Great Stuff. Congrats to Harper.

I love this : "Kenturcky" . And, yes, Louisville has 3. Those kids played those games ; they won those games ; they hit 4 3 pointers in a row and sent Michigan packing. No matter what the corrupt NCAA say :-)

Ha! That wasn't an intentional jab at the Wildcats. You think you catch everything and a typo still sneaks through. But I would expect a Cardinal to enjoy that. And the concept of vacated wins fascinates me beyond this instance. One of my favorite Kansas teams, the 2018 edition, had its Final Four honor removed from the banner in Allen Fieldhouse. But I still remember watching that run and loving the playstyle. It doesn't change the experience (and the infraction is controversial given NCAA approval at the time and the modern NIL climate). I've got a fan-focused project in the works about Michigan's football team from this season that digs into the perception of rules bending/breaking and winning. And I've got a note to keep following stories of vacated championships.
