Absolutely no shame. Tremendous season and finish. UConn was just the better team.

Not much you can do with a team stacked with Lottery picks.

Damn, totally forgot about the Women's Final.

South Carolina defeats Iowa 87-75 in Caitlin Clark's final game at Iowa.

So happy for Philly's own Dawn Staley winning the big one. She took the Temple Owls to a perfect Season and now she did the same thing with the Gamecocks

Caitlin Clark did not finish her story. @BSE

John Calipari's headed to Arkansas:

Congrats to the Women's Gamecocks on capping off the perfect season, denying the Hawkeyes again, to win the national championship!!! They're truly the dominant and stacked team, they deserved it unanimously!

Tonight's the Men's Basketball National Championship between two 1 seeds: UConn and Purdue~!!!

About Bama losing to UConn, I'm not mad at all. UConn had a stacked team. I'm very proud of Bama and how deep they went in the tournament. Nobody gave us a chance, especially that game against North Carolina. That's the highlight of the tournament and I couldn't be more happier for the Tide to stun them in the Sweet Sixteen. Thank you Nate Oats for coaching the team to new heights!

The Women's National Championship drew insane ratings:

It's halftime and UConn's leading Purdue 36-30.

Kentucky signs Mark Pope to five-year deal to replace John Calipari as head coach

Pope spent the past five seasons as head coach at BYU.

Wow.

Mark Pope was on the 96 Kentucky national champion team. That's where the connection comes from. However, this seems like a massive drop and fall from grace from Calipari. Mark Pope is not Blue Blood level ready. Scott Drew, Dan Hurley, and Nate Oats didn't want to leave their respective schools, but the best this 8x Championship school could only get ex-BYU coach Mark Pope?
