ncaa tournament

Congrats - John Calipari and Kentucky are in the Final Four for the first time since the late 90's. But I'm not impressed. Sorry - it's like a kid cheating on an exam and then wanting credit for being smart. He's a cheater.  Period.

VCU makes an improbable run to the Final Four. The Rams should've made a run to the NIT.

The 2011 NCAA Men's Basketball tournament Final Four is now all set! Only one person in America predicted all final four teams correctly with Kentucky, UConn, Butler, and the big surprise, VCU making it to Houston, TX. Why did only one person get all the Final Four teams right? Well that's because this group of teams has rewritten the history books of the NCAA tournament.

RPI's season came to an end on Saturday as they fell to North Dakota in the NCAA Hockey Tournament Midwest Region in Green Bay, WI. It was the first time RPI had made the "Big Dance" since 1995.

Union College's first ever trip to the NCAA Tournament didn't last long. The 2nd seeded Dutchmen lost to #3 seed Minnesota-Duluth, 2-0, in the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey East Regional Semifinals in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Jimmer got Jimmered.  In the end, Jimmer Fredette just ran out of steam as the Sweet 16 wasn't so sweet for BYU. Florida defeated BYU in the Southeast Regional Semifinal, 83-74 in overtime - putting an end to the college career of the Glens Falls native.

The NCAA Tournament is great theatre. Don't confuse that with great basketball. Everyone is glued to the games right now but is that really good basketball? Brian Noe gives it to us in the Noe Brainer.

I'm sorry to say it but the Big East Conference's performance in the NCAA Tournament tells me one thing - the Big East is a good league with no elite teams. So is it a "great" league?  Well, that's up for debate.

Just when you think that Glens Falls native and BYU star Jimmer Fredette was going to slow down in the NCAA Tournament, he dishes out yet another incredible performance.

We all love video games and most of us love ring tones - that we can agree on. The other thing we can agree on is if you are going to appear on television (or radio) you should put your phone on vibrate. This rule is especially important if you are an analyst for ESPN - and your ring tone is Super Mario Bros.

The NCAA Tournament Edition of the "Jimmer Show" premiered in Denver on Thursday night and opening night was quite entertaining. Fredette scored 32 points to lead 3rd seeded BYU to a 74-66 win over #14 Wofford in the Southeast Region.

There have been a few upsets thus far in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.  In the early going, there is one upset that stands above the rest.
