They are fake.
But they do relatively matchup with region and time zone. Just not exact

I will never get over the Melendez technical foul.
Bam and Mirk called a players-only meeting. Love hearing that!!
That link is broken too. Is that legit?
EDIT: It's legit, Matt Norlander has corroborated via BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/norlander.bsky.social/post/3mh5a6mgdr22a

Yeah, I am planning to at least attend the Friday night session. Depends how early we have to get home Sunday on the 3rd session.
Enjoy! Any weekend my wife and I get a break from the kiddos for some adult time is A-OK by me!
I'm just waiting for the UNC matchup to happen before I unleash my "UNC has applied for Sean May to get an extra year of eligibility starting today" joke.
I watched last 15 min and OT of Penn vs Yale. They have a Player, think his name is Prince 6''9 kid that can do it all. He hit 2 3's in 15 sec. Clutch player. ILLINI staff better practice stopping him and also the twists that Fran will throw at ILLINI , he knows B.U. and his style of play. Think we win but might be a tougher than expected.
It’s a 5.5 hour drive from Nashville to Greenville. Thinking of doing it on Saturday because I know UNC will show out and the boys need us. LFG!!
Eventually people will clue in to the fact that due to a bunch of conference tournament upsets, this year's 14 seeds are most years' 15 seeds.
obviously you never know, but a pretty favorable draw overall.
Penn has some shooting and looks like they have a stretch big and a couple of Illinois kids who will likely be up to play us, but can’t imagine they’ve played anyone approaching our size.
Carolina or VCU…Tremble could give us some trouble but otherwise like the matchup without Wilson. VCU turns people over but we don’t turn people over
Houston is always tough but we are a good passing team and have the size I think we can find angles and create advantages when they send 2 to the ball. With Houston .5 seconds is key. If you’re a half second ahead you’re on business, if you’re a half second behind you’re in trouble. I trust our guys to be a half second ahead. My biggest question is can we slow down their guards. But I actually think we will score on them.
Florida is a wagon but we can match their size.
Geographic draws aren’t ideal but we’ve been a better road team all year. About as good as you could hope for.

Right! If facial hair is what players are talking about, then it’s time for a players meeting.

The only bid stealer was Akron, though. Do you mean lower seeds winning one-bid leagues?
Yes, that's why I said this year's 14 seeds are most years' 15 seeds.
On the plus side, we do get the top announce team for the games in Greenville.

If it brings him swag to play intense defense and rebound, or heck, get him to play more confident, then do it!
