McNeese manager Amir “Aura” Khan now has a customized Under Armour jumpsuit. Company reps flew into Providence last night. I’m told he has 12 NIL deals, all totaling well into the six figures. Buffalo Wild Wings, TickPick and TurboTax are the three biggest. Nothing like March.

Here’s the best thing you’ll see tonight. Vermont senior Josh Speidel gets the first start of his career and the first points of his career. Speidel was a highly touted UVM recruit before a car accident in high school left him in a coma. Incredible story in Burlington.

Today in college basketball: The head coach of Illinois is posting AI-rendered images of himself in Balkan Cold War-era aesthetic after he landed a fifth commitment from player whose last name ends in "ic."

K just approached Armando Bacot before going to media availability and said, “I hope you’re OK, man. You were my player of the year.”

Before he headed to the bus, Ja Morant went back out into the arena to give his shoes to a young boy.

In the Final Four, Duke will face either A) Saint Peter’s, setting up the greatest symbolic representation of David vs. Goliath in sports history, or B) North Carolina for the first time in NCAAT history—with K’s retirement in the balance. How is this our universe. Phenomenal.

Woke up this morning to discover my 9-year-old filled out a bracket without me even asking if he wanted to do it. I’m so proud I might burst.

Phenomenal: Longtime friends Greg Kampe and Tom Izzo are wearing identical Grinch sweaters for their game against each other tonight. THIS RULES COLLEGE HOOPS IS THE BEST

Here are the 10 best KenPom teams ever (ratings date back to '96-97). Four of them are playing Saturday in San Antonio. Maybe the most loaded Final Four ever? This is downright ridiculous. A combined 135-16.

Tony Bennett guarding Nick Nurse — in 1989. Both men coached their teams to championships 30 years later, barely two months apart. The universe can be freaking incredible sometimes.
