  • Ethan: Think Roy Williams has stopped crying yet?

    "I miss my Ty's... And my ties. And Mai Tais."
    Amir: He's just drunk in a bubble bath right now, rewinding "one shining moment" with a remote control and sobbing.

    Ethan: As someone who picked Michigan State to lose in the second round, I found Monday night's title game very validating. "See? They were never all that good!" What the heck happened there?

    Amir: What happened was a team of future NBA players playing better than a team of people who look pretty good in forest green. The game raised many questions though, mainly "How in the world did they beat UConn?"

    Ethan: There's something magical about Tom Izzo, I guess. Which makes sense given that when you see him talking to a player, it looks like a garden gnome having a conversation with an adult.

    Amir: I just feel bad for freshman Ed Davis. He's gonna come back to school next year without any friends. "...where is everybody?" "They're all millionaires now, Ed. Now go to class."

    Ethan: What, you're thinking a bench player from a Carolina team that wins the title can't be a millionaire next year? The Hawks are probably trying to trade up to draft him.

    Amir: Leave Marvin Williams alone. He's about to blossom into an All-Star any season now.



  • Ethan: Wow, that was some crazy tournament action after a boring first two rounds. How do you like this Final Four?

    Angel McCoughtry has the Lady Cards looking forward. POWER Forward.
    Amir: Boring first two rounds?! Did you see that Arkansas/Oklahoma State OT thriller? The Women's NIT has never been more exciting.

    Ethan: Did I see it? Don't be ridiculous! I was in the arena watching it live. How about some of those grudge matches, too? Portland-Portland State?! There's no love lost there!

    Amir: That's what separates the WNIT from the actual tournament -- real teams, real matchups. What's so fun watching an undefeated UConn team destroy their competition? Really quick about that battle of the Portland's game: Claire Faucher was a beast in the paint. I mean... wow.

    Ethan: And this Final Four is just amazing. I mean, look at the names: Illinois State's there for crying out loud. No way Kristi Cirone doesn't make her presence felt under the bright lights. Plus, South Florida's Lady Bulls are there. I know some people say that Lady Bulls are actually just cows, but they'll change their tunes once they see Jessica Lawson ball.

    Amir: There is no chalk in this tournament, only cindarellas. And guess what? The slipper still fits.

    Ethan: So things get serious tonight. It's win or go home. Who ya got: Kansas @ Illinois State and South Florida @ Boston College?

    Amir: It's tough to go against BC just because they're so physical and so long... but South Florida, (their opening round OT thriller not withstanding) has shown me something, so I'm going to go against vegas and pick USF in an upset. The other game is too close to call at this point.

    Ethan: Too close to call? The Lady Jayhawks are playing at home, man, and they've got Danielle McCray. You know she was an All-America regional honoree, right? I mean, are you kidding me? Too close to call? I'm starting to wonder if you even watch the women's NIT.
