It was deluxe viewing for the connoisseur: Kelly in the booth with an $84 OK fishermans beanie* (superfine Merino, organic cotton blend) along with Ronnie and Luke. Best commentary ever.

There were five lead changes in the up-and-down first half. The last of them came at the buzzer, when J’Von McCormick went the length of the floor and got a finger-roll to go.

It’s far more accurate to say Julian lost the heat – so badly you’d almost call for an investigation – than Kelly won it.

His workshop is in a garage in Norfolk, not on the North Pole. And he doesn’t have a beard or travel in a sleigh.

In the area of the American South where I live, six-foot fence posts like these run about $4 a pop brand new. Farms may require miles of fencing, and the post costs get pricey. Sometimes vehicles run into the posts and damage them; other times circumstances change, and the fences need to be removed. If removed hastily or stored improperly, the posts can get bent. They’re then cast off to the side of the property, where they sit and rust.

Every other year we raise about 20 meat chickens, which we teach to scratch as day-old chicks, and then raise in a completely unconfined, free-range manner, offering them whey to drink, and closing them up only at night for safety. Doing this saves on organic chicken feed, and augments their grain diet with bugs and plants they find around the barnyard. They grow more slowly and comfortably this way, and are usually around to feast on the last of the butchering scraps I bring home late in the fall.

Family farmers like Chase — who still steward much of our open space — are often blamed for the decline of local salmon populations, making conservation a sensitive subject. The dominant conservation narrative faults cattle for wallowing and defecating in once-pristine rivers and eating riparian plants that shade and cool the water. But farming practices vary, and farmers like Chase are also keenly aware that the land must be managed with the long-term in mind.

Turns out Klukwan — the defending champion — didn’t break 100, clearing out its bench a little for the last few minutes and having the running clock going. Klukwan takes this one 94-61, staying alive in the tournament.

5. Russ “Ahhhh”: The full quote is “Ahhh, that’s pretty interesting.” Russell had 18 points (6-for-6 from the field, 6-for-6 from the line), 11 rebounds, and 14 assists that game and had just been informed that he was the first player ever to notch a triple-double without missing a shot.

The four No. 1 seeds in March’s first full bracket are the same quartet found on the top line of Friday’s bubble update, in the same order. At the top, you’ll once again find the Virginia Cavaliers, who followed Saturday’s 73-49 blowout of the Pittsburgh Panthers with a record-breaking performance from the perimeter against the Syracuse Orange last night. Tony Bennett’s team, which is looking scarier and scarier as the days tick by, hit a staggering 18 of their 25 three-point attempts (good for 72 percent) to turn what was a 34-32 Orange lead at the half to a 79-53 Cavalier romp.

The second half has turned into a game of “horse” between Virginia’s Kyle Guy and Purdue’s Carsen Edwards. Guy has 19 points, 15 of them in the second half and all off three-pointers. Edwards has 30 points, 24 of them off threes and 14 of them in the second half.
