Rather pleased that Raftery is doing back-to-back championship games. Big East last night, A10 today.

Don't know if anyone's watching the SEC final but Marshall Henderson is doing a pretty good but rather brash JJ impersonation. Ole Miss up 6 with 6 minutes left.

The Havoc defense is really showing out now for VCU. 13-1 run. Only down a point now with 8 and change.

What Florida has done this year, with NO wins by fewer than 10 points (and their two closest wins to the same team, Alabama) is both amazing and amusing.

I want them in our prong -- as our 3 if we're a 2, or as our 4/5 if we're a 1. If we lose to them it'll be a blowout, meaning it wasn never meant to be.

Ole Miss seals it! Likely a bit of bid thievery.

The Rebels skin the Gators 66-63.

Stat Nerds everywhere cry out in pain.

Go check out Florida's results. If it's possible to game Pomeroy, Donovan has done it.

Yep. According to all the mathematics touted by ESPN, KenPom, etc. Florida is the 2nd coming of the UCLA dynasty.

In fact, on ESPN.com, they have a story up proclaiming Florida the best team in America.

While watching Wisconsin and Ohio State grab, push, slap, and brick jumpshots over and over and over, I got to thinkin', this is why the B1G hasn't won a title since 2000.

They can't score. There's no skill to their game at all, it's just beat the crap out of each other until the final buzzer. Then, when they get out of the conference, they can't keep up with 21st century basketball.

They like to be called The SEC of basketball, but there's just 1 difference - the SEC wins titles.

Well the two narratives will be either they beat each other up too much or that the game was called too tightly compared to B10 games. I will agree that this is what will kill a team like Wisconsin who relies a lot on that type of game play.

I will say that when IU met Michigan or MSU, the game was played very well and it didn't seem overly physical. So when they meet good teams, those teams are capable of playing well.
