RETRO: stupid texas

I don't know what the Sixers are doing. Sure, they might be only a few games out of the playoffs. But they're also only a few games out of second to last place. DAMMIT! START LOSING! Boston is winning more and Milwaukee will too now that they dumped Terry "I coached two teams? Really?" Stotts. What will be better for the team - getting destroyed in the first round of the playoffs and getting a middling pick that will keep the team at a medicore state, or losing big and getting a potential franchise player? I WONDER! Getting a prime forward in the draft is way more than they can do now. Quit already.

This has been a very wacky NCAA tournament in its complete absence if wackiness. No really huge upsets, and even UNLV and Vandy aren't so surprising given their overrated opponenets. When was the last time NONE of the 4 or 5 seeds lost in the first round? I can't even remember it. This sets up some intriguing matchups, not including Texas and the player everyone wants to see. As Bill Simmons has been saying all season long, Rick Barnes wasted the only year he's ever gonna get from Durant. Too bad. He also ruined my one bracket, and probably the whole thing, since I'm guessing enough people have my other teams making it and either UNC or Georgetown. You're dead to me, Rick.

I still say Ohio State over Kansas, but that scare with Xavier worries me. Florida didn't look great, Texas A &M almost lost, and the Pitt-UCLA matchup is going to make me laugh in some way or another. We'll have to see how.
