NCAA

I guess they lost to Dayton, but I've been annoyed all week at hearing sports talk geniuses scoffing at UNC in the NIT, and wondering if they're so embarrassed at going to finals and would have preferred to quietly go out in the first round. Which is absurd - if they're so embarrassed at theoretically being the 66th best team in the country, I don't know why they'd be okay with being the 100th.

Plus, even though it was a crappy year for Carolina, it doesn't automatically mean they couldn't beat anyone in the NCAA field. I'm sure you could scan that list of teams and quickly pick out more than a handful that would shit heir baggy shorts if Carolina walked into the gym. Camon.

And it looks like the NCAA is gonna expand it's number of teams in the tournament to 96. Which to me is a waste of fucking time. To me they should either go back to making it open only to league champions, or just let every fucking team in. Any of this middle of the road to even MORE middle of the road nonsense is just a waste of time. Let every team in!  More games means more $$$$, which I know they like. And the door would be open (though not likely) for a REAL Milan-esque upset. That's what helped make Indiana high school basketball so intriguing to everybody for so long, that all the teams were thrown into the same tournament. They stopped this for some reason in 1997, aka the last year anyone outside of Indiana gave a shit about the Indiana state tournament.
