The Gamecocks are the favorites in the women’s NCAA tournament.

Michigan is paying defensive coordinator Don “Wink” Martindale an incredibly rich deal.
Michigan named Martindale the team’s new DC after he left the Giants following this past NFL season, and if you want an NFL caliber assistant, he’s going to be paid big money. Not only is Martindale getting paid, but he’s getting paid like a head coach.
Austin Meek reported Martindale’s deal is for three years with a base salary of $2.3 million in 2024 and it increases to $2.5 million in 2025 and $2.7 million in 2026.

Bijan knows ball.
Did your bracket get busted on Thursday? Yeah, most everyone’s did. Between BYU falling to Duquense and Kentucky’s stunning loss to Oakland almost nobody is waking up on Friday morning with the whole thing intact.
Well, except for Bijan Robinson and a very few others.

BIJAN IS STILL PERFECT!

The Falcons running back is one of 0.

John Calipari’s seat at Kentucky has been relatively warm for a half-decade now, but after the Wildcats’ stunning loss to Oakland in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, his seat has burst into flames. 
The majority of Big Blue fans have seen enough from Coach Cal at this point. Kentucky has won just one NCAA Tournament game in five seasons and hasn’t sniffed an SEC Tournament title since hosting the trophy in 2018 while averaging 10 losses a season over the last three campaigns.

John Calipari wasted no time before finding someone to blame after a stunning loss to Oakland.
The Kentucky Wildcats lost 80-76 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to the Grizzlies in what can only be described as an absolute stunner.
Once again, Kentucky disappointed in the postseason, and it feels like a lifetime ago when the Wildcats were contending every single season.
But don’t worry, UK fans, because Calipari knows who is responsible for Thursday night, and it’s not him.

A couple Miller Lights or tickets to some NCAA Tournament games?
That’s the choice some people might have to make because tickets to some Friday sessions are shockingly cheap. Thursday is in the books, and after a day of games under our belts, you’d think ticket prices would probably be pretty competitive Friday.
After all, it’s leading into the weekend, people can get off work and it’s easier to travel. Well, if you’re in Memphis and want to catch some games, it’ll come at the cost of a beer at a nice bar.

A hard crash in practice from Alex Albon put Williams in a difficult position
As the first practice session at the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix wound down, Alex Albon found himself in a tricky spot.
The wall.
As Albon was coming out of the exit to Turn 6 and ran a little wide into Turn 7, which resulted in a massive crash that caused substantial damage to his FW46:

Samford was absolutely hosed by the refs in the closing moments of the team’s narrow loss to Kansas.
The Bulldogs cut the lead to just one point with 14 seconds remaining at 90-89, and it appeared Samford guard A.J. Staton-McCray had pulled off an incredibly clean block on Nicolas Timberlake.
Refs saw something different from the rest of the nation.
Staton-McCray was called for a foul, Timberlake hit two free throws, Kansas pushed it to a 92-89 lead, Samford missed three to tie on the next possession and that was that.

John Calipari and Kentucky players might want to stay off the internet for a few days.
Oakland stunned the Wildcats 80-76 Thursday night in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament, and it was another disappointing postseason for Calipari’s program.
Kentucky has just one NCAA Tournament win over the past five seasons. A program that used to regularly compete for national titles now struggles to be relevant in the tournament.
Kentucky is one of the true villains in college basketball.

Since 2019, the Wildcats have won just one NCAA tournament game.
