Ten things you don't want to know!

1. The definition of a homer: Dan Bonner (former Virginia player and current FSN and CBS basketball analyst) predicts up to nine (9) ACC teams getting into the NCAA tournament this year. Nine out of twelve teams. Sure thing Dan :-)
2. Seth Davis made a guest appearance on the Missouri Valley Conference preview show that aired on FCS and regional FSNs. Seth's support of the Valley before it became popular last year gives him more "street cred" with the mid-majors and makes Billy Packer and play-by-play non-expert-but-opinionated Jim Nantz look like BCS-homers.
3. Roy Williams reached 500 wins, faster than any other coach!. Watch out Coach K, the new king has arrived! You deserve a fridge full of Coca Cola bottles for that, Ole Roy :-)
4. I finally got around to watching the Versus documentary Soul of a Champion featuring the one and only Bob Knight. The documentary had more of a celebratatory and pro-Knight tone than one would expect from the media. Knight's indiscretions were only mentioned in passing. A member of his Anger Management Support Group appeared in the show to defend Bob Knight. And that person what none other than John Chaney.
5. Bob Knight ties and passes Adolph Rupp. Two wins away from tying Dean Smith and one more to call the winningest coach in men's NCAA basketball record his own.
6. Props to ESPN's Sean McDonough. He adamantly and matter-of-factly stated that Duke got all the calls in its last few games at Cameron Indoor. This comment somewhat surprised the other two members of the trio (Jay Bilas, former Dookie, and hall of famer Bill Raftery). This happened during the Alabama at Notre Dame game. Once again, props to Sean McDonough for keeping it real!
7. Memphis got blown out by Tennessee last week. On a totally unrelated note, Kareem Cooper has been reinstated and played the next game. Coincidence? :-)
8. I have created a new term to describe Ben Howland's style of play with the UCLA Bruins: Wrestlemania interrupted by fastbreaks
9. Quite possibly a record this season: The last media timeout was called with just 19.7 seconds left in the game. Even though the game was a blowout, the refs had to call it. I forgot which game it was :-)
10. The McDonalds selection committee needs to be redone. The selection of players is not based on basketball skills alone: Regional, socio-poltical and college-destination factors play a significant part in their decision. For example, if James Keefe hadn't committed to UCLA, there's no way he would be on the team. (Not to mention the other reason which I won't get into). There's no way James Keefe is one of the 24 best McDonalds-eligible players! No way this year!
