I am torched. That was some beautiful chaotic first round basketball on Thursday.
John Calipari…my friend, I wouldn’t want to be you tomorrow. I have no idea what happened to your basketball team from the point you thrashed Kansas in Lawrence in the Big 12-SEC Challenge. It appears your season and that of Bill Self’s Jayhawks inverted from that game in Lawrence.
I just hope if they fire Calipari the Kentucky boosters don’t make Porter some kind of crazy offer he couldn’t refuse. I’m thinking though…if Porter has a secret dream job like Mike Gundy had with the Cowboys before he leveraged his alma mater with Tennessee and Arkansas, I’m guessing Porter’s dream job would be to coach at Notre Dame or Indiana. Just my gut feel.
Kentucky gone. Iowa gone… as I knew they would be with them being a charter member of the fake tough guy Big 10.
Baylor, Kansas, and Tennessee all looked solid. Gonzaga was shaky, but they’re in the easiest region with Duke as the No. 2 seed.
UCLA, Arkansas, Villanova, and New Mexico State survived and advanced.
VA-Tech, Auburn, Purdue, Texas Tech, and Illinois are the games I don’t want to miss today.
But at the end of the first night, it was the St. Peter Peacocks who stole the show.
This video always calms me. Now…I’m rebooted for the next round of games.
