I was just about to say, Macon bacon of the hogs in Walmartland (SEC+/ESPN+). Meanwhile, Houston still has a problem (also ESPN+).

Yikes, I think I did jinx this one. When I posted, Liberty led 52-47 at LSU deep into the 2nd half, and Will Wade had just been assessed a technical. LSU ended the game on a 27-6 run to win 74-58.

Already over, so not jinxing, but Marquette over Illinois.

Curbello for Illinois played about as badly as I've seen a college player in a long time in almost single-handedly blowing a lead for Illinois. He was a turnover machine, took terrible shots, and committed a touch foul with no real contest on the game-winning basket.

Halftime in Raleigh, and the other Blue Devils giving it to the Wolfpack we know. (FloSports?)

Fortunately for me, jaguars are not a thing here. Mountain lions, though. They can be scary. Sneak up from behind and grab you by the throat. (SEC+/CBSSN)

I think Sean Brock could make some delicious mutton-based entrees to serve at Husk (CBSSN).

Apologies. ESPN originally listed NC State second so I thought it was Raleigh. The team order is now flipped as is the score: NC State at Central Connecticut, in the Mohegan Sun. Wolfpack up 14 with under a minute left.

Jaguars can definitely be overlooked. Thankful there aren't any mountain cats where I'm at either (excluding fiance's mom).
