The Madness begins...

1. Great to see Kentucky bow out of the SEC in the first round, having lost to LSU, 67-58. We seriously have to wonder how much longer Billy Gillispie hangs around Lexington. It's just not a good fit for either side.

2. Shocking that Georiga Tech lost to Florida State. We're not high (at all) on Tech coach Paul Hewitt.

3. Conference USA is a frigging joke. The Playmaker (age 7, mind you) could start for any team not named Memphis right now (right now!)! We love Coach Cal. But if Memphis gets a top seed on Sunday, we will frigging go out and cap someone.

4. No, we did not make it up for the 6 overtime classic between Syracuse and UConn last night. (Fact is, most people who said they did are lying.) We will, of course, DVR it on ESPN Classic tonight for weekend consumption. The Huskies going down, combined with Pittsburgh getting pistol whipped by West Virginia, leaves the door wide open (wide open!) for Our Louisville Cardinals to win the conference championship Saturday night. And if that happens, we could possibly be looking at THREE Big East teams Bogarting number one seeds Sunday night. Oklahoma lost last night to OS-Who and its Traitor of a Coach, Travis Ford. Who else could get a top seed outside of North Carolina and the Big East trio of UConn, Louisville and Pitt?!? Maybe if Wake Forest somehow wins the ACC they could sneak in. Then there are the aforementioned Memphis Tigers. They are 28-3. Of course, that's not that hard when you play in Conference USA. Normally, they play a brutal out of conference schedule. Not so this year. Cal's Kids played Xavier, Georgetown and Syracuse. And that's it. Oh, yeah. They lost all three of those games! There is no way they deserve a top seed.
