When I say us, I remove myself because I only kinda dislike them because they eliminated my beloved Florida State Seminoles in the “Sweet Sixteen. The hate? Well that is reserved for Leonard Hamilton’s offensive coaching ability, but that’s a whole ‘nother story that we can discuss at a later date.

The story that we can discuss at this date is how VCU [...]

How they lost: This was the first game all season that Ohio State was matched in athleticism and size. The difference in the game was Kentucky big man John Harrellson, who finished the game with 17 points and 10 rebounds. He was the one of the few defenders who could match Sullinger’s strength, and for the first half it was Harrellson who got the of the matchup.
Harrellson made his[...]

I guess VCU will soon become a trending term. Virginia Commonwealth University might become America’s sweethearts since we have no true cinderella this march madness season, and America loves an underdog story.

It’s fitting that Purdue University’s initials are PU, given the way they played tonight. At least on the defensive end, where they surrendered [...]

A classic back-and-forth title game between a perennial juggernaut and a celebrated underdog delivered huge ratings for CBS.

Duke’s 61-59 victory over Butler on Monday night earned a 16.0 overnight rating and 25 share, the highest for a national title game..

If your bracket is not completely busted hopefully you can enjoy day two of the tourney. Day one almost wore me out by the end of the night with the San Diego St missed three pointer, a failed upset pick of mine, then Wake Forest knocked out Texas. That was the theme yesterday, there always seemed to be at least two highly intriguing games going on at once, and the tourney opened…

Until we get the actual brackets on Sunday night it is entertaining to look at the daily updates to ESPN’s Bracketology.  This has been an up and down year with no clear cut season long favorite outside of Kansas.  That means that the final four will not be comprised of the very best four teams [...]

It’s that time of year again and let the Madness Begin at Sportsjabber.
With March Madness rapidly approaching, it’s time to start our tournament pick em. The group is on Yahoo. It’s easy to do, doesn’t take a lot of time and is open to anyone. Only thing we ask is to be eligible for [...]

But we have all month to discuss [...]
