Well, if Coach Romar has finally convinced his players to play up to their early-season hype, then good for him. He picked the right time to do so, for sure. But don't think Alford can't coach a little too, since he took a lot of the good . . . and damn little of the bad . . . from Bobby Knight.

I don't think the Lobos are going to keep UW out of the Sweet 16. The squad is playing like most of us thought they should have played all year. Should be another good game though.

We'll see soon enough, brother. Good luck to both squads.

To go back to that Cornell win for a second, I've done some research. That's the 1st win for an Ivy school since #5-seed Princeton beat #12-seed UNLV 'way back in 1998. As for the Owls coach Fran Dunphy, he extends his NCAA losing streak to 11 straight, and is now 1-12 in his head coaching career in The Dance.

Talk about your wallflowers!
