Yale's win over Auburn 'what makes March Madness special'

SPOKANE, Wash. — Once the guys for whom it means more finally ran out of chances, a guard named August from a town known for horse racing spun around, untucked his jersey and climbed atop a courtside table. He smiled with his mouth open and said nothing.He quickly was joined by a kid from Morocco who likes to fish, who pointed and yelled at everyone he saw. Behind them, the lefty Greek sharpshooter from the Chicago suburbs ran into the arms of the 7-foot center who went from freshman backup to a spot on Team Israel and the All-Ivy League squad in one year. In front of them, a scruffy 16-year NBA veteran who slung his 6-foot-11 frame over a guardrail hustled in for a hug. The head coach came by last, arms out wide, leaning into a vigorous multi-human scrum that knocked off his lapel pin and included an elbow to a writer’s head.Yale 78, Auburn 76 at Spokane Arena on Friday was at once a result and a revival and another episode in an ongoing, hilarious reckoning. An eclectic No. 13 seed beating a No. 4 seed overloaded with size and athleticism and talent. An Ivy League champion ousting an SEC champion, and not by accident. A forever March moment for a player whose girlfriend is more famous than him. The airy whimsy of the NCAA Tournament triumphing, yet again, over the sulfur cloud threatening it. The sword drawn from the stone, then driven right back through a bigger one.“It shouldn’t be a surprise anymore,” said Chris Dudley, the aforementioned former pro and overjoyed alum sporting a Yale polo shirt, still on the lookout for his next hug. “This is a good team. It’s a real good team. We got great players. Just ’cause you go to a good school, doesn’t mean you can’t hoop.”It’s of course a little bit of a surprise, and that’s the point. Assumptions are built into this event. Teams are assigned numbers and, with them, expectations. And then something like Yale happens. A junior guard named John Poulakidas, who abused his mini-hoop as a kid so much that it chipped the door it hung on, whose recruiting got fogged up by a pandemic, who heads to the gym to shoot after logging starter’s minutes in games, drops in a career-high 28 points. And Auburn, ranked seventh in the final Associated Press poll and considered a worthy threat to defending national champion UConn in the East Region, loses in the Round of 64 for the first time.There are those who would warp the structure of the NCAA Tournament essentially to the detriment of the Yales of the world, probably because the Yales of the world keep doing this stuff. The Bulldogs did it in 2016, too, upsetting Baylor in the first round. With formidable but offensively challenged San Diego State awaiting Sunday, it’s not far-fetched to believe the Bulldogs can be the second straight Ivy League team to reach the Sweet 16, after Princeton in 2023. “That’s what makes March Madness special,” Yale big man Danny Wolf said Friday. “It’s games like this.”Continue reading.

What do March Madness stars listen to before games?

As college basketball players head to NCAA Tournament arenas on their team buses, many will slip on headphones, zone out to a song and absorb the vibes. Coaches also sometimes take a small moment from poring over last-minute scouting reports to escape to a melody filtering through their airpods.These soundtracks, perhaps subconsciously, serve an objective, too. Music can settle our nerves — or pump us up. A specific banger can provide a dose of confidence. A sentimental song might remind us of our grand purpose. “Music is the shorthand of emotion,” Leo Tolstoy once wrote.So as March Madness gets underway, The Athletic wondered what these tournament-bound stars will be listening to before they compete in some of the most important games in their lives. We asked women’s and men’s tournament players and coaches to share their pre-game playlists. Players’ tastes ranged from Nicki Minaj to Veeze to even Elvis Presley. Coaches ranged from Gospel to AC/DC.You won’t achieve the same jump shot as these athletes by listening to their hype music, but these playlists will get you ready (from your couch) for tip-off.Continue reading.

Best bet for Saturday's games

Washington State +6.5 (-105) vs. Iowa StateBe sure to shop around as there are some +7s out there, but I’m going to take BetMGM’s price of +6.5 -105. This should be a slow-paced game with both teams being very strong on defense. The key for Washington State staying within this number is its ability to get after the offensive glass. Iowa State isn’t great on the defensive glass and forces a ton of tough shots. This is a matchup that needs to be exploited if Washington State has hopes of pulling off the upset. Luckily for us, they just have to stay within two possessions.Continue reading for score projections for every game.
