2023 NCAA Tournament thread

Thanks!

Anyone who knows me knows where I stand on naming a college with a cardinal direction from a brand standpoint. But, it’s recently come to my attention (like this morning recent on ESPN) that Central Arkansas who is being picked as a possible upset against Alabama had the absolute genius insight to name their team ā€œthe sugar bearsā€ I might need to change my views on the mediocrity of naming schools after cardinal directions now although I’d like them even better if they were Sugar Bear State University.

So would Sugar Bear. I hope Post doesn’t take them to court.

Come on Miami light up Big Blue!

Good start. 1-0 heading to the bottom of the 1st.

1 run for us in the top of the 1st. A lot of solid contact.

Jerseys look cool, but playing in front of a national audience, it would be nice to see ā€œMiamiā€ on display.

Granted, I don’t know a whole lot about softball, but is this strike zone pretty tight so far?

Wildcats leave them loaded! 1-0 Miami after 1

Definitely getting squeezed. Pratt needs to adjust. Lucky to get out of that first inning unscathed.

Great D by 1st baseman

Took a lot of pitches to get out of it though, which is a problem when we only have one playable pitcher and we could potentially have to play as many as five games this weekend.

Kirin def needs to take that recruiting trip to California to pick up two or three good ones.

Not a productive inning. Hope Pratt settles in.

Our softball yard looks a lot nicer than Northwestern’s.

Hate to see the #9 hitter reach on an error. Hope that’s not costly.

1-0 'Hawks after 2

OK -Two on and two out. Time to go big fly!

Nice play by the UK LF to save probably 2 runs. 1-0 mid 3

Two big league plays by UK outfielders so far have kept them close.

Rats. Good play by bad ladies if she misses that we may have two runs. Oh well. Keep playing D.
