The Othe Battle of Carolina / Pitt vs. Binghamton

It's 10-2 in the first half and the Dukies look comfortable with the ball. We still have six hours left from 55 Wyckoff, so don't start making other plans just yet. 5 Hour Energy drinks were just downed. They don't taste bad, let's see if they can take us through to the finish.

Pitt is taking it to Binghamton hard in the other ESPN game. Binghamtown tried to build a program with big school transfers: they paid the price, drug deals and suspensions have left the roster depleted. You don't win with dudes named Greer Wright, that's for damn sure.

Oh my god, we had our first Hank Gathers reference after Big Dan and I popped five hour energy drinks.

Quick Observations:
1) Kyle Singler's hair is long. We know Jay Bilas loves the body, but what about the hair?

2) Mark Macon does not look like a happy man. He's inherited a troubled program and is going to take it nowhere. Sorry bud.

3) Coach K is starting to look old. Random observation--more wrinkles every year. He was one of those dudes that always looked the same--like Spurrier--but its caught up to him now. The years are evident on the face.

A name I like: Ashton Gibbs. Sounds like a legit name. I can hear Ian Eagle screaming "Ashton Gibbs, razzle dazzle" on a Friday afternoon in March. Good news for Pitt. Bad news for Binghamton tonight.

I want to see a good Duke team. I'm ready for it. I'm sick of seeing Coach K take an early exit every March. I want the Blue Devils to take this baby all the way to the title game. There it is, a college basketball confession. A fan is usually with Duke or against them, but Coach K is a class act, and I miss seeing the dude in the Final Four.

The Jersey Connection:

Duke is rocking four players from New Jersey. Ben Zoubek, the hulking giant, Lance Thomas, unerachiever, Jordan Davidson, and Casey Peters--the two unknowns.
