NCAA tourney musings


I watch sports and I am here to tell you that Kansas is a lock for the tournament. Julian Wright pwns the Big XII. In Lawrence, they speak in reverential tones about the length of his....wingspan. Rock, chalk Jayhawk indeed.


I watch sports and let me tell you, I'm not ready to give up on Justin Dentmon. His stats are pretty similar to Will Conroy's after two seasons. Then again, Will Conroy was a badass. It's a little known fact that as a sophomore at Garfield High, he fathered Kevin Durant. Dentmon on the other hand has been known to perform spoken word poetry that is only marginally harder than the works of JJ Redick. Truly, Dentmon's career is at a crossroads.

Memphis has a team full of players that can jump high. If the baskets are raised to 11 feet in the tourney, they are a huge threat to win it all. If the baskets remain at 10 feet, the Tigers' inability to master fundamentals such as shooting will hurt them.

Remember when the SEC was awesome? What happened there?

  • Kentucky can't recruit McDonald's All-Americans anymore.
  • Arkansas hasn't been a threat since people started respecting them a decade ago.
  • LSU despite a surprise run last year has been mediocre for the most part.
  • Besides Florida, the best teams are Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Tennessee's best moment this year was when their coach painted his chest at a women's game.

Perhaps it's best to stay away from the SEC when filling out your bracket.
