    Good move by Kramer to get the ball on the other side of the rim where Texas A&M #0 (not sure of his name) couldn't block it.

    Anyone who had Siena to beat Purdue on Friday, is kicking themselves in shock. The Hummel-less Boilers are heading to Houston next weekend.

    I have them losing to Duke, but I questioned it every step of the way. MSU is still shocking the hell out of me.

    So the Big 10 has more teams left than the SEC, Big 12, ACC or Big East?

    Shows the margin of error. Without those buzzer beaters, Texas A&M and Maryland leave the Big Ten with only 1.

    Sweet 16 matchups

    East -- No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 12 Cornell, No. 2 West Virginia vs. No. 11 Washington
    South -- No. 1 Duke vs. No. 4 Purdue, No. 3 Baylor vs. No. 11 Saint Mary's
    Midwest -- No. 5 Michigan State vs. No. 9 Northern Iowa, No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 6 Tennessee
    West -- No. 1 Syracuse vs. No. 5 Butler, No. 2 Kansas State vs. No. 6 Xavier


    Some pretty good games in that mix, on paper.

    Which only means the Big 10 teams got it done in crunch time and the other guys didn't.

    I'm surprised ESPN hasn't cut the Tiger interview short so Bilas and Co. can start rationalizing the shitty ACC & Big East showings.

    I can't say. I have no idea firsthand what he was like in HS. I never heard of Jeff Foote before he came to Cornell. But I have read the same exact version of his story over and over again, though. There were a number of stories about him after the Kansas game this year, because he outplayed Cole Aldrich. And there have been stories all week because of the tournament.

    Here's today's version from the NY Daily News.

    Looks like Purdue-Duke is the only chalk Sweet 16 matchup.

    Kentucky-Cornell has got to be the complete polar opposite matchup of tournament history in every concept of sports you can imagine, from type of school to sociocultural factors to, well, everything.

    Crazy, odd match-up, eh?

    I'm trying to find an advantage here for Cornell. Kentucky is just so athletically superior, in a way that Temple and Wisconsin aren't, and John Wall is damned good. The best I can find is that the game is in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, which is maybe a 75 minute drive from Collegetown in Ithaca. But Kentucky basketball is going to travel pretty well for a Sweet 16 game. Crazy, crazy match up, though, isn't it?
