Remembering my friend Stuart Scott and the fun we had talking about these two. Thinking of @TaeAndSyd with love. Stuart left us on this day six years ago, but his light doesn’t go out. The fight continues, too.

Appreciated the time. Kind of him to mention One Big Thing from last night. Guy scores 33 in the 2nd half of a close out and thanks me for talking about daughters. What a life, man. I’m grateful. 🙏

People didn’t like @JayBilas saying the hay was in the barn. It was. Iowa State a 6, ‘Nova a 6, Auburn a 5, Cincinnati a 7 and MSU a 2. All won their tournaments and it seemed to mean nothing in terms of seeding. Not one thing.
