There's something wrong with my TV
Call CBS. This cannot be right. Ohio State is winning at halftime? No, there must be a broken gasket in my television set. I'm actually not sure if this is good news for those of us who have picked the Buckeyes, but they certainly are playing better than they did in the last two gut-wrenching victories. We shall see.
While we're at the half ... anybody watch the end of that Rutgers-Duke women's game? What a victory for the Scarlet Knights, but you have to feel for Duke star Lindsey Harding. One free throw ties the game. Two free throws ... Read more
Elite Eight picks, baby!
SOUTH REGIONAL FINAL
No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 2 Memphis
Time: 4:40 p.m.
Place: San Antonio
Will this be the game the Buckeyes finally fall? They were on the ropes against Xavier last weekend and against Tennessee on Thursday night, but Thad Matta’s young squad showed veteran poise in winning both times. It would stand to reason that Greg Oden won’t be as ineffective and foul-ridden as he was Thursday. This is the second consecutive season in which the Tigers have reached a regional final. Like John Calipari or not, he’s got Memphis firmly in the ... Read more

It was a busy day for our resident expert/campaign director. After watching his pick to win the national championship play its past two games, Bracket Boy has decided to turn to the secret lab into a campaign headquarters.
“We must elect Ron Lewis for President!†our bubbly bracketologist boasted after his man scored 25 points to lead Ohio State from the graveyard to a thrilling one-point victory over Tennessee.
Hillary? “I bet you she didn’t even enter an office pool!†Obama? “Lewis has played more years of college ball than he’s been a senator!†McCain? “He might be big on ... Read more
Another thriller. We're getting spoiled.
And this ending, I have to say, might be the best yet. This time, somebody didn't miss a shot or brick a free throw. This time, the players on both teams made winning plays. I really thought Vanderbilt had this one when they went up four late, but hand it to Georgetown: They're resilient. And Jeff Green can play on my team.
Did Green travel on that last play? It was veeeery close. You probably blow the whistle on that one in the first half, but I'm glad the refs let it go here. That would be an awful way ... Read more
