Two moneylines for the college basketball evening.
Stu’s Notes: Why We’re Sentenced to Quadrant Talk
You know who did this to us. Also: Creighton joins the Big East, Penny vs. Pitino, and the Bulls are not the Bears.
Joe’s Notes: Arizona Loves Arizona. That Might Matter.
Desireé Reed-Francois left the SEC for an athletic department with a nine-figure landmine in its budget. Also: The Pac-2 has a commissioner, what UConn’s loss doesn’t say, and the new face of good vs. accomplished.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, February 20th
Three college basketball moneylines.
Stu’s Notes: Not Everybody Makes the NIT
Clearing up a prevalent misconception. Also: Our dream NIT Championship, Virginia is for lovers, and Daytona’s magic is fickle and fragile.
Joe’s Notes: It’s Still UConn and Purdue…Right?
Arizona and Houston have closed the gap, but has UConn widened it back? We regroup. Then: Kirk Schulz likes to talk, the Canes are always beefing, and we enjoyed our annual Mac McClung weekend.
NIT Bracketology: February 19th, 2024
Where things stand around the bubble, and various thoughts/explanations.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, February 19th
Our Daytona 500 longshot, and tonight’s college basketball.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, February 18th
Two college basketball moneylines, with a little wisdom from Douglas Adams.
Good Things Shrewing: Is Two Straight Wins a Winning Streak?
Asking for ourselves before looking at the Al Golden extension news and the addition of Army to the 2024 football schedule.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, February 17th
Three college basketball plays, but only one on the moneyline.
Stu’s Notes: Rob Manfred Begins His Five-Year Retirement Tour
Rob Manfred is retiring. In 2029. Also: Learning which hockey players are good, Austin has two Dillos, and the best fireballs so far in the young stock car season.
Joe’s Notes: Why Caitlin Clark Became a Phenomenon When Kelsey Plum Didn’t
What’s different about Clark, and what’s changed in women’s basketball. Also: That signing deadline might be a good idea, UConn vs. Marquette, and NASCAR brings chaos as it returns.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, February 16th
Taking a shot on Georgetown, and laying up in the Mountain West.
NIT Bracketology: Friday, February 16th
Last four in, first four out, and how close Memphis is to missing the cut.
Today’s Best Bets: Thursday, February 15th
Rolling with the state of Washington.
Stu’s Notes: The NIT TV Schedule Is Official
And our favorite tournament is moving up. Also: What’s holding up an NIT video game, Scott Boras is holding up Jordan Montgomery’s signing, and the Super Bowl should stay on Sunday.
Joe’s Notes: The Case Against Conference Tournaments
Conference tournaments are a moneygrab which makes competition worse. Also: The Big 12 is in bad shape, Jimmie Johnson’s Daytona 500 hopes are on the line, and there’s a reasonable rhyme to the Cubs’ deliberate rebuilding pace.
