Great 60-55 win for the ladies today. Elsa went for 17 and 11, did all the little things per usual, and got a full post-game interview. They really looked at her on the pick and roll and she needs to finish more consistently (4 blown layups rolling to the hoop), but If she can keep this up and the guards look for her, it really raises the ceiling for the team. She didn’t get much help on the boards today. I thought the Bucks were pretty clearly the better team today but for finishing at the rim and making threes. I won’t criticize the lack of rebounding outside of Elsa, given Minnesota’s size. If they play like this generally but make more shots, they can really do something.

Another 2 run HR 7-0 UCLA. They are going to score 30 runs at this rate

and its 5-0 UCLA after a 2 run HR in the 2nd. So much for not getting embarrassed.

And we are back to Buckeye baseball. UCLA had scored a run and had 2nd and 3rd with 1 out, shoulda gotten out of the inning only giving up 1 run but a throwing error allows a 2nd run to score and leaves runners on the corners.

next batter gets HBP to load the bases

next batter walked on 4 pitches to walk a run in - it's 3-0

next batter flies out to mercifully end the inning

just absolutely brutal self-inflicted wounds.

Brutal stretch it would be nice if they could manage not to get completely embarrassed by UCLA

9 seed Drake (13-19) Destroys 1 seed Belmont (26-5) 100-79 in the MVC Quarterfinals.

And here I thought the thread was started for this:

Six teams linked to Conor Garland​

• Date: March 5
• Source: Pierre LeBrun

LeBrun named the Blue Jackets, Islanders, Bruins, Devils, Capitals and Sharks as options for the Canucks forward. With 26 points on the year and signed through 2032, Garland seems to be a hot name.

I like this move, he's had a down year this year but he's playing on the worst team of the league so hopefully this get's him rejuvenated and he performs to his normal standard with the CBJ. He's a good for this team with how he plays.

Also, apparently, we beat out Boston for him as well.

The Blue Jackets traded for Garland in the last year of his five-year contract that carries a $4.95 million cap hit. But he won't become a free agent this summer. What makes this trade a peculiar one for Columbus is that Garland is already signed to a six-year contract extension that begins next season, which Vancouver handed him last July. That deal runs through the 2031-32 season and carries a $6 million cap hit and a full no-movement clause in the first three seasons.

Maybe the Blue Jackets finally traded for a guy that should help them "down the stretch" and beyond. He got a lot of great comments from Vancouver fans:

Nice. Absolutely fleeced the poverty Canucks franchise. Garland is amazing

Blue Jackets won the jackpot with getting Connor Garland. We fans in Vancouver are sad to see him go! Treat him well, he’ll give you everything he’s got, every game!!!

He’s a great player who you guys will love. His stats this year shouldn’t be considered, under Tocchet, he was the heartbeat of our forwards. And he drives play really well on his own and plays great defense.

One of the best, a guy who wear his heart on his sleeve and makes a difference every single night. Enjoyed watching him here in Vancouver, he’s a champ. Go kill it in Columbus!

You guys take good care of him. He's an absolute blast to watch on the ice.

You Columbus fans will fall in love with this player. He’s scrappy but mannn when the team is good can he drive play. Enjoy! And take care of him.

Canucks guy here. Garland will literally be your hardest working player on your team. He's a hoot to watch, wear's his heart on his crest, and put him with the right guys.......you'll be watching a gem.

Garland is a goat treat him good he’s got a motor that revs to the Moon and doesn’t stop he’s a trooper and a Awesome guy we are gonna miss ya.

Yep, just look at how, once they had to stop cheating, JJ Leaf went from Heisman favorite to a barely capable game manager. Vikings front office should all be thrown out of a helicopter after taking this fool's gold with the 11th pick.

We're gonna need a bigger helicopter...

the circular logic that follows this guy is mind numbing. simply being hired isn't validation that it was a good idea to hire them.

Thanks. I was really afraid you would love this hire because of the Smith connection.

Where does Kansas City fall in this conversation?

1. Rick Harrison married for 5th time:

Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison Marries Angie Polushkin in Intimate Las Vegas Wedding Ceremony​

In her own Instagram post, which was set to the tune of "I Said Yes" by Sunny Bloom, Polushkin shared several pictures from the couple's romantic day.

"We toured a beautiful winery in Chile and Rick got down on one knee ," Polushkin wrote.

The picturesque proposal was the second time Harrison popped the question. The first time he proposed was in his living room, but because his stepdaughters called it "the most unromantic proposal ever," he decided to do it again, TMZ first reported.

Harrison presented Polushkin with one of his most prized rings from his iconic pawn shop, with a representative telling the outlet that Harrison called the 6.5-carat pear-shaped ring "breathtaking, just like Angie is."

"With his full knowledge and blessing, we’re raising emergency funds to cover more than $100,000 in medical bills and related expenses after a serious motorcycle accident in Tulum, Mexico," according to GFM organizer Aron Chambers.

"He suffered devastating injuries: 11 fractured ribs, a punctured lung, a concussion, and internal bleeding. He was rushed to a hospital in Playa del Carmen, where the reality of medical emergencies in Mexico hit hard — costs add up fast, and payment is often required upfront."
