It Looks Like We Lost To The Best
North Carolina is just simply a step above everyone else. They have steamrolled their way through the tournament, only taking a few naps during the regular season. So at least the Sooners were eliminated from the tournament by what appears to be a team that could probably place about a third to a...
National Championship Open Thread and We Have an SBN Bracket Bonanza Winner
It all comes down to tonight for Michigan State and North Carolina. The Spartans will try to avenge a 35-point defeat back on December 3, when they were experiencing injury and fatigue issues. The Tar Heels will try to win for the second time on the Ford Field court this season, but this time the...
On Monday Night, I'm a Michigan State Fan
On Monday night, I'll be jumping up-and-down. I'll be screaming my lungs out. I'll be cheering on that team in the green uniforms, with State emblazoned across the chest, like I'm a graduate. Hopefully, a lot. You see, it's hard for me to simply watch a game. I have to have a rooting interest....
Final Four Open Thread
The time has come for the National Semifinals. The evening starts with UConn, looking for their third title in ten years, taking on Michigan State, who is the first team to play in a Final Four in their home state since Duke in 1994. The nightcap features Villanova, the first three seed to make...
SBN Bracket Bonanza - The Race Going Into the Final Four
Rufus on Fire currently leads our little contest, with a sterling 46-14 record and 101 points. However, our resident Charlotte Bobcats blogger took Pitt to win the title (No love for the home state Tar Heels?), meaning he has very little chance to take the crown for this season. Who are our...
First Five Minutes and Bad Perimeter Shooting Doom Sooners
Pictured above: A collection of the Sooners' 3 point shots in Memphis today. The Sooners fell 72-60 in an Elite Eight showdown with UNC on Sunday. Anyone who was watching know that a few things doomed OU. Blake Griffin got his usual double (23 points and 16 rebounds). But nobody decided to show...
"Awesome Season, Terrible Finish" -- Kansas 62 Michigan State 67
This isn't about the season. If it was, it wouldn't do the game justice. The season, while naturally up-and-down given the extreme youth, was my favorite season of all time. It was so much fun to watch this team grow, from a team that looked UMKC's equal in its first half to Big 12 Champions. But...
Regional Finals Open Thread
Early afternoon television put me to sleep. (OK, not really. Getting up far too early for a Saturday and running around Northern Virginia did that. I use the term "running" very loosely, considering the moe-ron I got behind on a traffic-less I-66 who decided to do 45 in the fast lane whilst...

Kansas' Season is Over
No hardcore thoughts, here. We have months and months for analysis and double-taking and all of that. For now, it's time to commiserate. We all knew it was going to end eventually. There were moments when I thought just maybe, but it wasn't going to happen. We all knew the season was ending with...
