Yesterday was a great day of basketball and today has been…well, not as great. Still there are notes:
— A big shoutout to the Cornell Fighting Mark Courys, who took it to Temple and looked like the higher seeded team in their 17 point win. I was at a restaurant when Mark Coury hit a jumper for his only two points and the place let out a loud cheer for the former Kentucky hero. But even if Coury is a spot reserve, there is talent on the team. Randy Wittman’s kid is one of the best shooters in the Tournament, and they have a 7 footer, who has some talent as well. It is a fun team to watch and could end up being Kentucky’s Sweet 16 opponent.
— Tubby took his second first-round loss at Minnesota as they fell to Xavier. Smith played against a kid he once recruited for Kentucky (Kenny Frease), but the Gophers were never really able to get into a rhythm and Xavier controlled the second half. Up next for Tubby could be Auburn, where his visits to Rupp Arena would be very interesting.
— I love that the guy from Flight of the Concords is in commercials during the NCAA Tournament. I dont like virtually every other commercial that I now have memorized.
— Purdue wins and needs the Ivan Brothers to take over for Robbie Hummel.
— On the Kentucky side of things, the Wake Forest fans legitimately believe they can beat the Cats, which is cute. However the game is totally on the shoulders of UK. If the Cats give close to their best effort, they win by 10 (the line is 9). If they play poorly, it will come down to the end and its anybody’s to win.
Hey, did you know Steve Zahn was at the game last night? And I hear that the UK players did something nice for a girl’s 16th birthday. Did you hear that?

You’re right, Matt. That is cute.
March 19th, 2010 at 4:44 pm
I really dont see how wake can win… Barring our worst performance of the year…
March 19th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
I read on one message board a wake fan said no one on our team could stop their big guy mustafa our whoever he said certainly not boogie or pat, guess he never heard of the shot blocking fiend Babyface Orton lol

Wofford vs. Wisconsin turning into the best game so far today.
March 19th, 2010 at 4:48 pm
Ok, I now know who the Ivan Brothers are. I had to use the youtube. I kept seeing the name pop up.
March 19th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I agree with you on the &@$#ing HP commercial with Murray from Flight of the Conchords. Only one I’m OK with not &@$#ing muting immediately.
March 19th, 2010 at 4:49 pm
I know go big WOFF lol i cant believe people think a grandpa paced team like wisconsin is a threat to us
March 19th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Which commercial is it? Just get it started
March 19th, 2010 at 4:51 pm
So Wake Forest has a mascot which is an angry old man with male pattern baldness who loves tophats?
March 19th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
If the Cats give close to their best effort, they win by 10 (the line is 9). If they play poorly, it will come down to the end and its anybody’s to win.
If the cats give close to their best effort, they win by 30.

I’m cheering like crazy for Wofford. If Wofford wins today, and we win tomorrow, we’ll play the winner of a #12/#13 game. I’ll take it (even if Cornell is a bit mis-seeded).
March 19th, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Dude the wofford wisconsin game is a joke they are both terible typical big ten score
March 19th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
The whole “Fighting (Insert Quip)” thing is getting pretty lame. Too tired to be original?
March 19th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
Looks like a matchup with Cornell if we get by Wake. I can’t believe how boring Big 10 teams really are. It is painful to watch. Go Wofford.
March 19th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
wow wofford and wisconsin are terrible arkansas pine bluff could probably beat either team or etsu
March 19th, 2010 at 5:01 pm
And there were actually people here, talking about Wisc. could beat us.
March 19th, 2010 at 5:02 pm
BIG TEN = LUCKY FLOP
March 19th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Everyone thinks they can beat UK.
It’s because we’re young and they’re stupid.
March 19th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
Whats this clammering about Orton’s future next year that LEX is hinting about,anyone heard something?
March 19th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
# 20 - Yeah, coach Cal said it on the news, I don’t know whats up with that.
March 19th, 2010 at 6:11 pm
20 and 21 - What was said on the news?? I missed it…
Orton is going to be a BEAST (see Matt Pilgrim) next year…he can’t be leaving!!
March 19th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
I hope Tubby gets the Auburn job so Cal can show him how a great coach can whup him up each year.
March 19th, 2010 at 6:30 pm
13 points Matt…not 17.
March 19th, 2010 at 7:01 pm
How bout a shout out to former ‘Cat Joe Crawford’s little brother Jordan, now playing for Xavier and getting 28 points today to take down Joe’s former coach Tubby!
March 19th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
#23, nice point except we don’t play Aubuurn every year..
March 19th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
it would be fine with me if cbs ran “palm” spot with smokin hot girl in red dress walking down sidewalk during every timeout break the rest of the tournament.
March 19th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
#26 yes we do
