Reflections on the fire alarm. Then: Kevin McCullar vs. Bill Self, what’s up with Greg McDermott, and we try to diminish the accomplishments of youths.
Joe’s Notes: NCAA Tournament Selection Is Too Far in the Weeds

Stu’s Notes: Spring Training Begins (Round 5)
Joe Kelly did not pitch in today’s game. Also: A pant problem, Rick Pitino might have a twin, and Andy Enfield should be sticking around Los Angeles.
Joe’s Notes: Basketball Is a Vibes-Based Game
Rob Dillingham will be even better in the pros. Also: The part we’re missing about a 14-team playoff, obligatory 6-bid MWC talk, and WSU vs. Arizona.
