Bracket Breakdown: South

Round 1

1 Ohio St. vs. 16 CCSU: The lone Connecticut soul has a favorable matchup, it shouldn't be a big issue for their 6' 2 center to dominate Oden in the paint. Winner: Ohio St.

8 BYU vs. 9 Xavier: So who's watched either of these teams play this season, not me not me. Xavier has their old coach staring them in the face, perhaps a little extra motivation. Winner: Xavier

5 Tennessee vs. 12 L Beach St.: Looking at L Beach's credentials I don't really understand why they got a 12 seed they didn't beat anyone this season. Nighty Night Snoop Dogg. Winner: Tenn

4 Virginia vs. 13 Albany: Another team I just don't see any quality wins on their resume is Albany. And I don't think any of the high ranking ACC squads are going to choke during the 1st round. Winner: UVA

6 Louisville vs. 11 Stanford: I was leaning towards the upset for awhile despite my hatred towards the Pac 10 then I looked at Louisville the past few weeks and with the exception of their loss in the Big East tourny the Cardinals have been streaking including road wins at Marquette and at Pitt. Thus more Pac 10 bashing. Winner: Louisville

3 Texas A&M vs. 14 Penn: The Quakers will try to make this game utterly boring, and they will probably succeed by getting blown out. Winner: A&M

7 Nevada vs. 10 Creighton: A lot of people will have Nevada knocking off Memphis in the 2nd round not me. Adios Fazekas. Winner: Creighton

2 Memphis vs. 15 N Texas: All that is known about Memphis right now is that they are fantastic at dispatching mediocre teams. 30-3 with no big wins. Winner: Memphis

Round 2

1 Ohio St. vs. 9 Xavier: Ooh Ohio rivals and to boot Thad Matta's old stomping grounds. I wonder if he will enjoy kicking the crap out of his old school and assistant coach. Winner: Ohio St.

5 Tennessee vs. 4 UVA: Chris Lofton vs. Sean Singletary that's pretty much what this game comes down to. Whoever is hot will most likely win. This game is pretty much a toss up but I'll lean towards the Vols because UVA was a much different team on the road then they were at home. Winner: Tennessee

6 Louisville vs. 3 Texas A&M: I think this will be a thrilling game as Louisville is playing their best ball of the year and A&M has Acie Law who can make any shot on the floor with time winding down, which he will need to do in this one. Winner: Texas A&M

2 Memphis vs. 10 Creighton: Memphis is always everyones whipping boy to get upset but I'm not going to fall for it. Like I said prior they beat mediocre middle of the pack teams. They will beat Creighton make the Sweet 16 then exit. Winner: Memphis

Sweet 16

1 Ohio St. vs. 5 Tennessee: This game went down to the wire a few months ago but this is a vastly different Ohio St. with a much more impressive and dominant Greg Oden. The Buckeyes beat the Vols again this time a little more comfortably. Winner: Ohio St

3 Texas A&M vs. 2 Memphis: I said they were going to get bounced in the sweet 16 and I uphold my promise. Memphis' losses were all to decent big conference schools with their only decent win coming against Kentucky. Winner: Tex A&M

Elite 8

1 Ohio St. vs. 3 Texas A&M: I'm riding the big guy in this one. I don't think that anyone in this bracket can stop him from grabbing a ton of rebounds and picking up 6 to 10 easy high percentage buckets. I like Acie Law just don't see him as being enough to kncok off Oden and the Buckeyes.

Winner: Ohio St.

Think you're confusing Penn and Princeton. Penn actually plays uptempo, looking to get out and run the break.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
