I wish I could. In fact, I did, for many years. The first Friday of March Madness was always understood to be a "sick day" for me. Sadly, I cannot this year.

I've had too much work to give a full update, but I'll have time to catch up tomorrow. But I do have some more finals:

Kansas State 82 - North Texas 62 = I guess this is a good-enough showing for NT, as they stayed within 20 of a much more talented team.

St. Mary's 80 - Richmond 71 = Yeah, I picked the Spiders here. My bad. In my defense, this St. Mary's team has been like too many others this year . . . impossible to figure out. They lost to a crappy USC team by 11, a briefly over-ranked Portland by 5, got beaten twice by Gonzaga in the regular season, then spanked the Zags by 19 in the WCC tourney final. I figured they'd shot their wad. Shows what I know.

YYYEAAAAAHHHHH BABY!!!!!!

Ha Hahh, been smiling all afternoon!!! I only got to hear the game intermittently at work, and at 3:15, decided I'd had enough and headed for the house to see the end. Freaking vendor calls me on the way home, with 1.5 minutes left, and I thought I was going to miss it. Easley fouls out as I put it in the driveway, and so I had just enough time to see the last 20-30 seconds. As good as the game seemed to be, I appear to have been lucky enough to see the best part of the game . 22 years is a long wait, but...

Wooooooohhhhhhh!!!

The buzz on the Net is that Villanova did not actually win that game against Robert Morris . . . the zebras gave it to them. Now I saw some questionable calls myself as they made their move to push it into OT, but I did not see the extra session. Did anybody here? I'd be interested in objective opinions, if you can manage that.

Glad you enjoyed it, Joe, and all the best of luck to them against Butler. Hey, if they can take Vandy, they can certainly take them too.

But if you think YOU'RE happy, consider the Ohio Bobcat fans. More to follow, once I have my AM stogie.

Man, that was a nice smoke - a JR Ult. Petit Cetro Maduro while sitting out in front of the shop flirting with pretty girls in the parking lot on this lovely last day of winter. But enough about me an my tough life.

That Murray State win can be considered an upset, but not a huge one. In fact, some experts gave them a good shot at the victory, and they proved them right. And some are calling the Northern Iowa game an upset too, but they are wrong. Although I did question their ranking earlier in this thread, it was not because I thought they were a bad team. They have some good offensive options, and play good D. Besides, no 8/9 game can be called an upset. However, there's no doubt that the win by Ohio U over Georgetown was one of the biggest in recent history. Remember, two weeks ago the Bobcats were dead, while Georgetown was regaining their power, and made a run to the championship game of the Big East tourney. Be honest now. If you had OU in your bracket, you either know nothing about basketball or you thought it was OSU instead.

So far today, 15-seed Morgan State is hanging tough with 2-seed West Virginia, as is 12-seed Cornell with 5-seed Temple. I'd be surprised if they hold onto it, but after yesterday . . . who knows? One game I do see as a possible "upset" today is Siena over Purdue.

If you guys want to discuss any of the games from yesterday, or today, such as the Wake win over Texas, the survival of Tennessee, or the squeekers Kentucky and Kansas had, please feel free. Later.

Well, it's official now, just like I've been hinting at all season long: After 6 seasons as head coach of St. John's, Norm Roberts was fired today. Although he took the Johnnies from the 6-21 debacle under Mike Jarvis to a 17-16 record this year, and a bid to the NIT, that was not enough to save his job.

The fall of this storied program had nothing to do with this poor sod, and I feel for him. As for his compatriot at Seton Hall, Bobby Gonzalez, who was canned two days ago . . . well, that was his own damn fault for being such a screaming psycho @$$hole.

As I expected, WVA has gone into the break with an 11-point bulge. But Cornell is still 9 better than Temple, with 5 1/2 left in the 1st.

8 minutes into the 2nd, WVA spanking Morgan State like a red-headed stepchild. Action's started in the other 2, but no significant change yet.

Cornell still up 10, but plenty of time left for the Owls. X-men up 5, so that's far from over too.

While the subject of the Washington/Marquette game is fresh, lemme make another point: Marquette's loss, plus Notre Dame's and Georgetown's, and with Villanova needing OT to take care of Robert Morris, and couple that with opening-round NIT losses to St. John's, Seton Hall, and South Florida, and also U. Conn edging Northeastern by 2 there . . . well, maybe now you understand why I've been calling this the Big Mouth Conference for years!

My friend, I can only quote the great Woody Durham, long-time broadcaster for UNC, who'd always say when the Heels were down late: "Go where you go, and do what you do." It may not help them, but it ain't gonna hurt them either.

Final: West Virginia 77 - Morgan State 50 = The margin is fine, but seems awfully low-scoring for a 2-15 game.
