Go Crusaders!

Ladies and gentlemen, last nights basketball game between Kansas State and Xavier was about as good as it gets. Neither team wanted to lose, Xavier hit some crucial shots, and Kansas State kept on fighting even with two of their best players fouled out. Double overtime games don't happen too often in the Sweet 16, first time in like 14 years or something. Crawford took over, I personally think he'd be smart to leave for the NBA draft. His stock isn't going to get any higher after this tournament, I'm sure all of the Xavier fans hope I'm wrong. For the first time in my life I'll give props to Xavier, they showed a lot of fight, especially from a mid major.

People questioned Kansas State's coach Frank Martin for fouling at the end regulation when they were up by three. Look, it was a horrible non call, the foul happened about two seconds earlier and they didn't call it. But since they called the foul when the guy was shooting the three, everyone thought it was a horrible strategy. Personally I believe it was a great strategy, just poor officiating. By the way, Frank Martin is a great coach, with many expressions that are absolutely hilarious to watch.

This tournament is all wrapped up for Kentucky. I said in the beginning of the season that Kentucky was going to win it all, I just wasn't entirely sure if they'd be able to knock of Kansas. Since Kansas is out, for sure think Kentucky will win it all. With that being said, the elite 8 matchup of Kentucky-West Virginia should be a thriller. Probably the two most athletic teams in the tournament going head to head. Two great, hall of fame coaches in John Callipari and Bob Huggins.

Went bowling last night, first time since Thanksgiving break. A little rusty, but I somehow managed to average a 196 over the three games we played. I can't wait for summer where bowling happens more frequently..thanks to the Madison special: All you can bowl for three hours, 9 bucks.

Heading up to the final 4 today, Moeller's basketball team is making another appearance. #9 Moeller takes on #5 Mentor. For the third consecutive game Moeller comes in as the underdog. This Moeller team has surprised a lot of people, including myself. Hopefully they can keep this run going and bring home state. GO CRUSADERS!

Kansas State's Frank Martin..



That is the Truth.
