Thank you sir, may I have another...

Don't live in the past.

That is always good advice and especially good advice when the past sucked. Last Saturday Night didn't work out too well on various levels so I am going to pretty much skip over that evening except to extend my congratulations to the Pittsburgh Panthers who did the unthinkable. They won 4 straight games against good teams, culminating in a win over the Hoyas. I honestly didn't think Jamie Dixon's guys had it in them.

The Hoyas enter the Big Dance with a 27-5 record with two of those losses coming at the hands of the Panthers.

UMBC is up next down in Raleigh. Game is on Friday. Tip is approx 2:40pm.

Ok one more thought from last Saturday Night: Wanna know how I feel right after the Hoyas lose a game that they should have won?

This is pretty how I feel when they lose and I've had a few shots.

Pretty good huh? Looks like the life of the party wouldn't you say?

Random College Basketball thoughts on the Eve of Tournament:

John Thompson, Jr wears crocs. I wonder what store makes size 22 crocs available for purchase. They have to be special order items right? I am going to go out on a limb here and predict that there isn't a huge market for such an item


Steve Lavin shocked the nation last night during the play-in game by not putting any sort of product in his hair. He looks like a totally different dude.

Sidenote: Does anybody like Brent Musberger? Yeah I didn't think so.

UCLA: I think too many people (myself included) are picking them to make the Final Four. I might have to readjust my bracket just because they are getting on my nerves.

George Mason: Am I the only one that is getting tired of hearing the following slogan: George Mason is this year's George Mason. Clever.

Verizon Center: What a terrible slate of games for the afternoon session. The scalpers, that I assume just never leave outside of the Arena, must be bitter. Ironically enough I was just offered tickets again.

I wish Pitt was the four seed in the MidWest.

I would hate to be the three seed the draws the conference tournament champ from the SEC. Congrats Xavier!

South Alabama. Have you ever considered Alabama to be Northern???

Ok I am leaving...I will be sure to post my bracket tomorrow before noon.
