Congrats to UMBC, but we really need to take a minute and feel sorry for the Kansas State assistant coach who has had his Virginia scouting report done the last 5 days and realizes it was all for nothing.

- AAU Coaches, Parents, and Players: Be careful what you read online about your kids college level projections. They can be very deceiving! Return ALL phone calls and ALL questionnaires from college coaches. It’s an honor to play college basketball at every level!
- Last night, I unknowingly left this note for my wife in our baby app after feeding our daughter at 2:00am. “She had part of a bottle and then fell asleep after trying to go against your scout team” Sleep deprivation mixed with basketball season is a wild thing. 🤨
- A look at our tip in finish from last nights win by @ReiterAdam. We have a lot of work to do before Coe comes back to our place on Tuesday night for the 1st Round of the ARC Tournament.
GIF - Quiet please. Test #2 is in session for Theories of Coaching Basketball. You must complete a bench foul sheet without errors. I had to incorporate March Madness into class somehow.
