Ja, Lebowski. Hippo believes in nuh-shing! There really ain't much going on for the hoopsball non-watcher. I continue to read avidly and pine for the sweet FITBAW smell of autumn. Looking forward to Draft weekend, as the Donks just swirl deeper down the terlet bowl. Even though I know fuck shit (see the

I am not watching, but Scotchy's work ethic called and the content monster shall not rest. So you get the below half-assedry! 10MW Colorado State (+2.5) v. 7MW Texas (6:50, TNT) I feel like this is an animal-fondler Derby. One knows all the Texas jokes already, but have you BEEN to Fort

WHO YA GOT?? And more importantly....what is the Low Commander/Horatio #ShameBet? Needs must, y'all. JV Hardwood BOLTMEN!! (+7) v. Fightin' Horatios (9:20, CBS) Somehow, these two (seeded 5th and 4th in their respective regions) were the "chalk" picks of the semifinal round. Fuck me, is that ever some glorious chaos. In the final,

April Fools' Day is the dumbest day of the Murrikan calendar. YES, even worse than Greeting Card Day (ie, 14 Feb). Take that shit somewhere else. City host the Redshite early (Peacock, 7:30), but down a Foden and likely Haaland, too. They should still be better (especially at home) but there's

I now remember how/why/how much I hate basketball. But, I have imaginarium obligations, so the games are below. I have added a picture of Kaylyn Kyle, because (i) she is PERFECT; and (ii) all eyes are on Canadia Lesser Footy this weekend. The rest is just trash to pass the

Night two, and you get to scan the following bullshit before turning your eyes towards the sexy thread. 15E St. Peter's (+12.5) v. 3E Purdue (7:09, CBS) A warning for Purdue Pete - you probably think you dodged a major bullet with this matchup. That's what Murray State thought, too. And they

Thanks so much to TUDN for teaching me that descriptor for the Round of Sixteen. Because it's not goddamned SWEET with Duke and especially U*NC participating. Anyway, I might have tuned out, but I can still give the imaginarium my uneducated, semi-coherent thoughts on the matchups: 4W Arkansas (+9.5) v. 1W Gonzaga (7:09,

I will not invite you to touch my monkey, though. Here are your late fixtures: 12MW Richmond (+3.5) v. 4MW Providence (6:10, TNT) Friar Tuck and his merry band just can't get no RESPEK, I says. Richmond's coach looks eerily like "Buddy" in Swimming With Sharks. I love that movie, probably because I

There is only one Prem fixture this morning, Arsenal/Villa (8:30, USA). The King's Afrikan Water Pistols are playfully spraying their way into next season's Shempions League, but as they say in Footy Manager speak "there can be no letup." Villa are a pesky lot, so this might be worth a

King Hippo - March 18, 2022March 18, 2022

The early window, as quasi-predicted, was a wet bag of shit. DUE BETTER, night windows! 13S Chattanooga (+8) v. 4S Illinois (6:50, TNT) What's the fucking deal with all the schools that used to be "State-hyphen-City" who are now just "City?" I fear and reject ALL CHANGE. 15W Cal-State Fullerton (+18.5) v. 2W Duke

OK, I think that counts as madness yesterday. Goodbye, Kenfucky. 12 seeds run rampant, except for Indiana - who got curb-stomped by...St. Mary's?? UCLA used all nine of their lives. More games, more work avoidance, more entropy to come! 10S Loyola-Chi**** (Pick 'em) v. 7S Ohio State (12:15, CBS) Pretty cool respect
