The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: Go Blue!

The Victors | Project OSPREY: Team 102—2018 B1G Men's Basketball Tournament Champions
Fountains of Wayne, "All Kinds of Time" from Welcome Interstate Managers (The Last Angry Wolverine)

Commentary: In honor of senior guard/forward Duncan Robinson, the B1G's Sixth Man of the Year in 2017-2018. Yes, I know "All Kinds of Time" is explicitly about football, not basketball, but in the way the game slows down for the song's "young quarterback" protagonist, in the way all of his plans come together & he indeed "has all kinds of time" in the scant second before the onrushing blitz buries him, I see much of the smooth stroke & deadly accuracy of Robinson's three-point shot, if opponents are even a fraction of a second late in closing out on him around the arc: Division III-link.

Go Blue!
