Daily Bubble Talk - Wednesday

The madness before the madness has already began! Action in conference tourneys is underway in the Horizon, Ohio Valley and the Big South. Details at http://ultimatecollegehoops.blogspot.com/ and many other places

You are on the bubble. You want in badly! You want to have a chance! You want to get that signature win that tilts the scales! You want to have an opportunity! Florida State has that tonight against Duke. They may have won the game @ Cameron Indoor if the zebras did not cite with Coach K. But that game is over. This is a brand new game. Florida State has been on the verge of a breakout - this is as good as any time to actually break out!

South Carolina had its chance. At home, against the wounded Tigers of LSU (Tyrus Thomas was injured and stayed in the Mardi Gras state). They tried but in the end, Big Baby was too big and wide for them. They may get a chance to defend their NIT title.

Speaking of South Carolina there are so many similar names it's confusing for people who don't watch them play regularly: Tisby and Trice, Kinsey and Kelly.

Comic relief - Rick Majerus on Barry Bonds in drag @ the Giants Idol: "... reminds me of the women I used to date".
