Alabama's refusal to shoot mid-range jumpers hurt their free throw shooting

I would ask maybe the lack of mid-range jump shots in practice and making it one point and saying everyone has to only shoot fours or twos had something to do with them going 11 for 25 from the free throw line in a very important situation.

While Alabama's poor free throw shooting (44%) did lead to their loss vs UCLA, the link between mid-range practice and free throw percentage is a common basketball debate but not a proven fact.

The under is the best bet for the remainder of the NCAA Tournament

Unders are back big time, with the exception of this game that's happening right now and then that miracle overtime game with UCLA and Alabama. I think every under hit, right? So it's in the middle of the Oregon-USC game right now... But, yeah, unders are back.

The 2021 tournament was notoriously low-scoring in the later rounds, including the National Championship game which stayed well under the total.

Oregon State is the greatest team of all time

Oregon State, Loyola Chicago. Oregon State is just the greatest team of all time. And I'm going to say that about pretty much every team, just be warned that I don't have a lot in my repertoire right now, but they are the greatest team as of right now.

Oregon State reached the Elite Eight as a 12-seed, an incredible run, though they obviously weren't the greatest team of all time as they lost to Houston in the next game.

Baylor is beatable because they are a streaky shooting team

I'm caught between that they [Baylor] didn't play their best and still won, so they're really good, and they're beatable because they went three for 19 from three, and they were a little bit streaky. Their best players didn't play their A games.

Baylor went on to win the National Championship, proving they were the most dominant team in the field despite any perceived streakiness.

The 2026 Thanksgiving Day schedule is the best single day of football ever

Wednesday night is the Packers versus the Rams. Then Thursday, Thanksgiving day is Bears, lions, Eagles, Cowboys, chiefs bills. That will be great. Like the day of Thanksgiving? Yeah. That's the best day of football I think maybe ever.

Whether it's the 'best day ever' is a matter of personal opinion and game quality.

Pittsburgh fleeced Boston in the gorilla trade

I think Boston got fleeced. Frankie got traded, 7-year-old. Frankie got traded to the Boston Zoo. He's going to just be chilling with a bunch of other dudes. Little Joe got traded to Pittsburgh because he's going to be mating and making new gorilla. Pittsburgh's the one that's gonna be making more gorillas. You guys are do everything all wrong. They're, they're making a gorilla factory in Pittsburgh.

Evaluating zoo conservation efforts through the lens of a sports trade is inherently comedic and subjective.
