Didn’t they win 100k the day before or was that just the threshold for winning that game?

I mean as much as I’m happy with the win, moving the crown really doesn’t move the needle

Dirk is a homo. His schtick is so tiresome.

The late, great Dennis Green with one of the greatest post-game tirades of all time!

Then after taxes they'll end up with about 60% of that. It'd buy Jacobsen a solid wrist watch.
90% of these dudes will struggle to earn that type of inflation adjusted income in a short timeframe the remainder of their life.

I'd observed that about Dirk - yes. Just wondering if there was more to it than Dirk simply being a douche. Meaning is there another social media story out there?

Still worth social media activity.
The point wasn't that they'd raise anything to move the needle, it's 1890 doesn't take any advantage of an opportunity. Any opportunity really.

Kinda funny looking at the differences in coverage of this. Fox Sports has this right at the top of their home page. ESPN, on the other hand, makes no mention whatsoever of this game or the Crown tournament anywhere on their men's bball page, let alone the home page. Unsurprising, but still funny.

I'm e few beers deep so maybe I'm captain obvious, but I took that as Pavelka asking Dirk why he's living in a state he clearly hates covering teams he hates
in other words that's Kent calling Dirk's mediocre ass out for having a dead-end career and acting like he's too good for everything

Yeah, this was a FOX tournament made for and by FOX.
Notice the conferences represented: Big Ten, Big East, Big 12, AAC, and Pac-12. All of whom have deals with FOX. FOX conferences Big Ten, Big 12 and Big East are the only conferences that get automatic bids to the Crown.
No SEC, ACC, A10, CUSA, etc., conferences that have exclusive deals with ESPN, or at least no deal with FOX.
So yeah, ESPN isn't giving an ouce of publicitiy to the Crown.
