Madness Mentionables

Are white people now the majority among elite college basketball teams? (see Cornell, Duke, St. Mary's, Northern Iowa) Maybe 'elite' isn't the best word...

Tech would have been ranked #1 in the country throughout this entire season if they had guards that were worth a shit and a coach that wasn't retarded.

I want to like Australia University (aka St. Mary's) but I find it hard to. Irish Catholic University with the mascot, 'the Gaels'?!? Maybe it's because they are from Cali and have players that look like this

Kentucky looked decent yesterday. In 5 years people will look back on this team and say they are up there with the most talented ever. They have 4 guys that could be GOOD pros. Hopefully if they make it, Cousins doesn't call a timeout at the end of the championship game.

Villanova shouldn't have gotten a bid. They looked like crap in both games they played.

There is no doubt that the gap is getting smaller among the 'premier programs' and the mid-majors. Any expanations?

This has been one of the best tournaments I have watched in a while. Day one was incredible and the games today have been pretty incredible.

Thank God for CPH.

I'm on a big time hot streak picking games.

Duke will win 1 more game.

March Madness never disappoints.

Down year for the Big East, SEC, ACC, and PAC 10.

That video really is five years of Georgia Tech basketball condensed into five minutes.

Duke is going to win it all.

The gap between major programs and mid-major programs is going to continue to close. The major reason is the continuing trend of elite players going to the NBA early. The days of a Tim Duncan staying 4 years is long gone. 20years ago the best players might leave after 3 years. Now they are going after 1. Bob Knight has said that the new NBA rule will only increase parody.

This tournament has been awesome to watch. But the parody and number of high seeds making the Sweet 16 shows why college basketball would not benefit as a whole by adding 32 teams to the tourney.

Totally agree about not expanding, JJ.

No need to mess with something when it's working.
