The biggest event on the radar is the National title game tonight...9:21 tip....be there
- UNC/Michigan State....contrasting styles (UNC runs, Michigan State dominates the glass and defends)....2 big-time coaches....2 big-time point guards....If there is anyone who can take this Spartan roster and match them up to the Heels, it's Tom Izzo.....but I don't see it.... It won't be a blowout by any means, too much fight in MSU, but I see a 8-10 point win for UNC...just too many athletes on the wing BUT the x-factor for Michigan State (if they indeed have one) is that UNC can be beaten on the offensive glass...undersized Villanova plucked 19 offensive boards....and Michigan State is the best rebounding team in the land....that could keep them around longer than we think...
- Derek Lowe dominates the Champs.....8 IP, 2 hits, 0 walks, 0 ER.....dominant, dominant line from Mr. Lowe...and 3 homers in the first 2 innings? Don't get used to that...but it can't be a bad thing....I take from this a renewed confidence in Lowe, but I don't really get too excited about the HRs from Schafer and Francoeur...it's one game...but I still hope it continues....Brett Myers was semi-awful early but rebounded, so that's a good sign for the Phillies.....1 of 162 though Braves fans....
- Sean Miller turns down Arizona....I loved this fit for Zona so this one hurts....The once-storied job has taken a Kentucky-like hit when people openly turn it down to stay at...Xavier? I don't get that one to be honest....but it's getting to crunch time in that coaching search....
- Portland and Utah clinch playoff berths.... 2 different stories here...the up and coming Blazers and the stalwart, consistent Jazz....I just thought their was some symmetry there....and they have a similar personality...neither can win on the road....at all.....
- Jason Kidd passes Magic Johnson for 3rd all time in assists....and became the oldest player to notch 20 of them in one game.....Well, put an asterisk by the 2nd one b/c they played Phoenix and scored 140(!)...but the first one? Wow....Seems pretty crazy....but then you realize Mark Jackson is in 2nd and it loses a little luster...lol
- UConn Women roll....again.....and face Louisville for the marbles.... Oh btw....They have won the 2 meetings previous by a total of 33.5 points a game.....good luck to the Cards...
- One baseball note....if there is one pitching matchup on opening day I'd pay to see.....it's definitely Felix Hernandez vs. Francisco Liriano....just keep that one in mind for me
