Friday Sweet 16 Thoughts

A. I wanted to post Neidermeyer's "Pledge Pin" video to highlight Matt Howard but I can't find it anywhere. Damn. WTF America!

B. Marquette went down like I expected by getting owned in the paint. It's not a problem when you hit your shots and don't turn it over but when you go 16 minutes like that, game over.

C. Carolina is good but there's a lot of stupid basketball they play.

D. Best of luck to Jimmy Butler. Great player for the Warriors. Buzz's 1st recruit. Please stay Buzz!

E. Stupid Richmond. I'd have liked to have actually picked a score right and missed this one by a hoop.

F. Calipari outcoached Thad Matta. See, Thad...your athletic department spends more per victory than any school in America and the least you can do is outcoach Cal.

G. Brandon Knight with two winners. Lebron is not impressed.

H. On the same day Sweater Vest gets more exposed and closer to removal, tOSU basketball team loses. Too bad.

I. SEC sends 2 to the Elite 8 for the 2nd straight season.

J. KenPom has been touting Kentucky all year arguing that their losses have come mostly on the road and by small margins and not to dismiss them. Yet, Butler is still rated like the 40th best team in the land. Stats....

K. FSU with two gut punches in two weeks. Still, great season for them.

L. VCU, 11 seed, CAA...just sayin....

M. Brad Stevens uses statistical analysis more than most coaches in college and likes to play 2-for-1 at end of game situations while most college coaches don't (FSU in overtime). He has a pretty good resume, dontcha' think?
