MARCH SADNESS!!


Is your bracket busted yet?

Chances are if you picked Duke to go to the final four, your bracket is fucked at the hands of West Virginia and Rhode Island's own Joe Mazzulla. Yeah, the same Joe Mazzulla who Coach K called the MVP of the game, the one who came off the bench to flirt with a triple double, while grabbing 11 rebounds versus ACC "powerhouse" Duke.

Nothing makes me smile quite like a Duke loss, but the game was doubly awesome as we got a chance to sit back and watch as another star was born on college basketball's greatest stage. Beating Duke is only a small part of what makes this West Virginia team dangerous. For one, Duke simply isnt that good. Make them play your game and make them miss the three point shot and you might as well be shooting fish in a barrel.

Not one player, with the exception of Greg Paulus' has shown me an ounce of heart during this entire season. DeMarcus Nelson was bent over by the Mountaineers' Joe Alexander and after being rejected and heckled, was held to just two points. This isnt a team that was ready for any kind of championship, and I feel bad for people who had them going further than the round of 16.

DAVIDSON!!

Davidson has been the story of the tournament so far, as their one man team is running roughshod throughout the bracket. Davidson first appeared on the national map by defeating UNC ten years ago as the heels stumbled out of the gate and managed an 8-20 record. Good to see they've finally arrived in the NCAA's, as their story is becoming this years "cinderella"

FINAL FOUR
From the "good gambling news" department, all my final four picks are still alive, as opposed to last year when only 2 of my 4 teams survived the first weekend of the tournament. Texas, UNC, UCLA, Kansas are still alive, although I dont think that UCLA has what it takes to win it all. My pick is still UNC and they WILL win the NCAA championship this year.

Back after class with more links, as well as some albums for dat ass....
