“Unsurprisingly, the social media response has followed its own inevitable arc, from shocked to bemused to serious to exhausting. As a sports fan who has seen scenes like this play out umpteen times, I’ve felt the familiar dread of watching relatively minor transgressions by Black men turn into a vehicle for everyone’s agendas. We can’t even gawk at a little scuffle without worrying that it’ll become a referendum on Black male anger. There was no real harm, and we don’t have to call a foul. Smith and Rock have reportedly reconciled, according to Diddy. Hockey players regularly pound at each other in front of enormous audiences and fans almost never have to deal with the anthropological weight of this kind of discourse. Is it unprecedented at the dolled-up Academy Awards? Sure. But let’s have some perspective.“
GG Nova. Thanks for showing up.
Not a Kansas fan, but I gotta go with the Jayhawks tonight. The two worst games I have watched in this tournament were both Villanova. Their style just mucks it up too much.
I can’t recall a tournament where I’ve seen so many missed dunks
BQ really dislikes Michigan doesn’t he
Kansas doing what we couldn’t, making threes and winning the turnover battle.
What’s wrong with that tweet?
Nova getting bombed out of the building.
Kansas playing too well. Setting Duke up for a manufactured David v Goliath narrative for Coach K. Save some of these made shots for when you play the devil
I know Kansas is hitting their threes but they are just so much more athletic than Nova
And taking complete advantage of the size mismatch inside.
Besides the fact he’s leaning into trying to become the next Valenti and that the game he is referencing, Michigan was leading until the final 5 minutes of the first half, not much I guess.
It’s a lazy comparison meant to rile people up. I like BQ, but he’s been doing this for awhile now.
Like when Nova ran Kansas off the court in 2018 when he was at the game.
Our game against them in 2018 was literally tied at this point in the game.
If they only had Ben Carter to stem the tide.
BQ wouldn’t be saying this about Izzo I’m sure
Reffing the score a bit with the block/charge calls.
I just can’t get the BQ-Valenti comp. That tweet was harmless and the comparison comes to mind because it’s Nova and San Antonio. It’s not the best comparison but Michigan fans that say BQ hates Michigan are as silly as RCMBers that called him part of the Blue Wall
That’s because Izzo gives him cookies made in his tree.
