significant.

Love this shot of Palencia.
-
Seven extra strikes, which overall I suppose is fine, but they're bunched into the late innings. Maybe the moment got to the guy. Some of those at the top of the zone seemed high from the TV angle, though:
-
That ump was Eric Gregg reincarnated. Strike zone extended 6 inches outside and down, and 3 inches up and in. Hitters didn't stand a chance.
-
The only real head scratcher from the committee this year was Vandy as a 5, considering their metrics effectively had them as a 3, or at worst the strongest 4.

Here's a fun article detailing how much Bruce Pearl is a piece of garbage, particularly to Illini fans: https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2019/4/4/18295241/bruce-pearl-final-four-timeline-infractions-auburn-lowa-deon-thomas-wire-milwaukee-violations
