It’s not baseball. It’s TikTok dances and bat tricks.

Nope, completely different organizations. Sand Gnats were NY Mets minor league team that left Savannah for Columbia SC cause City of Savannah wouldn’t pony up for better facilities.
Bananas are formally a Coastal Plains League “summer” team. They were unaffiliated with MLB and made up of mostly college players. They bring a whole new level of entertainment to their games and eventually left their league to become an exhibition (think Harlem Globetrotters) team. They are wildly fun and popular, on top of being really talented players. I wish they still played in a league, just for the variety of competition.

I used to do NFL pickem games against my ex. The criteria for her picks were the cities she'd most like to go shopping in. She absolutely annihilated me.

The Savannah Bananas are not a minor league team. I’m a former season ticket. They used to be part of the Coastal Plains League, a college development league but now play a stupid version of baseball that involves TikTok dances and idiotic stunts. They play in historic Grayson Stadium where Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron and Mikey Mantle played. The sport is dead in Savannah and these baseball legends are spinning in their graves. Jesse Cole sucks!

Virginia lost because they slow the game down and limit the total number of possessions.
Princeton won because they slow the game down and limit the total number of possessions.

Yeah I was speaking generally too that these teams seem to be choking at higher and higher rates. 50 year storm every 2 years now

Fun fact: Actor David Duchovny played a season of basketball at Princeton.

This isn’t Princeton’s first time being giant killers. I always expect them to upset big teams.

I actually had this in my bracket, which was chosen in the most chaotic possible way!
Unfortunately I also had Iowa winning it all (and Kansas losing in round 1.)
