Ok...so the NCAA tournament is all but dead to me (not really, I'm just disgruntled). Kentucky battled and battled but just couldn't get it done. Not much more I can say about that. Joe Crawford played his heart it, but to no avail. Props to Marquette for showing up and doing what they had to do and getting the victory. This, however, is where the props end.

As many of you know, Xavier ended up winning after trailing for much of the game. But the intriguing thing here is the box scores. Could someone please explain to me how Xavier went to the free throw line 33 times and Georgia only 5? Yes, that is correct...33 attempts to 5.

Well it's here. We are literally 38 minutes from the first tip of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, as I'm typing these words. Make that 37. Living in Northern Kentucky and working in Cincinnati, OH, I am currently having to hear all these Xavier (X) fans going on and on about how "great" they are. There is no denying they have had one of their best years ever but all the "Johnny-Come-Lately's" are all in my ear about how great X is and how they would roll Kentucky (UK).
