Tonight's Tournament Action

The NCAA tournament resumes with four games tonight:
At 7:10 in Atlanta (probably the national game) Duke plays LSU:
Of course we know the evil Duke will win this game because if they get behind the referees will randomly start to make bad calls. Somehow this always happens. LSU has two chances to win the game. First, Big Baby gets Shelden Williams in foul trouble. But that won't happen because refs look the other way like when Jay Williams raped Steve Blake during the 2001 national semi. Second, JJ Redick has a bad night. This is a real fear for Duke because he hadn't been shooting well, then he missed a bunch of free throws. Also no one on Duke's supporting cast has stepped up to become a scorer. Duke 76, LSU 71

At 7:27 in Oakland (4:27 local time) Memphis plays Bradley:
Despite the support of dearly departed one-year alum Kirby Puckett, Bradley's tournament run is over. Patrick O'Bryant (not Irish) has enjoyed the ride and has moved way up draft boards. He looks like a mobile big man who can score, defend and run. Memphis has too much size and athleticism to fall victim to the plucky 13 seed. Memphis 68, Bradley 55

After that game in Oakland (probably the national game) UCLA plays Gonzaga:
UCLA has been playing great but there comes a time when great guard play runs into great big man play. I know Pizza Parlor Derek and love Luc Richard Mbah A Moute, but I don't think he can keep up with Morrison. Although Morrison is really starting to piss me off with his antics I think he may be ready to carry this team to the final four. If he has two good games he can do it. Gonzaga 81, UCLA 78

The last game (after Duke-LSU in Atlanta) is Texas against West Virginia:
It all depends on WVU's shooting. If they are hot from the outside they can build a big lead and Texas won't be able to catch up. But as much as I love Pittsnogle, I think LaMarcus Aldridge and PJ Tucker will be too much for him inside. The Mountaineers really have no inside game. Texas 63, West Virginia 54.
