Skull session: Joe Lunardi chooses Oral Roberts, Ryan Day can play and how Chris Holtmann stands out as a player

by

Last year’s St. Patrick’s Day may not even have existed, so I think it’s safe to say that we are officially in the 2021 part “life is drastically different from this time last year”.

Alive!

Word of the day: Convalescença.

TURN OF THE TOURNAMENT? I have long praised Joe Lunardi as the best prognosticator in the whole country and I gave him nothing but respect for my words online.

Guys, it looks like I was betrayed, because Lunardi is here choosing Oral Roberts.

“He’s not going to win, but Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann should be on everyone’s coach list of the year. with a little less talent, he had the Buckeyes accompanying the Michigans, the Illinois, the Iowas and the rest of the Big Ten. Winning second place – which is a top-ranking overshoot this year in Columbus.

“But here’s my special surprise from the tournament: the Buckeyes against Oral Roberts, a 15-headed champion. This can happen? Yes, and I think it will. Oral Roberts, sneaky good. Ohio State, stealthily done. ”

I think the prediction of the tournament field is where your experience ends. That is good. There’s no shame in that, but stay on your trail, Joe!

THE OTHER ROSEY-CHEEKED KILLER. Tales about feats as Ryan Day’s quarterback are well-known and documented, but he seems to be able to move a little too!

And it looks like he still understood?

… or maybe not?

It looks like we’re going to need to see a team vs. players basketball game – broadcast live for our enjoyment, of course. I can’t wait to see Kevin Wilson’s hook shot.

MY COACH CAN BEAT YOUR COACH. As you may know, coaches will not dress and play in this year’s version of March Madness, but if they were, I like my chances with NAIA All-American Chris Holtmann.

Apparently, ESPN does not respect his greatness in the small school, placing him in only 40th among 68 coaches in his prowess on the court.

40. Chris Holtmann, Ohio State Buckeyes – Holtmann was an NAIA All-American guard at Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, with his best year coming in 1993-94, when he led the Trojans to a 25-9 record, a national No. 1 ranking and a NAIA tournament spot. .

Between Holtmann earning All-American honors at Taylor University and Ryan Day breaking several passing records at New Hampshire University, it appears that the state of Ohio has achieved some legends of small schools leading the program.

Furthermore, it is how I know that the old Holtmann line “I was never the best player on my team” is complete nonsense. Dude, you were an All-American. I miss me with that.

JAE’SEAN SZN. At this point, I made it very clear that if I happen to see an NBA Jae’Sean Tate highlight in my timeline, he will go to the Skull Session. I’m just not sure I can say that I expected this to happen so often.

Let’s put that performance in perspective here – 25 points is more than Tate ever scored in a game in Ohio, he never scored more than two three points in a game during his career at Buckeye, and he never made a game where he had six assists, six rebounds, a block and a steal.

Basically, what I’m saying is that Tate is doing better at the highest level of basketball in the world than in Ohio. Absurd!

SONG OF THE DAY. “Barroom Hero” by Dropkick Murphy.

NOT SUITABLE FOR SPORTS. Big cats and small children played together at the Hertel Zoo and eventually the inevitable happened … how the world lost its libido and how it can get it back … Hackers are killing the pandemic … The 1904 Olympic marathon was the wildest sporting event of all time … how the cannibals of New Guinea ate the heir to the Rockefeller fortune … Comets are more dangerous than we thought …
