    Not sure where this idea came from that Temple is vulnerable to 3-pointers. In fact, it is 100 percent wrong.

    Just looked it up. Fact is, Temple ranked fifth in the nation in defending against 3-pointers, allowing opponents to shoot 28.5 percent for the season. The only team to enter the NCAA tournament with a better 3-point defense was Duke (27.8 percent, No. 2 nationally). For the record, Cornell is 193rd in 3-point defense.

    Da Man, I am looking at the texts I got on Sunday when the seedings and match ups were announced. Here was one that said what you did in less than 160 characters.

    "Cornell got a shit draw. Temple good D and defends the three. Tougher draw than should have got."

    Man, I've got to write tighter.

    The guy who wrote that reads on a third-grade level (no joke), except when it comes to sports, where he turns into an idiot savant. Be careful for what you wish for.

    Truck Bryant broken foot.
     
  6. He's the WVU Point Guard.

    Owl you beat me by a few seconds.

    Although, recently it seems he's been benched a bunch more in favor of Mazzula.

    Yikes ... he hasn't played well down the stretch, but it still stings.

    When was Bryant hurt? He looked OK, or at least wasn't favoring anything, Sunday.

    Well, I've got half of that nailed.

    Ugh, what's up with point guards and feet this week!

    So, who has more issues without their respective PGs: Michigan State or WVU?

    I gotta think the Spartans.

    Spartans for sure. Lucas is much more important to that team than Bryant is to the Mountaineers.

    Are we talking legal or strictly those on the court?
