We Like This Old Nun From Loyola-Chicago
Loyola-Chicago, the only team to pull off an upset so far in this NCAA Tournament, features an especially lovable and pious fan in its cheering posse. Her name is Sister Jean, and she’s a 98-year-old nun. She is very cool:...

Loyola-Chicago Beats Miami On Last-Second Three-Pointer [UPDATE]

Trae Young Couldn't Carry His Whole Team
Oklahoma’s Trae Young almost certainly just played the last game of his NCAA career, and he busted his ass. Today’s 83-78 overtime loss to Rhode Island featured the entire Rams team each making important contributions, while Young put practically all of his Sooner teammates on his back....
Mike Daum Can Score. Now He Needs To Change.
There are few teams across the Division I landscape that are as consistent as South Dakota State when it comes to reaching the postseason. The Jackrabbits play in the Summit League and have won the sprawling mid-major conference’s auto-bid in five of the last seven seasons, and while none of those ...
Deep Three Sends Kevin Harlan Into Maniacal Laughing Fit
Ten-seed Oklahoma and seven-seed Rhode Island are currently locked in a close first-round matchup; so far, Rams senior guard Jared Terrell, the team’s sharpshooter and leading scorer, has struggled inside the arc, shooting just 4-of-12. But the Weymouth, Mass., native has been on fire from a mile aw...
This March, Jalen Brunson Is Right Where He Belongs
Jalen Brunson didn’t think too much about hanging out at Madison Square Garden as a kid. He considered it normal. To him, it was....
The 2018 Hater’s Guide To The Field Of 68<em></em>
The tournament starts today and, in accordance with sacred Deadspin tradition, it is our solemn duty to say a bunch of ignorant, awful shit about all of the teams in this year’s field. Like Tennessee! You think I’m buying Tennessee men’s basketball doing ANYTHING worth a shit? I don’t think so. That...
Harvard Owned By Clumsy Referee
It’s a good thing nobody really gives a shit about the NIT tournament or has any capacity to feel sympathy for people who go to Harvard, otherwise we might have a real college basketball scandal on our hands....
For Kelvin Sampson And North Carolina's Native Americans, The Fight Never Ends<em></em>
Kelvin Sampson has been in the basketball business for some time, and if you pay attention to the game his name will ring some bells. Maybe you remember him coaching Washington State, or Oklahoma, or Indiana; maybe you saw him looming over a huddle as a NBA assistant. Given that he’s got the Univers...

John Calipari Is So Close
Kentucky head coach John Calipari had his annual behind-the-scenes profile published today, this time in GQ; this one follows Calipari around his family’s beach house and his church, and the coach even let reporter Reid Forgrave attend mass with him. This somehow led to Calipari being referred to as...
Congressional Candidate Doesn't Want To Talk About The Time He Cheated To Win The NCAA Hockey Title<em></em>
Pete Stauber is the Republican candidate in the upcoming election for Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District. His policy positions are pretty standard fare for a Republican: He voiced support for the rock-dumb tax bill and is pro-mining and anti-environmentalist to the point that he unironically wro...
Judge Overseeing College Basketball Corruption Case Would Like Everyone To Stop The Dang Leaks
U.S. District Judge Edgardo Ramos has officially had it with the leaks coming out of the FBI’s ongoing pay-for-play case against various college basketball programs....
UConn Trick-Shot QB-Turned-Trump Valet Fired Due To Homeland Security Investigation
Remember Johnny McEntee? We featured him in these pages seven-some years ago, as the UConn quarterback displayed some incredible sleight of hand in a trick-shot compilation video. Johnny later dropped the diminutive and became John McEntee, Donald Trump body man, except now he’s not even that anymor...
Report: NCAA Tournament Turns Its Back On Ted Valentine For Turning His Back On Joel Berry

Look Into The Face Of March Madness's Cruelest Mascot
Last Friday evening, while covering the Big East Tournament, CBS Sports reporter Matt Norlander tweeted an image of the Providence Friars mascot looming creepily on the block at Madison Square Garden. It was an innocuous tweet, in its way, but also it was not....
