We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I'm glad that Saint Peter's finished closer than Miami.

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS

It used to be that only the winner of the ACC advanced to the NCAA tournament, so Duke and Carolina could never both be in the tournament to meet.

After the expansion, the selection committees have always seeded Duke and Carolina apart. I believe they actively avoid matching conference foes together early, so you would not see a #1 seed Duke in the same bracket as a #2 seed Carolina, usually.

We have three championships in our history it's clear who to root for in that situation.

You really want K going out on top?

I’m really hoping UNC just finishes Duke so I don’t have to make a choice. I’m probably not watching the finals either way though.

Maybe if Kansas wins Self can just retire.

I feel like UNC and Duke are going to fight like mad for the honor of being flattened by a healthy and unworried Kansas.

Villanova got injury troubles at the worst time.

My hatred for Missouri may be suspect since I'm not from Kansas per se, but trust me, my hatred for Kentucky is pure. It's just some things are more important than mere rivaldoms, like rodent--proofing the house.

All three other teams have beaten UNC in big games before. For once we're the underdogs.

I thought Louisville was the weakest 1 seed, and as it turns out it doesn't matter what I think when they can just suffocate teams to death with their defense

If UConns third big can’t heal up soon, I don’t have hopes for them because I think she’s the best big they have on the team.

Suffocating defense is South Carolina's calling card, so I'll be curious to see how this matchup goes. Really, really want a rematch with Stanford for the title (and of course the title itself, but I'm trying to take it one game at a time).

I think it's SC's to lose at this point. They just have to make enough shots. Boston is so dominant and Cunane being out means she will be a matchup nightmare fore the other 3 left.

But it's March, so who knows

So some country music douchebag is suddenly cancelling a huge concert in Texas so he can go to the Duke/UNC game, and the number of people defending it (including Spencer Hall, whose work I think is great) is staggering to me.

Some people probably made travel plans months in advance for that poo poo and can't get the money back, not to mention the way local businesses will be impacted.

I think college sports fandom has passed me by at this point. Christ Almighty.

I'm not saying he's a war criminal I'm saying he's a gigantic douchebag flexing privilege in a way that offends whatever eat the rich sensibilities I have and I think defending a dick move like that on the basis of "tHe RiVaLRY" is kinda dumb. Maybe I'm just getting old or something.

Also yes I'm in NC but as long as we're using sports hate to justify poo poo, I also know what gigantic douchebags Walmart fans of UNC tend to be, of which he is also one.
