I watched the first half and after thinking I might be watching high school JV teams. I went to 48 hours mystery. A lot more drama! Big Willie got it right this time.

I have to agree. I didn't watch last night and probably won't watch tonight. While it's a pleasure to see Georgetown play so well, I'm a bit tired of it. Same thing goes for Pittsburgh. I think the main difficulty is that neither of the teams we're seeing play tonight are undeniably amongst the top 10 in the country. In fact, I'd say that even though we have a bunch of one loss teams, nobody has really, truly impressed me. UCLA is probably the one team that stands out. Maybe it's because I haven't been paying as much attention to the greater landscape, but UNC, Duke, and Memphis's records don't say much to me in their week conferences. And when I look at teams like Texas and Wisconsin -- well, I just think they were a lot better last year. My Nostradonaldmus theory: it's going to be a really crazy NCAAs. Well said, Big Willie.

Now, I'm kind of glad I didn't go. I'll watch the game tonight....for a while. Not excited at all about this matchup. Glad I didn't shell out the $100 face value for a ticket to this game.
