Good Eagles are rooting for the Terriers and good Terriers are rooting for the
Eagles tonight in St. Paul. Agreed?

Never thought about in these terms before, but there are valid arguments for GOAT at every baseball position but one. No third baseman combined offense and defense to the level of Mike Schmidt. Brooks fans, I love him, too, but he was not Schmidt’s equal with a bat in his hands.

John Havlicek would have been 84 today. What a privilege to have seen him play hundreds of times and, as a great bonus, to have known him. Trust me, he was as humble and gracious as you think he was.

Congratulations to Dawn and the Gamecocks. The best team has won (again).

Second-chance points are keeping South Carolina in the game.

If you calculate the total distance of Caitlin Clark’s career threes is it the distance from Earth to the Sun, or possibly to Neptune or Jupiter?

Am wondering if all this fulmination about a screen will have repercussions throughout all levels of basketball. And how cool that this enormously bright spotlight was shone in a women’s game.

Let’s thank Purdue and UConn for sparing us any officiating controversies.

No good deed goes unpunished. I try to spotlight worthy players of the past, and people misinterpret it as a knock on today’s brilliant female basketball stars. I should have known better.

I’ve had more casual conversations about women’s college basketball this past week than in the previous 50 years put together.

Listen up, people. When Curry and Clark cross midcourt they are thinking shoot first, pass second, and they should. Each is a great shooter who can also pass, They are not “point guards.” They are awesome combo guards. But it’s just semantics, anyway. They’re both phenomenal.

Thank you all for responding to my women’s basketball observation. You honor these worthy players just by giving a shit. But if you never Lisa Leslie you have no idea how great a post player she was.

We’re having a women’s basketball argument. Isn’t that great? For the record, I covered the transition game in 1985 when UConn beat Tennesse and the torch was passed. All I’m saying is that we had great female talents that weren’t properly recognized 40 years ago. Or even 1.

I applaud the greatness of Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, Angel Reese and Ju Ju Watkins, etc., but in fairness to their predecessors, I don’t see a better point guard than Dawn Staley or a better post player than Lisa Leslie. Great women’s basketball skill is not new.

“A tradition unlike any others?” Sadly, for far too long, both the PGA and the Masters itself upheld an odious American discriminatory tradition. Peter May sheds proper light on this in his new book “Changing The Course: How Charlie Sifford and Stanley Mosk integrated the PGA.”

Dead Heat between and “Reach Out” and “Ain’t Too Proud.”

Message from TD Garden: the San Diego State baton twirler is the MOP (Most Outstanding Performer).

Watching Cam Neely highlights. Not sure young’uns realize hiw great Cam Neely was before Ulf Samuellson wrecked his career.
