The Dallas Mavericks are firing GM Nico Harrison.: After a 3-8 start (including going 0-for-the-West) and nine months after shipping Luka Doncic to the Lakers in an under-the-table midnight deal, Nico can go back to selling shoes.

I popped on the Washington/Furman game (mostly to see if I actually have access to ESPNU, which, yay) and the Furman University team all have "FU" on the backs of their jerseys where the names usually are and I kinda love it.

This does seem a weird time of year for an outdoor championship. Growing up playing soccer in OK you kinda just dealt with the various elements, but I always found playing in the cold especially miserable. Nothing like hopping in the shower the next morning and looking down to find your legs that are tie-dyed with bruises from getting smacked by a rock-hard ball.
That might work in SLU's favor though - we're currently clear but are up to 10.5" of snow already for the Winter and it's felt like January more often than not for about six weeks so they should be pretty acclimated to it by now.

If you're sensing an unidentified source of tension in the locker room today, it's probably because my Billikens are down NoMich's way preparing to take on the NC State Wolfpack in one of tonight's Men's NCAA Soccer Final Four semifinal matches.

I'm gonna wait and see if Wemby is coming back or not before picking that Spurs/Lakers game.

I hope my excitement will appear once the games actually start but I'm really starting to dread the run up to the Cup.
