I felt bad for Duke because VCU did exactly what I'd tell my team to do if I was a coach: 60% three-point shooting. It was a classic tournament upset as the 'dogs were lights out from outside. Paulus shows flashes at times but should be blamed for a significant number of turnovers last night. It's not as if he normally controls the ball well -- this is not new. I think his passing fundamentals are terrible for a point guard, as he routinely puts his teammates in poor position to shoot or even maintain possession. My "chalk" BEology picks also went 15 of 16, missing just the Duke result. Take that RPI (13 of 16).

I would not want to guard Eric Maynor. My ankles would be seriously broken. Nice job with the Marquette pick, too. You only got one wrong today, huh? I was wrong with Paulus -- I think he's got a lot more game than I gave him credit for. I actually feel bad for him -- he probably hears lots of shit from dumb people like me, but he's got skills. Coach O -- I picked the Irish to go to the Final Four, but with my brain. I'm not sure which is worse -- me picking it with my brain, or you with your heart. Nice job with that pick.
