Greg Anthony and Seth Davis (who, remember, is really Billy Packer in disguise), those are the fools I’m talkin’ about.
Before the title game last night, they both hyperbolically extolled the virtues of Sparty. They picked Michigan State to win the championship. Destiny rides again, or so they duped themselves. At which point, I said to [...]
See the merry-go-round over here to the right.
Take a close look.
Notice who is not riding a wooden horse? That’s right, yours truly, rumor monger to stars and stalwarts alike, Seedy K. I’m taking a break here.
I am suffering from overload. Coach Cal to UK. The Rick to Arizona, No wait, he says he ain’t goin’ [...]

Carolina won easily. As expected.
So they play Villanova, my favorite team for the rest of this year.
UConn plays Michigan State, my second favorite team for the rest of the year.

And one of them is not the University of Louisville Cardinals who were double-digit bested by Michigan State in the Elite Eight.
Kerthunk.
I’ve got a story to write for the print edition of LEO. I’ll check back later, probably in the morning, with some observations in the aftermath.

Just so you’ll know what the Cardinals are getting into this afternoon.
This is Michigan State’s sixth Elite Eight appearance in the last 11 years — leading the nation. Since expansion to a 64 team field, the school is 4-1 in the Elite Eight.
Under Izzo, the Spartans are 13-2 in the second game of a weekend [...]
I’m forever fascinated by teams like Mizzou.
They have an OK but not stunning regular season and conference tourney. Then all of a sudden they’re three games deep in the NCAAs with a shot at the Final Four.
You watch a team like the Tigers with that relentless Forty Minutes of Hell D and shake your head. [...]
As is par for the course for such affairs, not much new was said at today’s official U of L and Michigan State press conferences that we haven’t heard a thousand times before.
We’re really excited to be here.
The other team is playing really well. We have the utmost respect for Coach (Fill in the name) [...]
Of all the confusing juxtapositions, get a loada this.
Besides the MidWest Regional here in Indy, there’s the Indiana boys high school finals over at Conseco.
Besides the MidWest Regional and the boys high school finals at Conseco, there’s a Mary Kay convention at the Westin, which is media headquarters.
So, you know, it’s hard not to think [...]

It’s still the first half of both late Thursday night games. Nova is up only 4 on Duke. Mizzou is up 9 on Memphis State.
In both games, the favorites are behind and are being out-quicked and out-toughed.
Coach K and Coach Cal are all over the refs, the latter already has a T. Awwwwwwww!
Memphis State looks [...]
Imagine my surprise when the first familiar smile I saw upon entering Indy was . . . The Heavy Hitter.
From a big ol’ billboard on the southern edge of town — Darryl Isaacs.
Wonder what he’s doing here? The guy’s a Cats fan.
Anyway, at the arena, it was interesting to note that Danny Manning doesn’t do [...]
