Larranaga at 73 y.o. has had a renaissance these past few years after looking like it may be time for retirement after the 2020-21 season.

The Big Ten has had 26 teams make the tournament the last three years and are 4-26 getting to the Sweet 16.

This is one of the better played and more entertaining games of the tourney so far. Though it feels like both teams are super dependent on their stars, the role players have shown up so far

Pretty good news: got 11 of the final 16 correct.
Bad news: one of my national semifinals was Arizona v Marquette.

He has a new name too, "Larr an yahga". His parents emigrated from Cuba and the pronunciation got Anglicized. Now that he's coaching Miami, the correct pronunciation has crept back.

Gonzaga with 8 straight visits to the Sweet 16. That leaves them 1 behind both Duke and UNC for most consecutive visits to the Sweet 16.

His move from George Mason to Miami is like the plot of a Cuban version of "My Blue Heaven" in reverse.

He looked great and relaxed about his situation on an interview with Le Betard last week.
