Psycho T Too Much

Tyler Hansbrough

Tyler Hansbrough led all scorers last night in the UNC 83-73 victory over Louisville in the Elite Eight bout. Louisville gave UNC all they wanted, but in the end Tyler hit big shot after big shot to will his team to victory. Hansbrough ended up with 28 points and 13 rebounds, but most importantly a Final Four berth for his Tarheels. I am having a hard time thinking of another player in college basketball over the last 20 years who plays with as much passion and desire as Hansbrough does for 40 minutes every game.

Kevin Love from the Heaven Above

UCLA fans have to enamored with Kevin Love and his superior play as a freshman for the Bruins. UCLA easily handled Xavier last night 76-57 and have advanced to their third straight Final Four. Third straight! Love is fundamentally sound and is one of the best big man passers in the game today. Check out this video clip of Kevin Love hitting a half court shot, a 3/4 and a full court shot in practice. It looks so easy!

Joey Gathright is Quite the Athlete

Jose Canseco is Back

Jose Canseco

The man we love to hate is going to be back on the scene in the coming weeks due to his latest book hitting stores on April 1st. Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball is the name of his new book and it promises to have more accusations that will raise eyebrows and make players sweat. Two of the new names Jose unveils as steroid users are Magglio Ordonez and Alex Rodriguez. There was a ton of people who didn’t believe Jose after his first book and almost all the names rang true so do you believe his latest bombshells?

March Madness Weekend #1 Wrap Up

March Madness 2008

The first full weekend of the NCAA basketball tournament is in the books and it wasn’t without its share of upsets and exciting finishes. The upsets of the first round included #12 Villanova beating #5 Clemson, #13 San Diego defeating #4 UConn in overtime, #13 Siena upending #4 Vanderbilt, #11 Kansas St. tamed #6 USC, and #10 Davidson subdued #7 Gonzaga. I think without a doubt the most exciting finish of the first round was #12 Western Kentucky hitting a last second 26-foot three pointer in overtime to beat #5 Drake 101-99.

The second round had its share of Cinderella stories advancing to the Sweet Sixteen with #12 Villanova defeating #13 Siena, #12 Western Kentucky beating #13 San Diego and #10 Davidson out gunning #2 Georgetown. I think the NCAA tournament is always better when we have these sort of teams making it to the second weekend and who knows one of these teams might be the next George Mason.

Right now North Carolina by far looks like the team to beat after the first two games so it will be interesting to see if some of the other high seeded teams step up to the challenge in the coming games.

Having Trouble Sleeping

So in the midst of tossing and turning this evening, this morning, whatever it is right now, I look up at the tv, and what the hell is Kevin James doing winning the final table of a World Series of Poker Event?!?!
