Is Jay Bilas taking over the Dick Vitale announcing spots until Vitale returns or is ESPN going to do it by committee? Bilas just did the Pitt vs Duke game and he is going to do the Georgetown at Memphis game, along side Dan Shuman and the underrated Doris Burke.

NCAA Selection committee chairman Tom O'Connor appeared for an extended in-game interview on CBS during the Wooden Tradition game on CBS Sports, between Louisville and Purdue. While "please retire" Lundquist was handing him assists, Billy "Fudge" Packer was trying to get something out of him, but just like a politician on the campaign trail, Tom O'Connor, the George Mason athletic director, managed to avoid answering any questions of substance. Packer did manage to get him to mention Gardner Webb though. But that was a "master of the obvious" type of a revelation.

Did you notice that Pitino's rosters in Louisville look impressive in the spring, but when the season starts the roster is nowhere near as long as the preseason? Some of that had to do with early entries to the NBA draft way back when high school seniors were allowed to crash David Stern's millionaire's party, but it's not just the NBA, it's also a wave of injuries. It seems like PitinoVille is one of those schools that keep having injured players year in and year out. Is it bad luck, or does it have to do with the conditioning programs or the facilities or the trainers? UCLA is another team that always seems to look like a MASH unit.
