Welcome to the Brew Hoop Night Shift. Every evening at 9:00pm (central time), this all-purpose thread goes up, and the comments section is where it’s going down. What Bucks news did we not cover? What topics do you want to break down further? Or is there something non-Bucks that you want to bounce off of one another? Even something non-basketball? This is the place.

Not that I would buy the shoe in the first place, but if I was in the market for a new basketball shoe and was waiting on the new Curry’s to drop, I would not buy them based solely on the inspiration.
Tonight’s (off)topic: March Madness Memories
The men’s national championship tournament began today and the women’s begins this weekend. My alma mater, University of Iowa, failed to make the field of 68 on the men’s side, but the women’s squad earned a 6-seed and take on Creighton University Saturday. My beloved Vermont Catamounts men’s squad came one win shy of making the tournament but fell to University of Maryland-Baltimore County in the America East Championship game.
Nobody ever cares about who anyone else has in their respective brackets, so I’ll ask this: which March Madness moment is your favorite? Here’s mine (fast forward to the one minute mark for a classic Gus Johnson call):
