And there were three.  And the names I am about to mention are probably not expecting to be called.  But it comes down to Laura, Trish, and RIW Jr.  The Kansas loss really hurt Laura.  No one picked up any points on her as a vast majority of people had Kansas winning, but she really [...]

What better way to wake up in the morning than to hear the news that Jordan Williams has decided to Enter the NBA draft.  I think I’d rather have heard “It’s Raining Men”.  At first I thought it was a dream, and it didn’t really hit me until I was in the shower, that what [...]

In ten years when we think of this season, the lone highlight will likely be the play of Sophomore center Jordan Williams.  Today that play earned him honorable mention All- American.  On the season he averaged 16.9 points and 11.8 rebounds.  Not to take anything away from his play and the accomplishment, he was one [...]

For the tournament overall, yesterday was a banner day as the Butler Florida game turned out to be one of the highlights of the Tournament to date.  The night cap of UConn-Arizona also was interesting.  We can only hope that we get two more great games this afternoon as Kansas seeks to knock off VCU, while [...]

Things are shaking up now.  Two number 1′s have left the building, and best news of all is that one of those was Duke.  I wish I could say that updating these pools this morning really put my 4th grade arithmetic to the test, but truth be told, there wasn’t much to add. With that [...]

With the way the basketball season ended, I have been looking for something to get excited about.  Sure we had the Women’s basketball team to be hopeful for, but they fell to Georgetown in the second round, so it was back to square one.  Sure enough, spring football is right around the corner for the [...]

Looking for some good news?  Based on these brackets I keep crossing off, I’m guessing the answer is yes.  The Baltimore Sun (via the South Florida Sun Sentinel) is reporting that 6 Hurricanes will be suspended for their opening Football game in 2011 (See Here).  Why is this good?  Well because we open Labor Day [...]

I’m not telling anyone to stop reading our site, but some of you no longer need to keep up with the contest.  If you are one of those people and you are still checking in, we really thank you for the support, because you are the loyalist of the loyal.  The highlight of yesterday’s action [...]

The basketball gods read my post yesterday and took heed as we were rewarded with a great day of Basketball.  In fact yesterday featured one of the most unbelievable games in Tournament memory.  When Butler hit a layup with 2.2 seconds left, who would have thought that the drama was just beginning.  A foul, a [...]

Let’s be honest.  Day Two not really that exciting.  I think the highlight of the day is perhaps Tennessee mailing in the 2nd half against Michigan and basically ending the Bruce Pearl era in the Volunteer State.  Georgetown losing to VCU is also news as for the first time I can remember, a play in [...]
