More Tourney Talk
We clinched our Big East under with Pittsburgh losing to Xavier in the late game yesterday. That leaves the maximum Big East wins available at 15 and even that would require Syracuse meeting West Virginia in the championship game. It more than makes up for a disappointing round two gambling-wise. Of course, even though my bracket was one of the losers in the kickass Maryland-Michigan St. game, it’s still worth replaying their final 22 seconds below.
It’s also worth noting that 12-seed Cornell (+9 versus Kentucky Thursday) absolutely shredded two of the better defenses in the country in Temple and Wisconsin over the weekend. Cornell is the top 3-point shooting team in the country, but unlike other top 3-point teams Utah St. and BYU haven’t hit a dry spell yet. Kentucky has a very good defense and Cornell will need to rebound and continue to shoot well to have a chance.
Just got going on MLB season win totals, hope to have those up in the next week or so as the NCAAs (and NIT) are winding down.
Lastly, the Onions Award for the 2010 tournament will be given for this shot, and I can’t think of any circumstance that would cause me to change my mind.
