Saturday afternoon, March 19
- Why are we getting two national games, back-to-back, with multiples tonight on different networks? What happened to the games and choices throughout the day approach? I guess TBS feels it's important to show syndicated re-runs of Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens.
- Kentucky's win affirms the belief that teams which go deep into the tournament feature one or two players who will grace an NBA roster in the future.
- Of the major conferences, the ACC is 4-1 thus far in the tournament; the Pac 10, 3-1; Big Ten, 5-2; Big East, 7-4; Big 12, 3-2; and SEC, 2-3. The Colonial Athletic is 3-1.
- Draymond Green of Michigan State recorded a rare triple-double on Thursday night in the Spartans' loss to UCLA. Green had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He joins Gary Grant, Michigan; Shaquille O'Neal, LSU; David Cain, St. John's; Andre Miller, Utah; Dwayne Wade, Marquette; and Cole Aldrich, Kansas, as guys who have recorded tournament triple-double since 1984, when assists began being tracked nationally. Prior to that, the NCAA recognizes several unofficial triple-doubles--a list which includes Kansas' B.H. Born, Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson, and Michigan State's Earvin "Magic" Johnson.
- Josh Smith of UCLA is a rather large young man.
- Josh Harrellson of Kentucky does not get enough national recognition. Harrellson was a beast today against West Virginia.
