Congratulations to the Huskies

Congratulations to the University of Connecticut on its NCAA Men's Basketball Championship last night.  If you were in a coma the Huskies beat the Kentucky Wildcats 60-54.  I didn't watch the whole game because I don't like either team.  And I watched less of the NCAA Men's Tournament this year than in the past because my beloved Missouri Tigers played like crap down the stretch and didn't make it to "The Big Dance".

To UConn I say job well done!

OK so I'm Not a Hoops Guru

Well, if you read the post below this one, you"ll see I picked the Butler Bulldogs to win the NCAA tournament. OK, I was wrong, sue me. I sure hope you didn't bet any of your hard earned money on either of those teams. The game was uh, how should I put it....UGLY to say the least. As a friend of mine put it "if that game were a girl, I would have had to have really thick beer goggles to take her home". I thought Butler would shoot better from three point land than what it did. I did not think UConn would play defense as well as it did. So, the bottom line is congratulations to the Connecticut Huskies. I still think the Big East is a bunch of thugs.

NCAA Tournament Goes to the Dogs

The match up is between Huskies and Bulldogs. The Connecticut Huskies and the Butler Bulldogs. Personally I will be cheering for Butler. I think they will win the game. They have a better defense, and championship game experience that UConn doesn't. And if Butler is able to hit their threes, Connecticut will have a long night. The so called experts have installed Connecticut as a three point favorite. And the CBS talking heads are unanimously picking UConn. I disagree. Butler will win by three. Let the game begin.

MIZ ZOU RAH!!!

My Tigers picked up their 31st win of the season last night by knocking Memphis out of the NCAA tournament 102-91. Mizzou jumped to a 24 point lead with 16 minutes left in the second half and then held on to pick up the win and move into the "Elite Eight".

Those may have been the longest 16 minutes of my life as the two teams stopped the clock on almost every possession with fouls. A total of 77 free throws were shot with Mizzou making 30 of 45. I was at my favorite watering hole and as the game ended the familiar "MIZ" "ZOU" cheer was heard echoing through the bar.

This may be the best MU team of all time. This squad has more wins than any team in school history and is only the fourth Missouri team to make it to a regional championship. Up next the top seeded Huskies of Connecticut.
