Daily Wrap Up

I've seen a lot of college basketball today and most of it has been below average. UNC looked good but I suspect that it had more to do with Hofstra being hot trash than the Tar Heels being money.

Pitt is not the #4 team in the country. They will be lucky to finish 4th in the Big East. You can take that to the bank.

Robert Montgomery Knight is so much better at providing color commentary than Dick Vitale. What separates Bob from Dick is that Bob actually spends time talking about the game that we are all actually watching. Dick is more interested in talking about Austin Rivers - a high school senior that is going to Duke. Weird.

Hey remember when I said that all of the games were bad? Well that's not entirely true. Illinois - Texas is pretty good. It's got the feel of a 4-5 game in the Sweet 16.

Dining Out - I haven't been to Carlos O'Kelly's in awhile and I probably won't be going back anytime soon - unless of course I'm looking to butcher some of my favorite songs on Karaoke some random Thursday night. The tacos take forever to "make" and they aren't that great once you get them. I think everybody involved was in the mood for soup, but Pho in Fairfax closes earlier than you think. Most likely 9pm. Lesson learned.

Dining In - Brendan picked up a new addition for our kitchen in an odd place - The Bass Pro Shop. On the appliance it says that it is part of the "Sportsmen Kitchen". So this new edition makes Beef Jerky and is in absolutely no rush to do so. 14 hours is what the instructions claim as the cooking time. I think it's fair to call that "taking your sweet ass time". I'm not really into beef jerky but I'll have to at least try it. If you turn the TV down at WTR, you can hear it "working" in the kitchen. Rocky is dying to try the final product. I think he might sleep down there tonight.

OMG Vitale is talking about Duke again.

The more I watch of Texas, the less I think that Rick Barnes knows how to coach. It's obvious that he knows how to recruit, but coaching, I'm not convinced. There isn't enough evidence to support such a claim.

We are headed to overtime at the Garden. I love Madison Square Garden. I wish Georgetown played there more often. When you see a game at MSG, either in person or on TV, you know that it's big time. The only problem with MSG right now is the gigantic Reese's Peanut Butter Cup signage right near the foul line. Talk about an eye sore. Is nothing sacred???

You know a lot of people are talking about Georgetown both taking and making 3 pointers at an alarming rate through 3 games. Well my rebuttal to that is that they are seeing a lot of zone and they are taking GOOD 3 pointers. They are open shots and they have good shooters. I suspect Wofford to play more man to man defense tomorrow which will result in more back door cuts for the Hoyas. I doubt we see more than 18 attempted 3's tomorrow from the mighty Hoya Saxa.

I'm not sure how scientific this is, but I'm willing to say that headaches are contagious. I wonder if a bag of skittles would solve mine. Well either way I'm going to go watch the rest of this game from my room.

Until next time....
