    Brackets

    Mine were busted long ago but there are 2 folks on top of the ESPN leader board who have the first 3 teams to get to the FF. One has KY and the other has UNC as their final team. Unbelievable.

    Roy is crapping his pants.

    Yes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem.

    I am rooting for UK about as hard as I root for any team to beat UNC, and with extra gusto given the regional final.

    I need a shower.

    How does it make Jay look like a fool? Based on the selection criteria that the committee had outlined there were 3 or 4 teams with better resumes than VCU 2 weeks ago on Selection Sunday. Totally independent of the fact that VCU was good enough to make this amazing tourney run.

    I just texted the same thing to my best friend from my time at Duke. Blech.

    Jay does look like a fool. He was right that there were teams with better resumes, and he's right that tournament results can't retroactively be used to judge selection or seeding, but the gap was never anywhere near the margin that he was making it out to be, and he let his tone get unprofessional. Actually the entire tone on ESPN was embarrassing, and the fact that they complained about UAB and VCU and not Penn State or USC is IMO pretty telling.

    I cannot bring myself to watch the UNC/KY game for more than a minute because I am afraid that I give UNC good luck when I turn it on. I'd feel a lot better if KY were up by double digits.

    VCU was the better team today but they are not better than KU. If VCU shoots 40% from 3 above their average and KU shoots 20% from 3 below their average, KU wins. Say what you want about VCU's defense and offense but they just got hot at the right time.
    Ok so KU shoots their average at the stripe which means they hit about 19 instead of 15, they still lose. You miss free throws when you're at the line, under pressure, losing to a team your supposed to be on another plane than, and you find that suddenly your not necessarily confident in yourself or your team. That's a team that doesn't show poise under pressure and a team that loses in a one and done tournament.

    KU probably would have won if they went to where they had the advantage - on the inside with the Morris brothers and with Taylor slashing at will.

    If VCU shot 40% above their 3 avg and KU shoots just 20% below, VCU still wins btw.

    Ugh. Did you just turn it on again?

    Kentucky just has to keep hitting those clutch threes. That never fails, right?

    I don't care if it doesn't make any sense, but this makes our loss much easier to take.

    So ... The two sleaziest coaches go against each other. Who do you root for (other than the opposite side of the bracket)?

    I feel dirty. But I kind of liked it. It's OK to be dirty sometimes, right?

    Fair points on the tone of the Selection Sunday special on ESPN.
