Big news, and Picks of the day

Dominic James is cleared to play for the Marquette game--I' d like to see how the line for that game changed after the news. I'm skeptical how much he'll play, but it's still a huge lift for the Golden Eagles--they're a different team with him on the floor. Either way, it's nice to see the senior get a chance to play in his final tourney.

Picks for the day
Most of the top seeds will survive today, but I'm picking Marquette over Mizzou b/c it makes a great story. In the game of the day, Cleveland State becomes the tourney Cinderella by booking a trip to the Sweet 16. And they're down 9 with 16 to go, but I'm calling Arizona State in a big comeback, with Harden dropping the game-winner in # 23's grill. Why? Because I hate Eric Deebledouche.

  2. Also, the fire won their opener last night and i know this is hardly the time to be talking about soccer but check out the highlights, one really nice goal from blanco at the end and one amazing goal from Kenny Cooper.

  3. I had a few Victory Hop Devils last night, so I'm craving a glass of fountain Coca-Cola Classic with ice. Bonus points if the ice is in Pizza Hut-style pellet form.
