Selection Sunday is Here

Is there anything worse than Duke winning? Seriously. It just kinda ruins my day. The sky gets darker...the sun goes away. Syracuse and Duke are on my most disliked team list for this NCAA tournament. The comparisons of Redick to McNamara by Dookie V only strengthened my opinion of both teams. Why could the Reverend Al "Green" Skinner lead Boston College to the win over the Dookies? That will be the last time I ever cheer for Boston College.

When officials call off a basket due to a foul or a walk or whatever, they wave their arms in a fashion similar to a missed field goal in football. I get that...but I don't understand the rest of their motion...they kinda skip on one leg with the other leg in a half kick and bounce about 4 steps out on to the court. This isn't an isolated incident...it happens all the time. Why? Sometimes they do the same move in conjunction with a charge. Is it for emphasis? Is it required? I'm serious about this question.

The Cameron Crazies say that Sean May eats babies. But, seriously, look at Sheldon Williams. He seriously looks like a man who would eat a child or two. And maybe a fully grown adult.

Dickie V was in full Dook mode for the entire Boston College/Duke game. I'm guessing his comments went 70/30 pro-Duke. My favorite moment is when Williams made a block (and a foul with a no-call) and Dickie V said "There was no foul there?" And then caught who he as talking about and said "that's just physical play." And then he was pleased with a foul called on the other side on a similar play. Ah, Dickie V.

There's an at-large team somewhere that got really lucky that Florida held on to beat South Carolina. The Gamecocks were close...making a great run at the end of the game but a failed blockout ended their hopes of an NCAA berth.

Only a couple hours away from the NCAA Tourney selections. Should be interesting...I'll write on that stuff either tonight or tomorrow...well, sometime before the games begin.
