Kentucky made a heck of a push after being down 61-45, but I figured it wouldn't be quite enough. West Virginia goes to the Final Four for the first time since the 1959 team featuring Jerry West, with a team that includes his son Johnny. The final score is West Virginia 73, Kentucky 66. I think Kentucky went 3-for-29 from three-point range. Now Duke is the only remaining #1 seed, and if they fall to Baylor tomorrow, the 2010 Final Four will be the first in...a mere four years to not have any #1 seeds. In 2006, three of the four #1 seeds reached the Elite Eight, and all were defeated, including Connecticut, vanquished by George Mason.

Good ole Mason running through Izzo, Roy Williams, and Calhoun.

I find it really hard to believe that Kentucky could lose. Wall and Cousins are unreal.

It would be nice to see Baylor win tomorrow.

I'm definitely thankful WVU won, just because I really, really did not want to decide between rooting for Calipari and rooting for Duke.

For the record, I'd have rooted for Duke.

feel free to blackmail me with this anytime.

I openly (very openly) rooted for Duke during the ACC/Big Ten challenge. I always do. That's the only time I ever will.

I'd have rooted for Kentucky, just because I'd like to see K get the big oh-fer while Ol' Roy's around.

Butler has a good chance to win this whole thing. I think they're likely to beat the winner of Mich St/ Tenn. IMO, they aren't a particularly big dog to any WV, Duke, or Baylor either. If I get some good odds I'll definitely put some money down on them. With the Midwest bracket in shambles and the Final FOur being in their backyard I'm not sure I'll get the odds I'm looking for though.

Yeah, I think Butler should be favored...and if WVU wins their Final Four game, I'd probably put money on Butler to take it. Duke or Baylor against Butler, though? I'm not too sure.

Butler will get some seriously inflated odds now, I agree.

As a WV fan, Butler is the team I am least scared of....

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By Roll Tide · Posted

      Did we ? You can’t possibly know that. Apparently, Elias got a player he thought he could fix.  Sorry but I just don’t think Rogers is as good as Irvin with his diminished stuff. I think he’s essentially a throw away. It would be wise to extend Eflin now while we still can. That way the resources used to get him can actually provide some long term value. Dominguez was an ok pickup…I don’t hate the deal. Problem is we needed a closer and he’s isn’t that. Thankfully Bautista is returning and will push him down the depth chart a slot or two. Soto ….Agreed, you bring him back if you can’t find a better option. I expect them to keep him. Otherwise, giving up Seth Johnson with our minors pitching quality shortage looks like a bad decision  Eloy didn’t cost much …. My general thought is pick ups like him didn’t matter beyond how you grade those acquisitions on a team that “Really Wanted to Win”. I question this because none of the guys that we picked up where having good seasons elsewhere. My thoughts are the same for Rivera …. He was a 563 OPS in Miami but got hot here and was a .948 here. His career OPS is .676 so his stint here is probably not repeatable. His projected arb number is 1.4 million so they likely keep him around as a piece and he’s young enough that maybe the change in scenery caused the light to come on.   By the way … here’s a piece from Roch about sone of these guys.   https://www.masnsports.com/blog/taking-another-look-at-orioles-roster-decisions

      This has to count as one of the, if not the, biggest choke in ALCS history. Up 5-3 with two outs and no one on in the ninth, after you came back from 1-3 in the eight, with a chance to put a lock on the series.

      Clay Holmes' agent could have used the season ending a good couple months ago. It was nice seeing a chink in Luke Weaver's armor.    Gunnar Henderson v. Anthony Volpe is kind of a centerpiece of Mike Elias mostly out-General Managing Brian Cashman the last half decade, but Luke Weaver v. Craig Kimbrel is not a good chapter and flipping those two guys might have changed the 2024 division.

      2024 Postseason Ticket Refund tracker

      I have all sorts of credit cards that charge interest because they provide me with tens of thousands of dollars in free interest. That said, I never pay interest, because I always pay off the balance each month.

      My friend and I each had flex plans. Him $2500 and me $1300. Neither of us renewed. Are schedules are too difficult to commit to a set plan and the lack of perks for the lower-tier set plans and flex plans make it not worth letting the Os earn the float on our money.

      I was going to post Ride the Lighting from Metallica but decided not to. I now regret that decision.
