Talked with a neighbor of mine who actually played for VCU (though long before Smart got there) and follows the team closely.  He said that VCU actually didn't play press for most of the defensive time this year, because Smart didn't think he had the players to keep it up.  So, he's not as wedded to it as I had thought.  My neighbor thinks Smart's main problem at Texas will be that he's not a very good play designer; VCU hasn't had a good half court game under him.  He thinks that Smart may recruit well enough that that will not matter so much, though - he'll depend on Jimmys and Joes and not Xs and Os.

Well he will fit in well with the program Tom Penders and Rick Barnes built.

Wisconsin is at least giving Kentucky something to think about here.

Upset city, baby!

When did they start this Kentucky "stream"/Wisconsin "stream" bullshit?

See, this is why I like college basketball.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

See, this tournament was always gonna be a win-win for me.  I hate UK basketball, so seeing their dreams dashed amuses me, but OTOH, had they gone 40-0, I would have gotten to see history being made.

Shitty officiating, but a great game regardless.  At this point I get second place in my pool if the Badgers win and Tommy gets first if Duke wins.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
