Crazy Day of Hoops

What a day of hoops. Before I talk about the tournament I want to give applause to the NCAA for getting the tournament on four different cable channels. Instead of watching regional coverage on CBS you can now watch all the games on four different channels. Thank you NCAA for the great work. The first game today was a big win by West Virginia over Clemson. The Tigers led early by ten before the Mountaineers went on a run to start the second half and put the Tigers away. Also the Butler Bulldogs starting another run at the Final four with a 60-58 win over Old Dominion on a buzzer beating layup by Matt Howard. Two more upsets occurred as Morehead State knocked off Louisville and Richmond knocked off Vanderbilt. Both of these games were won late. Pittsburgh and San Diego State advanced big and. The two other games were also buzzer beating wins making the higher seeds advance. Temple advanced as Fernandez hit a leaning jumper late and Kentucky beat Princeton on a late lay-up by freshman Brandon Knight. A great of hoops is half done. More talk about the action tomorrow night. A few more quick notes. Due to the NFL Lockout my boy Chad Ochocinco has decided to tryout for the MLS team the Sporting Kansas City. I say if anyone can do it Ocho can. In Chad we trust. Also last night in spring training the Yankees might have found another starter after Ivan Nova threw 6 perfect innings in a 10-0 drumming of the Orioles. One more note about the Yankees is that Joe Girardi has named Brett Gardner as the lead-off hitter for opening day putting Jeter in the 2 hole. Joe knows best. Thanks for reading, send questions, and enjoy the tournament. I'm Out!
