Sweet 16 Thoughts And Observations
1) There's Kentucky ... and there's everyone else. Before the Tournament started, it was Kentucky, UNC and everyone else. Now, with Kendall Marshall injuring his wrist as well as Fab Melo's suspension, every team still alive in East, West and Midwest (with the exception of Ohio) has good reason to...
Buick Human Highlight Reel and Final Four
As if we needed more incentive to root for our beloved Texas Longhorns, the good folks at Buick have offered to send a couple of Barkers to New Orleans if Texas makes it to the Final Four. The package includes two flights to New Orleans, a Buick to drive once they get there, a hotel room, and two...
Rick Barnes Gets A Raise and All Hell Breaks Loose
Rick Barnes got a boost in salary this week, and a lot of people had an opinion about it. Some Texas legislators thought it was "nuts" to hand out a raise at this time.

Scouting Report
Done with basketball yet? I am, although I admit that I do enjoy a nonsensical Fire Rick Barnes rant. Tantō, anyone? Some folks are into masochism (read: still absorbed in hoops). In the event you haven’t had enough, I recommend reading Trips’ wrap-up or a Jayhawk’s take on the state of the...

Some quick Arizona thoughts that should help you get a feel for what they're about. I've watched them play two full games, so I'm practically an expert. This is also your game thread. Wildcat Strengths - Derrick Williams is the most efficient multifaceted scorer in college basketball in recent...
March Madness: Sunday Open Thread
UNC currently down six to Washington and the Huskies have 10 team fouls to Carolina's 1. Wow. If we can find a PAC 10 official, we have a chance.
