Wouldn't it have to be this one? Just look at it — look into him — for a good 30 seconds. See what develops. ... Read More

    All that talk of toughness, heart, grit, passion and hard work is going to be crammed down your throat by the likes of Vitale, Bilas, etc... in '08-'09 as Tyler Hansbrough has (intelligently) decided to stay for his senior season. The brief statement on Psycho T's decision was released by the school. Whether you're a Hansbrough fan or not, amidst the Beasleys, Durants, Odens and Roses of the world, he helps ... 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

Despite the fact that the two teams are anything but a guarantee to play each other on Monday, Bruin Roar has put together a cute, Photoshopped collage of Hansbrough-inspired comedy. Many of you may not know, but the band above that Hansbrough is singing for is Guster. I Love. Guster. (What a random choice for Bruin Roar to pick out ... I don't know if they knew who the ... 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

Rather than dissect each team and tell you why any squad can win ... I'm going to go the opposite way. Let's have some fun. 1) Because Roy Williams is a phony. He also says the word "crap" too much. It's unsettling. How great would a loss to Kansas feel for all of us after his rant to Bonnie Bernstein in '03. 2) Because Ty Lawson, to Williams' own admission, turned his ... Read More

Michael David Smith over at Fanhouse linked me up yesterday, so I have to return the favor and share this video that aired on College GameDay this morning. I think Hansbrough's tone for this segment is f'ing hilarious, because he's so damned serious about it. We take ping pong fucking seriously! If Duke's student section was really smart, they'd get knowledge of this segment and buy as many ping pong paddles as ... Read More

Since Duke is near no ghettos, I can only imagine that a few Carolina fans had to burp that out of their system as the seats emptied last night. Duke was very workmanlike and you'd even think this was a Battier-led team, the way they handled themselves in the 89-78 win under the circumstances. But no, they are a bunch of undersized, overachieving kids that have their hateable qualities, but also ... Read More

Or something. And y'know, for all the reasons that Duke can be hateable, UNC fans (and their coach) have plenty of reasons to be mocked and ridiculed as well. (Need I remind you? Six second mark is what I'm referring to here.) As for tonight, Dickie V is back just in time from his vocal chord surgery to scream his lungs out over this one. C'mon, don't tell me that you ... Read More

I'll admit, I was rooting pretty hard for Davidson to pull it off, but it did seem like they got a little shaky under the pressure as the game moved towards its ending. However, the win will look good on their resume come March. So that's something, right? UNC 72, Davidson 68, in case you missed the final score. Wayne Ellington was pretty much the reason that the Tar Heels got ... Read More
