Last Saturday musing

Hat tip to Brett McMurphy for this: We just had a Big 12 team win the Pac-12, a SEC team win the Big 12 and a Big 12 team will win the Big East. Thanks, BCS.

Missouri sure has been fun to follow and Frank Haith's emotion after the game is why we love sports. For all the grief Mizzou got for hiring him, he did a great job letting those guys play like they were recruited to by Mike Anderson instead of pigeonholing them into his system.

Though Kentucky has "scuffled", I am more impressed with them than before. This is a young team that doesn't get rattled but instead responds however they need to. Defensive stops? Big shot? Free throws? Doesn't matter. Hate 'em folks but don't doubt them. Florida played almost flawless today and it wasn't enough.

Ripping the Pac-12 is easy but great job by Tad Boyle in Colorado. Left for dead after losing its best players and getting left out by the committee last year, the Buffs get it done.

Finally, Memphis is the proverbial hot team right now. Granted, they're thrashing Conference USA opponents, but they look pretty damn good. No 2 or 3 seed will want to see them.
