I have no idea what anybody who covers the NBA was talking about when they said the Knicks had little to no chance to beat the Spurs. They looked like the best team in the NBA after the first three games of the playoffs. Simple eye test.
Five #Tulane baseball players are on the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District D1 team: pitchers Trey Cehajic, Sam Larson, Jake Toporek and Blaise Wilcenski and first baseman Trent Liolios.
I would not call it a lock, but the Knicks should beat the Spurs in the finals. OKC is not as good as advertised. The Knicks will give the Spurs more problems.
Giants are getting what they deserve with Buster Posey. He's a fantastic former player who had no business being president of baseball operations or anything close to it. He lacked the experience. Moronic hire when it happened with moronic results across the board.
#Tulane pitching coach Anthony Izzio will not return next year. He and Jay Uhlman released statements on the baseball X account saying Izzio is leaving to pursue other opportunities. After reaching American championship game three years in a row, Wave finished last in league.
Rice was eliminated from the American tourney today. David Pierce, who is unquestionably a top-notch coach, is now 0 for 13 in conference tournaments as a head man with only two championship game appearances. He's been a No. 1 seed seven times.
UL barely held on to beat Coastal Carolina in the Sun Belt tourney today. That win should be good enough to get the Cajuns an at-large berth to a regional if they need it and means Louisiana will not be shut out as a state, something that has happened only once since 1976 (2011).
#Tulane's lone selection on the All-American Conference first or second teams is outfielder Jason Wachs, who deservedly made the first team. He hit .327 with 54 RBIs, nine home runs and a league-best 21 doubles.
#Tulane lost 6-5 in 11 innings to Rice in a four-hours-plus game today, finishing all alone in last place in the American Conference. X decided I was a bot and would not let me post for the past hour.
#Tulane's season-high fifth error on a high Kaikea Harrison throw puts Wave in position to get swept and finish dead last by itself in the American. Winning one at 2nd with no outs.
Jude Abbadessa nearly throws three straight wild pitches. Johnny Elliott blocked the first two but had no chance on the third. Rice ties it at 5 in game that may never end.
Jude Abbadessa loads the bases with four-pitch walk but then rolls double play on speedy runner. #Tulane leads 5-4. Tying run at third base with two outs.
