Talk the Talk, Jayhawk the Walk

Down 9 points with 2:12 to play. There's no chance you're going to win the NCAA men's baseketball final. But that's what the Kansas Jayhawks just did. The Memphis Tigers gagged/choked/spit the bit, etc., the game away, missing one free throw after another in the crucial final minutes of regulation.

Then Mario Chalmers hit a 3-point shot with 2 seconds left to send the game to OT and Kansas dominated in a 75-68 win. Congrats to coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks.

The Boring Man

After watching endless hours of college basketball this weekend, much of it with the sound off (there's only so much Billy Packer you should be exposed to), we've confirmed something we already knew.

The college basketball coach is the most boring personality on the planet. Seriously. They all talk in the same raspy, cliched voice. Whether it be Pitino, Calipari...whoever.

They spend 40 minutes screaming at their kids, screaming at the referees, pacing, gesturing, jumping, and giving boring pre-, mid-, and post-game interviews.

The games have been great, but leave the sound off.

We Was Scaid

Just like many of you, we're invested in a NCAA BBall pool. Xavier nearly gave us fart hailure this afternoon as the bulldawg of a team, Georgia gave the X-Men fits. It was 64-61 Xavier with under 2 minutes to play, but Xavier put it in double figures before the final horn.

Early finals:

Xavier 73 Georgia 61
Kansas 85 Portland St. 61
Michigan St. 72 Temple 61

What were the odds of all 3 losing teams scoring 61 teams.
