With Houston gone and tomorrow’s matchup favorable, Duke steps into the third chair.
Stu’s Notes: Clemson Stunk in the NIT
Some tournaments are easier than others. Also: What went wrong for UNC, talking Terrence Shannon, and whether NCAA T*urnament teams should be deported.
Joe’s Notes: LeBron James and the USC Job
Surely not…right? Also: The Hubert Davis era finally begins in Chapel Hill, Iowa State sadness, and Justin Steele’s hamstring.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, March 29th
After a good day of baseball and a bad night of college hoops, we take another hack.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, March 28th
An Opening Day moneyline, Sweet Sixteen picks, and futures in both sports.
NCAA Tournament Probabilities: How Big Is UConn’s Home Crowd Advantage?

We have our Final Four.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, March 27th
Picks for the last two NIT quarterfinals.
Stu’s Notes: Caitlin Clark vs. Swaggy P
The math adds up. Also! A moonshine cave, the sports calendar’s inherent beauty, and NIT Final Four ticket prices.
Joe’s Notes: Pat Kelsey Can Be a Good Fit, If Louisville Fans Will Let Him
Meeting expectations and doing well are two different things. Also: What if Josh Schertz stays? Did Boras fumble the Montgomery bag? And Charlie Baker takes on player props.

Thoughts on last NITe and toNITe as we celebrate what might be the NIT’s greatest round.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, March 26th
Picks for the NIT quarterfinals, plus an NIT future.
Stu’s Notes: Why Caleb Williams’s Pink Phone Might Matter
*We* don’t have a problem with it. Also: How Joe Kelly became the face of the Dodgers, Adam Silver vs. Shohei Ohtani, and whether Indiana State or Cincinnati is better for the NIT.
Joe’s Notes: For Dusty May…What About Indiana?
Like it or not, questions about Bloomington accompany Michigan’s new head coach. Also: Washington State hits an inflection point, SMU might be stupid, and the NFL’s weeknight march should go slowly.
NIT Day 8: The Game of the NITe of the Century
Tell your kids they’re going in late tomorrow morning, because at 9 PM Eastern, Cincinnati and Indiana State are playing for a shot at the NIT Final Four. (Ohio State vs. Georgia is the undercard.)
NIT Day 7: Demon Deacons Downed
Georgia did it. Also: Josh Schertz keeps the train moving, Utah and Iowa delivered, VCU came through, and we have a newfound love for UNLV.
Tournament Probabilities: Was the ACC Undervalued?
Plus: UConn’s clearer path, Houston treading water, and a new NIT favorite.

Checking in on the NIT second round.
