Cinderella Still Dances

As Davidson wins over Wisconsin, 73-56, and I prepare to watch the KU Jayhawks 40 minutes hence, a note to KU: don’t look past Villanova tonight. Do what got you to the dance, then immediately start looking at the Wildcats from Davidson. They are good.1

1 Lots of teams named Wildcats

They’re Tearing them a new one

Davidson leads Wisconsin, 69-50. 5:24 left. Hope the KU coaching staff reviews this game film very closely.

More Hoops

Ahh, what to do? Davidson leads Wisconsin, who I had picked to lose to Kansas in the next round, 57-45. I like underdogs, and Davidson has already won a warm spot in my heart after they took Georgetown out of the tourney last weekend. I have a shot at winning the pool; a Wisconsin [...]

Bye, Bye Georgetown

Of all the teams I’m glad to see punched out of the NCAA Tournament, I rank the Georgetown Hoyas at the head of the list. Ever since their former coach, John Thompson, became the first US Olympic bball coach not to make the medal round, because he used the Olympics as a [...]

Congratulations, General

THe best college coach to ever tread the hardwoods coached his 900th winning game last night. Bob Knight’s Texas Tech Red Raiders were victorious over Texas A&M, 68-53.
It was fitting that the victory was over a nationally ranked team, and happened on Texas Tech’s home court.
Coach Knight had this to say about [...]

Busman’s Holiday

Enough turkey, Shiners and football for a bit. I’m flipping back and forth from QVC to the Washington Redskins game, whilst upgrading the Toshiba laptop to Fedora 8.
I normally do fresh installs; this time I’m doing an upgrade. This all in spite my carefully making backups of valuable files, in preparations for a [...]

Wait until March

No Kansas Jayhawks in the preseason mens hoops poll?
Yep, that’s what it says. But, that’s also why they play the game. Hopefully, I’ll be cheering more in March and early April than I am right now.
