i want my time back!


the title of my post today is the best way i can describe how this past men's ncaa (no one watches the women, especially if its notre dame and tx a&m) basketball tournament went. i'm not saying that cause none of the teams i picked made it to the big dance, but because almost every game i watched was either a blowout or a close game but played really poorly. there was some great moments as there always is, but overall it was really one bad team advancing over a decent to mediocre team. my final four picks where ohio state vs. duke and kansas vs. ucla with ohio state and kansas playing for the championship and kansas taking it all. to my credit i think any combination of those teams tonight would have been better than what i witnessed tonight with butler vs. uconn. come to think of it i would have rather watched a youth center game with 10 years old trying to learn the sport than the game tonight. if i was brad stevens i would have my team (and possibly even staff) put on a suicide watch for at least tonight possibly longer, and tomorrow morning i would have the team go back to a youth center and relearn how to make a bucket,block out for rebounds, and make free throws. start them off with the basics (appears to be much needed after what i witnessed) and then have them do lay up drills. the only highlight for me tonight when i was watching the game (and not doing chores to keep myself awake) was listening to the announcers and commentators try to say and do anything to keep people wanting to keep watching the game cause of how bad it was. i know now that thanks to tonight's championship game that in a little less than a year when march madness kicks off again there is going to be some majors changes to ncaa basketball to make sure a game like tonight's doesn't happen again. good night and good luck to those guards posted outside the butler mens team hotel rooms.
