10 Random Thoughts from the Opening Round

1. Thursday was the best day of the tournament in recent years. Friday was a case of Red Dog.
2. Wisconsin better be tougher on the glass because their offense is Dick Bennett bad at this point. To get outrebounded by Wofford despite a clear advantage is redonkulous. Every trip where Leuer doesn't get a touch should result in Bo Ryan's head exploding in rage. I read that he's a lottery pick and he plays like it.
3. Jordan Williams could be the poor man's Blake Griffin.
4. Ohio proved the easiest way to upset a team is by making every shot possible.
5. Speaking of which, the Big East is 4-4 as of right now and 'Nova looked terrible but Marquette and Notre Dame were overseeded and Georgetown ran into the wrong team on the wrong night. It happens.
6. I still think the Rick Pitino era at Louisville is very close to being over. If Oregon's athletic department wasn't such a mess, wouldn't Phil Knight waving a check at Rick be tempting?
7. Xavier is quickly becoming my second favorite team in college basketball. They're fun to watch.
8. On seeding again, Cornell is not a 12 and that wasn't some kind of epic 12-5 upset. Hell, Cornell might be better than a 5.
9. Jimmer!
10. New Mexico State fan is outraged over the ending of their game. They should be outraged their best player made two insanely dumb fouls and they went the last 8 minutes running offensive sets like a rec league team. Look in the mirror, gents.
