Sunday Afternoon Thoughts...

1. Don't sleep with on Coach Cal! Will his Memphis Tigers return to the Final Four? No, they won't. Will they be a tough out next month?!? Most definitely. They crushed a solid (17-4) Gonzaga team on the road last night, 68-50. Highly touted freshman Tyreke Evans had 22 points and we have never seen Robert Dozier (18 & 10) play as well as he did last night.

2. Can't wait for Wednesday's North Carolina-Duke game! It says here the Tar Heels will win by double digits. Duke has no one who can even remotely guard Tyler "I'm Jumping Off The Balcony" Hansbrough. The Dukies only hope?!? Maybe Gerald Henderson will punch Hansbrough in the face again, like he did two years ago.

3. This A-Rod stuff is downright boring! Seriously, is anyone surprised?!? Jose Canseco basically told us this two years ago.

4. Learning about a legend! The Playmaker was held scoreless for over half the game yesterday. Then he went down hard, courtesy of a cheap-shot elbow to the head. He stayed down for a minute, got up, refused a sub and dried off his tears. Then over the final 15 minutes of the game, he exploded for 10 points on 4-5 shooting -- including nailing his final 4 shots. After the game, we told him the legend of The Microwave, AKA Vinnie Johnson.
