Twister Sister Summary - Sisters Fall to Michigan

Man, talk about an exciting game to watch! There were clutch three pointers, assists galore, the usual horrid officiating (for both sides) and a battle that went right down to the last seconds.

1:1 Interview with St. John about Jacob Frost

Hi crew,

I did an interview with Derek St. John this morning about Jacob Frost's tournament so far.

If you're not familiar, Dresser will split the guys up between Metcalf and St. John for 1:1 trainings especially in March. Obviously Dresser at the top and does the majority but then they get that personalized trainings. Which I love guessing who works with who as new guys enter the lineup just cause you get a feel for it the more time you spend around the team! Evan gets Metcalf.

I love chatting with St. John. He's very technical so I love hearing him explain things in his own words. Enjoy! Apologies for how loud it is. These back halls are chaos.

What are one or two games in your bracket that no one seems to be picking but...

What are one or two games in your bracket no one seems to be talking much about or picking the way you are but you're pretty sure you'll be right with your pick?

It's amazing how talking heads shift at the end of the season. All year, even through early March, everyone was saying how down Gonzaga was and wow they might actually miss the tourney. But now those same people are back on the bandwagon for the most part some even having them go deep. I don't buy it even with their metrics. Conversely, if the SEC is as great as it supposed to and battle tested, then even the 'lower' teams are probably better than their seeds may indicate. I saw the Zags vs Georgia and immediately picked Georgia. Probably stupid but I've watched both and Georgia CAN be sneaky good.

See quite a few also picking Liberty over Oregon. I'm not. Altman is 9-0 in first round games at Oregon. He's a good tourney coach.

Milwaukee Fan Guide

My wife and I have tickets for session 2 but are only planning to drive in for the day instead of staying somewhere close to Fiserv. Does anyone have recommendations of fun things to do or see that might be near the arena? Hoping to just find parking nearby mid-morning or early afternoon.

I’ve been looking online but also don’t see any fan events or pep rallies going on the day of the games. This is our first time doing anything NCAA tournament related so we have no idea what to expect.

Wow...there is a lot about these two teams that is similar...just a bit different in how they go about doing it.
