I really enjoyed Bracket Buster Saturday, but you know what
would've been the real deal? How about "Blockbuster Saturday?" That's
right fruitcake, and my showcase game, at midnight, would've been
Stanford and St. Joe's!
So many topics to talk about, so little space.
How about the Manhattan Jaspers traveling to Milwaukee and
trouncing Bruce Pearl's Milwaukee-Wisconsin team? I must say
that Coach Pearl had a great 'motivational' speech in the locker room
before the game, he had me so pumped that I went into my son's room
and threw down a two-handed dunk on his puff basketball net.
The Jaspers are going to win one, possibly two games in the Big Dance.

Watch out for the Western Michigan Broncos. I was very
impressed with them this past weekend with a big overtime victory over
the College of Charleston.
My guy, Coach Martelli took the right approach in responding to
a certain basketball analyst who has no faith in my beloved Hawks! But
remember, this guy happened to have 5 future NBA players on his team
one particular season when he was a college coach and didn't win
squat! "Nonsensical."
Take the high road all the time!
My wife put me on five days probation without any TV because I watched
too much hoops this past weekend. I'm appealing?
Is it me or does it always seem like Wake Forest is always
playing on Fox, on Sunday night?
So did you see where they brought back Regis Philbin to host
"Super Millionaire?" He must be getting fed up with his obnoxious
blonde co-host on the Kathy Lee & Regis show. Oh wait, Kathy Lee has
been long gone?
Please watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm", I have a feeling that if
you are reading this column, you have that type of personality where
you are already watching my man Larry David.
Can a conference possibly get eight teams in the tournament? Yo, ACC,
everyone in the pool!
Have you ever heard of Kosen Sultan? Well you better because
he's from Turkey and checks in at a very tall 7'8'
Why do celeb's only attend hoop games, and courtside mind you, when
the team is winning?
Also, why even wait until next fall to play the World Series? Let's
just start Yankees/Cubs this week from Wrigley.
Think Cleveland Cavalier 'back-up' guard Dajuan Wagner wishes
he was back on campus with the Tigers at Memphis?
New York Knicks guard Allen Houston is upset every time he

Allen, do something on the floor before you start talkin' that stuff.

Kevin Houston when you need him?
Has anyone seen Stephen F. Austin play this year?
Texas Tech Lady Raiders are having a great season!
Shaq, Big Ticket or The Big Fundamental; whom
would you rather have? It's not even close?
Why does Jim Gray always interview Kobe after a game? I
want him to interview Phil Jackson or Jack Nicholson; or even a
Laker dance girl. I'd even go for a Penny Marshall interview.

Deron Williams from Illinois is the most underrated guard in
the country.
Did you see where St. John's beat Georgetown? Speaking
of SJU, they were robbed against Virginia Tech at the end of
the game on a bad call.
Bob Kravitz from the Indy Star had an interesting
article on college basketball in the Hoosier State by writing this
could be the first year since 1972 a school representing the State
will be left out of the Big Dance. I'll say Valpo makes it to
the tournament?
Sean Penn got "jerked" in the SAG awards Sunday night.
Have you heard the latest with the 'Hackers' on the Internet? Well it
seems like they are now 'blackmailing' these on-line gambling
websites! They want some cheese?
