Day 740

• Just been really tired lately -- eventually want to do that Two Years of COVID thing, but who knows when?
• Seven players lead the ESPN Tournament Challenge total (wth 570 out of a possible 640 points -- either 27/32 in R1 and 15/16 Sweet 16 or 29/32 R1 14/16 S16), for what it's worth.  It is not known how many players entered the $100,000 drawing by getting the most teams from the Sweet 16 in their bracket, but we DO know the answer is at least 15/16 was required.  (Probably all but St. Peter's -- the lowest seed in history at a 15 to make the Sweet 16.  They became the third team from the 15 slot to get out of the first weekend -- all in the last decade.  Oral Roberts last year, Dunk City Florida-Gulf Coast in 2013.)
• The vast majority of the players who will enter that drawing will do so by them getting the correct national champion or both finalists from their bracket.
• World of Warcraft has, for the last two weeks, released their newest multi-boss raid, Sepulcher of the First Ones, with guilds around the world struggling to try to kill the hardest-difficulty level of all 11 bosses in succession.
• It is so difficult that only today, the fourteenth day of this release, have the two main guilds who constructed LAN parties for the players to have the best chance of winning (Echo E-Sports of Europe and Team Liquid of the United States) at last reached the final of the 11 bosses -- one day short of when Liquid and two short of when Echo will have to reclear all of the bosses to maintain their progress due to weekly resets.
• Once again, the Big Ten is exposed as overrated in men's basketball.  When in the Hell is the Committee going to realize when they make the field that the Big Ten is not nearly as good as advertised?  Every.  Damn.  Year!!!   
• Another major incident in Liga MX:  Atlas and Chivas Guadalajara brawled near halftime.  After VAR, two players got sent off (and at least two more should've!).  Eventually, fans were seen fighting in the stadium, after a 1-1 draw and at least a third sending off.
• Bizarre Spring Training game today:  14-0 at the end of 2 1/2, 19-5 at the end of 5.  25-12 was the final as Texas beat Cleveland.
• In a major indication Phil Mickelson may be just about done with the PGA Tour, Phil will not play in the Masters Tournament for the first time since 1994.
