2009-march-madness Stories - Bucky's 5th Quarter
14 Years Ago Today ...
As Jim Nantz called it: There was a Wizard in the stand and some magic on the floor. Bruin magic to be precise courtesy of Tyus, George, Charles, Toby, J.R., Cameron and some towel wavers on the bench. But really it all started and ended with King Ed: UCLA's Ed O'Bannon - 1995...
And Now, a Word from the Irish
Notre Dame has the solitary honor of being beaten down by three Final Four teams this season. The worst was to UNC in the Maui Invitational, but they also dropped two games to Connecticut and one to Villanova. The New York Times thought it natural to turn to the Fighting Irish for some scouting...
Monday Musings - The "Morning After" Edition
I will be honest in I was thinking about maybe skipping an edition of the Musings, but then I got to thinking about how I missed last week sunning (and eventually burning) myself in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and an attack on my conscious has led me to typing. So, with it being Spring Break, it was...

How to Save College Basketball?
I've taken a look at this article before. It's written by a football writer, Pete Fiutak, and it discusses how to "save" college basketball. The problem, according to Fiutak, is that ratings have gone down for the Tournament and few people pay any attention at all to the regular season. I think...
Love That Madness...
Opening weekend of the NCAA Tourney is arguably the greatest sports spectacle in the history of mankind. Four days straight of brackets, upsets, buzzer beaters and the dream that every year you know something everyone else doesn’t. You wink at coworkers in the office pool. Talk some noise...
Hughes' circus shot gives UW upset over 'Noles
via a.espncdn.com It had been a season of missed opportunities and blown leads. In seven of Wisconsin's 12 losses the Badgers had held a lead with less than three minutes to go. Other than Trevon Hughes' game winner at Virginia Tech and Jordan Taylor's three to force overtime at Iowa (UW would...
Announcing the Rock M Nation Bracket Contest
BUMPED BACK TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE ONE LAST TIME Time for us to (promise to) give away another Rock M Nation T-shirt to the lucky winner! However, you must be on crack to think I am going to do this off-line, so we are employing the help of the Worldwide Leader and using their free bracket...
Bracketology: The New Alchemy, or Where Your Team is Headed
In lieu of Sprints, since there really is no other SEC news today ... Suprising no one -- least of all SEC Commish and head of the seleciton committee Mike Slive -- only three conference teams ended up in the Big Dance: regular season champ LSU, tourney champ Mississippi State and regular season...

(Leo) Lyons and Tigers and Bears, oh my! Yesterday's paltry turnout (and that's putting it nicely - it was like a hermit talking to himself) seems to indicate that the BOTC community doesn't really care about the tournament now that the Cats are out, but just in case anyone wants to pop in and...
