Quote of the day

"Tyler Hansbrough is to hoops what robots are to manufacturing: efficient, ruthlessly effective and utterly depressing to watch."

Boy howdy, true words indeed.

Last week's ballot

Dropped Out: Louisiana St. (#12), Miami FL (#23), Boston College (#24), St. Mary's (#25).

Comments - None. we are just too tired right now. It's 1 am over here. Memphis still deserves number one spot. And we were foolish to rank an SEC team.

Liveblogging: UNC vs. Duke (now)

Sorry for the late notice, we just decided to do this. So come join us (warning, our liveblogs are definitely NSFW)!

Who will win and who will die by a cruel act of fate?

War Room: Vermont

Nothing snarky, just some great footage of the University of Vermont preparing for the American East Tournament and a possible bid to get into March Madness.



Happy Friday and good luck Catamounts!

Definition of a bloodbath

Ohhh, look at the pretty crimson...

Kansas, LSU, Purdue and Oklahoma were awash in red this morning, drowned in a pool of blood by lesser opponents. We would definitely say that the start of the Madness is officially here.

And as is the way of the universe when something is born, something somewhere else dies. It's the circle of life, man. With that, tomorrow will be our last column for Sports Illustrated for the season. It was fun but somewhat taxing with all the other stuff we had going on. Maybe we'll be back. Who knows?

No really. Go away.

We all know about the insane amount of violence that happens during high school basketball games.

But do those animal teens need to come to our universities and do the same thing?

Part of Duquesne University was put on lockdown Thursday night after shots were fired at a campus parking garage, police said.

Police said a pair of 15-year-old boys approached three people from behind on the third floor of the Forbes Avenue garage around 7:30 p.m.

Officers responded quickly, as they happened to be working just one block away at the City League high school basketball championship game between Allderdice and Perry at the A.J. Palumbo Center.

There are some that feel sad about the current state of the youth in this country. They take "THE G**DAMN PLANE HAS CRASHED INTO THE MOUNTAIN!" attitude about the crisis. Not us. Gets us pretty angry. Last thing we want is to be taken out by someone who doesn't even have self-consenting rights yet. Hey NCAA, ban high school games from college campuses!
