Madness Is Upon Us, Please Leave As Is
Filed under: NCAA Basketball
With all due respect to everyone at CBS and ESPN who is huffing and puffing and raging and bloviating and trying to turn the NCAA tournament into an Armageddon-meets-Avatar extravaganza, can we acknowledge the truth here, please? This hasn’t been the most scintillating season for college basketball. Billy Packer, wherever he is, can rest assured he hasn’t missed much so far.
And there’s no need for Dickie V to try on a pair of 3-D glasses, knowing I might shoot myself if he does.
Yes, we’ve seen the brilliance of John Wall, the emergence of Evan Turner, the rise and potential fall of Syracuse, dominance from Kansas and a lot of nice stories, none a bigger relief than Rick Pitino getting through another year without a scene from an Italian restaurant. But with each passing season comes a harsh reminder that the sport isn’t as deep or compelling as it once was, before college hoops became a one-year feeder system for the NBA. March always will be fun because of fresh faces, fantastic finishes and the lure of the brackets, which still unite everyone from CEOs to secretaries who ask the mail-room guy about the glories of Wofford and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

South: Could Duke Be Vulnerable?
Filed under: Duke, NCAA Tournament
What would NCAA tournament Selection Sunday be without controversy?
Well, the debate in the South Region starts at the top where Duke received the third overall No.1 seed. Most didn’t even have the Blue Devils as a sure-fire No.1 seed despite winning both the ACC regular season and conference tournament titles in what has not been a stellar year for the league.
Was Syracuse more deserving of the third overall No.1 seed or should West Virginia have been a No.1 seed ahead of Duke?
Those are interesting debates, but the reality is Duke is the team to beat in the South and because of that, the South Regional may be the most wide open of the four regionals.
No. 2 Villanova, No. 3 Baylor and No. 5 Texas A&M have all built impressive resume’s in the much higher thought of Big East and Big 12 conferences. Purdue would also be part of that conversations had the Boilermakers not lost star forward Robbie Hummel to a season-ending injury.
The Baylor Bears could be the most talented of any of the teams in the South Region with big-time players like point guard Tweety Carter, shooting guard LaceDarius Dunn and power forward Ekpe Udoh, who began his career with the Michigan Wolverines. Scott Drews’ group could be helped by its run last season to the NIT championship game.
South: Is Duke Vulnerable?
Midwest: Kansas Gets Rocked
East: Kentucky Gets No Favors
West: Serious Questions for Syracuse
Texas A&M could make the regional interesting as well if the Aggies can avoid the first-round upset and get hot the rest of the way. Led by senior guard Donald Sloan, the Aggies were as good as any of the second tier teams in the Big 12 that lined up behind No. 1 overall seed Kansas this season.
