I missed publishing daily Pook-Emu Bee links yesterday due to a work deadline. But we are back today with nine new links from around the world wide web. 1. Famed Atheist Richard Dawkins — Author of ‘The God Delusion’ — Believes AI Is Conscious (Scott Pinsker for PJ Media. May 5, 2026.) My conscious brain […]
Charles Barkley just joined nearly every college basketball fan by admitting his Capital One commercial was the worst part of the NCAA tournament. March Madness is great, but every year there are commercials that teeter on the edge of becoming psychological torture by repeating enough to drive fans insane. This year, it was Capital One’s…
March Madness capped off 2026 with a multiyear viewership record. Monday’s National Championship game between the UConn Huskies and Michigan Wolverines averaged 18.3 million viewers across TNT, TBS, and truTV, marking the most-watched title game since Virginia’s win over Texas Tech in 2019 (19.63 million viewers on CBS). Viewership for the game ticked up 1%…
The United States has been partnering with Israel in an increasingly escalatory conflict with Iran in the Middle East. Domestically, many are calling for U.S. President Donald Trump to end military operations, especially as the prices of fuel and other essential goods skyrocket. It’s a time when the U.S. needs its leadership, past and present,…
The most anticipated sporting event of my life was Sunday, Feb. 23, 2014: the Michigan men's basketball team playing Michigan State in Ann Arbor. I'd grown up around Big Ten basketball, but I was a newly minted Wolverine fan (and a freshman on campus). My matriculation coincided with off-the-charts hype for Michigan hoops; the Brady Hoke doldrums of the football team combined with a thrilling…
Monday's NCAA Championship Game delivered a huge victory for the University of Connecticut, in that Dan Hurley did not bring himself, his team, the university or the coaching profession into three days of disrepute, nor did Dawn Staley repeatedly offer to kick his ass. Hey, sometimes the championship you're playing for isn't necessarily the same one everyone else recognizes. It will be a lot of…
The Michigan Wolverines are national champions in men’s college basketball for the first time since 1989 and the second time in program history. Michigan, led by head coach Dusty May, held off Connecticut in a 67-63 victory in the 2026 NCAA Tournament’s national championship game on Monday night in Indianapolis. It capped off an incredible…

There was a moment early in the third quarter of Sunday’s national championship game when you could see exactly how UCLA was going to win and why. The South Carolina Gamecocks, desperate for offense, had taken to gambling now: sending bold passes through traffic, pawing for steals, taking shots early in the clock. They needed something—anything—and in the absence of a real halfcourt method, the…
As the Final Four game between Michigan and Arizona wound down on Saturday night, the TBS broadcasting crew said a bunch of demonstrably true and contextually confusing things about Arizona. The Wildcats really had entered the game as hot as any program in college basketball, carrying a nine-game winning streak that included a convincing march through the Big 12 Tournament into the NCAA…
A college basketball coach in the middle of a meltdown is extended grace that generally wouldn't be granted to any other adult having a tantrum in public. On the merits, there's nothing much to say on behalf of a grown man who is stamping and fuming and turning a Cran-apple color while heatedly saying things like "it's about _respect_." That's just an embarrassing thing to do, and if and when you…
Saturday’s Final Four tilt between Connecticut and Illinois did not go according to plan. At least, it didn’t go according to Charles Barkley’s plan. Offering up his pregame predictions, Barkley was very clear: he did not think the UConn Huskies, the team that has been to the Final Four in three of the past four…
The lengthy list of Charles Barkley predictions to be proven wrong got a little longer on Saturday. While it didn’t include the “guarantee” Barkley frequently includes with his predictions, Barkley confidently told TBS viewers that Illinois would beat Connecticut with ease in Saturday’s Final Four game in Indianapolis. Charles Barkley: “I’ll be honest with you-…
Fresh off his 17th Sweet 16 appearance as a head coach, Arkansas Razorbacks coach John Calipari was on set in Indianapolis for ESPN’s College GameDay show ahead of Saturday’s Final Four games.

Illinois coach Brad Underwood doesn't need any reminders about what happened the last two times his team faced UConn.
He missed March by four days, but hey, there's nothing in the rulebook that says Elliott _can't_ lead us in a March Madness showdown to determine which cinematic fantasy land would be best to live in! Subscribe to our NEWSLETTER, “Flop Secrets! It’s the best way to keep up on all things Flop House!
ESPN analysts Chiney Ogwumike and Andraya Carter were very critical of Connecticut Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma for his behavior during and after South Carolina’s 62-48 win over UConn in the Women’s Final Four on Friday night. Auriemma went off about officiating and called out South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley during an in-game interview…
It’s a Final Four close to Bill Murray’s heart. When UConn faces Illinois in the national semifinals on Saturday in Indianapolis, maybe Murray will already be the biggest winner. The comic actor has ties to both programs. This is the Illini’s first trip to the Final Four since 2005. The biggest celebrity fan in attendance…
Any hotshot high schooler who commits to South Carolina is also committing to a kind of amnesia. How many points you scored last game, how old you are, whether you’re a starter or come off the bench, whether you’ve been on this stage before—none of those things seem to matter as much as what you’re doing right now, in this game. When sophomore Joyce Edwards was asked, after Monday night’s Elite…
The Connecticut Huskies stunned the Duke Blue Devils with a 73-72 victory in the Elite Eight that featured an incredible last-second three-point shot from Braylon Mullins.

When the Illini beat Iowa on Saturday night to punch their ticket to the Final Four in Indianapolis, fans everywhere started making plans for watching the game against UConn.
Here's one mark of a legendary highlight: You can show it to someone who hasn't seen a minute of the sport in years, with no explanatory context, and get a reaction that's something like, "_Wow!_ " Such is the case with UConn's Braylon Mullins and his shot to beat Duke in the Elite Eight. Everything about the play itself and the production around it felt practically scripted for maximum…
While most of the focus in the men’s college basketball world on Sunday was about the NCAA Tournament’s Elite Eight, which featured an unbelievable finish between Connecticut and Duke, there was some news involving St. John’s head coach Rick Pitino.
