More Duke Hate
Let's count the blessings in this world. Duke is out of the tournament Day 1. Woo Hoo. Uconn didn't make the NIT woo hoo. Glory Glory. Duke was bad enough to lose to VCU whose coach looks like he should still be attending classes in college. The only thing that could have made this loss finer is if Paulus and/or McRoberts were seniors and cried like little babies ala JJ Reddick.
How about the fact that Duke was winning the whole entire game basically except for the final minutes or the fact that VCU handed them the tying basket only to stick the dagger in at the other end. Thank you VCU, I may have gotten you wrong on my bracket, but I think I'll survive.
#2 Game of the Day, the Only Other Good Game
BYU Xavier went down to the wire until Danny's boy Austin Ainge decided to handle the ball and throw the game away for BYU by missing the tying shot with 15 or so seconds left and then down by 4 dribbling around on the ground in the paint. Too bad this game wasn't on tv at all except for the final minutes. For the most part I was stuck with Indiana Gonzaga.
Never Bet on Bobby Knight
I always pick them to win in the first round and they never ever do. Well except for that one year when they made it to the Sweet 16. But I always fall for them anyway. Perhaps it was a pick against the overly inconsistant BC more than it was for Bob Knight. Anyway this game looked close until the final 6 minutes.
The rest of the games can be categorized as Lame, Lamer and Lamest. Hell the favorites covered in all 8 afternoon games.
Lame
Louisville vs. Stanford, I wanted Stanford to get crushed, they did so only lame.
Maryland vs. Davidson, Looked like an upset was brewing, but no.
Lamer
A&M vs. Penn, Penn made it a game for awhile then stopped scoring.
Butler vs. ODU, Even more pronounced here, ODU didn't score for 7 minutes.
Vanderbilt vs. GW, I have Vandy in the Sweet 16 the beatdown was a good sign.
Gonzaga vs. Indiana, a decent matchup for awhile better than most.
Michigan St. vs. Marquette, would have been a tight game if Marquette scored early
Wazzu vs. Oral Roberts, and everyones upset special goes down.
Lamest
UCLA vs. Weber St., perhaps I was wrong about them winning by around 15.
Georgetown vs. Belmont, a beatdown surprise.
North Carolina vs. Eastern Kentucky, #1 seed vs. 16 seed = boring.
Ohio St. vs. CCSU, Oden could have scored 80 if he wanted to.
Pitt vs. Wright St., friggin blowout central yesterday.
