SIUE coach Brian Barone put a framed pair of scissors above the locker room door six years ago. Now, the Cougars get to cut down the net and go dancing. “People didn’t think we were going to be able to do it … We’ve been waiting six years.” . March has arrived! Gotta love it!

Celtics fans: I've watched a lot of Baylor Scheierman over the years. You're going to love him. Trust me. Great at changing speeds, knows how to play in traffic, elite passer, lights-out shooter, competitive defender, extremely smart, winner. Smart pick. A natural fit.

Final: Scituate 12, Falmouth 11 (OT). Willy Robinson scores his sixth goal with 3:22 remaining to send the Sailors to the D3 final. Powerful moment as Robinson, who lost his father — a Scituate assistant, Will — five days ago finds a way. What sports are all about. Amazing.

When SVP asked Todd McShay to name a first-rounder who’s “absolutely rocketing up the board,” McShay didn’t hesitate. “Zay Flowers. Wide receiver from Boston College.”. “It won’t surprise me, when it’s all said and done, if he’s somewhere in the top 15.”

Thank you all for following along through another eventful BC season. This was probably the most memorable year yet. A lightning delay, a near-upset of FSU, a trip to Army, a five-game winning streak, a three-game losing streak and a trip to Fenway. Grateful to do what I do.

Some thoughts:. - Castellanos deserves credit for not throwing any picks. Would have been easy to do in the rain. - Ezeiruaku was everywhere. Played a heck of a game. - Young DBs are on the rise. Davis and Tucker can play. - Defense did well holding MSU mostly to field goals.
