    Sunday, not-so-funday. I feel despair about having to watch baseball for the next 5 months. I feel even more despair at my feeling that the Final Four will be three B1Gs slogging around a Florida coronation.

    That said, I will hold out hope for my beloved Shadow Pack winning today and setting a collision course with the Gators. Here’s good mojo in music form, the first ever live TV appearance for Joy Division. RIP, Ian Curtis (even if he was a Man City fan):

    Time to start the appetizer for serving as the next round of Gator bait.

    Yup, dogs then cats today. I hope so, anyway.

    Great start for UConn. Kevin Ollie should get much more credit than he does.

    … you know the real key to winning a tournament game is not getting too far ahead or too far behind too early…

    The team that wins that part of the game between 16 minutes and 8 minutes in the second half… wins the highest percentage of the time…

    So the Dogs and Cats got as good a chance as anybody to win today…

    So should Allie. 😉

    I could do without CBS milking that poor kid with cancer every five minutes of every Sparty game. It’s creepy and intrusive.

    Agreed.

    My wife and I watched a muted CBS segment on UNC around 1:15 pm while at a sports bar. Interview segments with Charlie Scott, Phil ford, campus scenes and lots of footage of dean smith. Just curious why it was on. Anybody see it??

    I didn’t watch the pre-game. Sure it would have made me mad.

    The Basketsaurus Izzo has got his kids back into the game…

    Let’s see if UConn has a counterpunch…

    I’m sure it was some fluff about what a stellar human being Dean Smith is/was.

    Ooh…there’s Allie again.

    There it is again! Every commercial break.

    Is no one else hearing “Higher Love”? I can’t take it no more.

    I’ve got the sound off on the game, but let us not besmirch Steve Winwood.

    UConn got good looks inside, just couldn’t finish. Then late, it seemed like they started to panic. Hopefully the halftime break will do them some good.

    Why settle for chucking up 3s? Down 4, not 14.

    Shadow Pack, you are our last and best hope. Both to give FL a game and also to give us a break from B1Gball

    No, no, no, no… they’re ripping him off! Some dumb hipster nonsense. They mucked the words all up; totally ruined the original. That’s what’s grinding my gears.

    Five whistles first five minutes of the half… has shifted the focus and given the Dogs
    the upper paw…

    UConn will ride Napier as far as he will take them…

    Izzo looking for the appropriate response…

    More positive UConn juju – their cheerleaders no longer do that annoying as hell “you, you, you” chant when they get fouled.
