Ok this court storming discourse has gotten out of control.
A graphic of an ESPN screen reading "COURT-STORMING SOLUTIONS Per ESPN's Seth Greenberg." The text beneath reads: All stormers will be chained to a rock where ane agle will eat their liver each day and it will grow back at night. University president will have hands and head removed and nailed to opposing team's backboard. First to storm the court will correctly predict the entire March Madness bracket every year but nobody will believe them and the entry will be invalid due to system error.

Looking for someone who can be loud in the Smith Center tonight for @UNC_Basketball vs College of Charleston. If that's you, I have two tickets for you. RT (and be following) and we'll notify the winner shortly.

The conversation around defending that hit as legal and essentially shrugging shoulders and saying “welp” to Jarvis being knocked out of the game from it is pretty disgusting to be honest.

North Carolina played spoiler in Mike Krzyzewski's last home game as Duke head coach, winning 94-81. The 13-point margin of defeat is Duke's 3rd-largest loss to an unranked opponent under Coach K.

Replying to @CityofDurhamNC
@CityofDurhamNC where can residents find information about the health risks that may be posed by this demolition? Very concerned about this as someone who lives in the area EMS is telling people to avoid.

People with asthma, COPD or other conditions that make them vulnerable to changes in air quality may want to avoid the Five Points area of downtown Durham today. The old South Bank building at 400 W Main St is being demolished, creating clouds of smoke and debris.

Ah yes, that notorious Greek letter “Lota”

Greek has two “O”s. Omega means “big O,” while omicron means “little O.” “If the repercussions from little old omicron have been so catastrophic, what are we to expect from big bad omega?” Mary Norris writes. nyer.cm/QmJzj1U

What is this penchant for using Greek to designate disasters?
