Back-to-back three-pointers by Xavier, and Bill Raftery has morphed completely into the Were-Raftery. Howlin’ at the moon, baby!! Meanwhile, West Virginia blew coverage on an inbound pass and left Xavier’s Lavender WIDE OPEN outside the arc.

Tennessee is on pace to score 16 points in the first half. I wonder which Bennett is coaching the Volunteers? Cornelius?
I just realized it’s a lot harder to blog about these games when there are fewer of them to jump to. Last week, this game would have been dropped from the airwaves faster than Cavemen. This week, with only two games at a time, we’re stuck with Tennessee-Louisville for the moment, which is about as painful as watching Cavemen.

Did you know Coke Zero has the same great taste as Coca-Cola, but none of the calories? Makes you wonder why they don’t just stop selling Coca-Cola and replace it with Coke Zero, doesn’t it? Also, this Tennessee-Louisville game has been the sloppiest showcase of tournament basketball I’ve ever seen.
11:33
I would have thought talking babies in commercials were passé, but eTrade has taken the idea to new heights. A baby with an adult man’s voice buys stock online and then spits up. It’s fantastic.
11:36
Seriously, did Tennessee practice this week? They don’t look like a two seed. I’ve never seen a team seeded this high play this poorly. They appear lost defensively and intimidated every time they drive to the basket.
11:49
Tennessee: 0 points in last 3:33. Adam Underhill: 0 words in last 12:44.
12:11
Finally, CBS has switched to the Western Kentucky-UCLA game, which is now a four point game after WKU was down by 21 at the half. I’m out of my stupor and excited again. March Madness, baby!
12:20
Wow. So much for that. UCLA by 12. This was a disappointing night by any standard. Hopefully we’ll see some better action tomorrow, and hopefully we won’t have to hear the “Davidson versus Goliath” pun more than six million times. If I sound cranky, it’s because I expect better. Peace.
