In the past years of this tournament there have been many great “heroes”. Think Bryce Drew, Ali Farokhmanesh and Bo Kimble. However this weekend will be remembered more for players who lost games for their teams then for players who won games with March heroics. This weekend alone I saw Texas lose a game on a 5 second call, Syracuse on a backcourt violation and Pitt on a missed ft followed by a bonehead foul. I have a feeling you’re going to see more of these stupid plays in the future as coaches recruit illiterate players who will never graduate.
Things I realized this weekend:
There is now a dove curse: You think any coach will be in a dove commercial next year? John Thompson. Spent too long filming the dove commercial he forgot to prepare for VCU.
Rick Pitino hints in his press conference he’s been coaching too long then is in the studio the next day. I know you will hear having his face on T.V is good for recruiting but you know what’s better for recruiting? Winning a game in the tournament instead of being the highest seeded team to lose. Watch out Rick, Shaka is ready to cash in and take your job.
Last thought: Bud Light has a “march to the championship game” campaign. Last time I checked the Championship game is in April.
