That Guy Darren

Comedy guy, Red Sox guy, Uconn guy (he/him guy)

The metrics of the UConn-Illinois matchup are fascinating, especially @kenpom.com. UConn: 33-5, #26 SOS, 29.11 KP Illinois: 28-8, #16 SOS, 34.32 KP Head to Head: UConn 74, Illinois 61 So the question is, how many times would UConn have to beat Illinois by 13 to pass them in KP? 5? 10?

I've got the perfect guy for UNC basketball to hire. He took over a team that had been 32-30 in the previous 2 years and led them to the championship game in his first year. Over 5 years, he had a 125-54 record, including 8-4 in the tourney. Best of all, he's a former Carolina player and assistant!

Overheard at Yahoo Sports: "We need a photo to illustrate UConn's triumph over Villanova. Any ideas?" "I know just the shot!" (Incredibly, this is only the second worst thing that happened to Braylon Mullins that day.)
