Relive Siena-Ohio State, if you'd like. Though the game was played through mud for most of it, the drama was plentiful. We may not get a more frenzied 20 minutes the rest of this Tournament. Wisconsin steals it last night in Boise. Jeremy Pargo proving, once again, he likes to smell the iron. Tennessee-Oklahoma was pretty entertaining for 40 minutes. And Eric Maynor couldn't be the hero this time, as the trendiest upset pick, ... Read More

  You knew it was happening with Love. I thought Westbrook would be a little more intelligent about it all. The news they want everyone to know up front: They're not signing with agents! Here's my little retrospective on Love: In my humble opinion, this beast of a kid had a chance to be a Top 10 all-time college player (in a dream world where he stayed all four years). I specifically chose ... Read More

Well, I got this one right. Don't worry, I just jinxed myself from correctly picking Memphis to win it all. A few quick hits: -I'll absolutely be putting up that sweet back door pass from Rose to CD-R, who then slammed it in Love's grill (followed by an immature pointing-and-laughing display by Dorsey). -Derrick Rose has gotten more impressive with each Tournament game he's played in. Are we in for the ultimate climax? -Both ... Read More

I got an e-mail that explained why my UNC breakdown was wrong and inaccurate. Uh ... I remind you that some of this is tongue-in-cheek.  Still, I love the fact that many of you read ... just don't be afraid to comment, y'know. 1) The ball can't bounce their way every single time. 2) Jordan Farmar is playing in the NBA. 3) Between their sloppy play, inept-at-time offense and escape acts against inferior ... Read More

Just to put it all on the table, here's what we're looking at this weekend. The four teams combine for almost 6,900 wins, over 300 Tournament wins, 17 national titles and 51 Final Fours. Roy Williams will be coaching against his former team, Kansas, where he never won a national title, but made four Final Fours. You can make the argument that there are 19 potential NBA players playing amongst the four teams ... Read More

Yes, everyone loves Stephen Curry and what Davidson is doing ... remember that they're in the same bracket as Kansas. Remember that they now go against a Wisconsin team that everyone undervalues. (How will Curry react/play when he suddenly goes against the most physical team he's encountered since December?) What about Western Kentucky? All they've got going for them is some late-game mojo (first true buzzer-beater since Drew Nicholas in '03)  ... Read More

I really wanted A&M to pull the upset out on Saturday night, but twas not to be. Ah ... but Uck-Lah got a little help from the zeebies! Here's the video, which you've probably seen. Here's the evidence. And as a post-note, the NCAA appropriately took away Russell Westbrook's emphatic dunk, as it came just milliseconds after time expired. Too bad. This UCLA team is begging to be taken out. I hope WKU ... Read More

This is a ridiculous, straight-from-H-O-R-S-E shot by Josh Shipp. However, it's against the rules to make that kind of shot now in any level of basketball (and has been for a number of years). So you've got that missed call and before that you'll see another clear foul on the Bruins that was also not called by the officials after Kevin Love's unexpected 3. Let the record now show: The ... Read More

The alarming nature of this play as it happened in real time was much more impressive, but I promised to put up the video, regardless. ... Read More

Words aren't really needed here. Come to your own conclusions. But I will say that this is not how you get Kevin Love's phone number. ... Read More

Sorry for the long headline, but I really wanted to get the message across. Take a second to glance at the athletic prowess of UCLA's Kevin Love, as it is depicted so well in the picture above. Yes, Michigan State will battle a Darren Collison-less UCLA team tonight at 10 p.m. ET on "the deuce" as they used to call it. It seems that Michigan State might be a little ... Read More
