I nearly hit the Kansas/Kansas State game. I’m getting good at this.

I missed the Marquette/Georgetown game. A really good road win for the Hoyas, who I think have begun to fix whatever problem was ailing them a few weeks back. For Marquette, this isn’t a huge loss. They were competitive and really, I don’t think the loss puts them any lower in seeding. Look for a big Big East game this week when Georgetown and Louisville tangle down the road from me.

Stanford continued to surprise me (though I did pick them to win) by topping Washington State (who is also continuing to surprise me, by playing like crap down the stretch). Stanford has solidified itself as the second best team in the Pac-10. Yes, I like USC to make a run, but for now, Stanford is hot. Thursday night, Stanford travels to LA to play UCLA. An even bigger game than the Georgetown/Louisville matchup (Though not the biggest of the week. More coming on that in a few days).

The great news of the day, for me, was Texas’ loss, which helps Tennessee be closer assured of having a number one seed. It also silences, at least temporarily, those people who thought Texas was a better team than Kansas. Texas’ loss also gives Patrick Knight another in a long line of illustrious wins in his long and fulfilling coaching career.

Matthew has asked for my breakdown of the America East tournament. Ask and you shall receive. That’s just how we do. Tomorrow, after all AE teams have completed their seasons today, you will have my breakdown of the conference tournament.

I also intend to give my readers a preliminary bracket this week, though my better judgment may take over.

John Henry is approaching genius status. He has enrolled Hank “I’m a HUGE loser” Steinbrenner into Red Sox Nation.

Game O’ The Day: There is a big part of me that wants to show my bias, and no, not the one for which this blog is named, as that doesn’t actually exist. My intention was to have UCLA @ Arizona be the game of the day. However, it really isn’t. I also don’t want to give credit to the Big-10 and acknowledge that Indiana and Michigan State is a big game. Also, Tennessee hosting Kentucky is not a monumental game. And the Lakers/Mavericks game isn’t a great game because the Lakers are clearly the better team. Therefore, my game of the day is the NASCAR race at Las Vegas today. I’ll take Matt Kenseth. Please don’t stop reading my blog.
