Most people, when writing about March Madness, will go ahead and give you their brackets, and their upset specials, and who didn’t get the right seed, who should have been in, and who should have been out.  I’m going to give you some completely different stuff that you don’t care about.

• Cry all you want about which bubble teams got in and which bubble teams are out – the highest seed to reach the final was a number 8… does it really matter?
• Hasheem Thabeet is drastically overrated by college hoops fans.  DeJuan Blair did a Vicki Sue Robinson on him earlier this year.  (GET IT??  HE TURNED THABEET AROUND??  I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!)
• If Tyler Hansbrough succeeds in the NBA, it’s going to be on guts and determination.  I don’t think it’s a good thing that I look at him and think, “Hey, he’s a more talented version of Eric Montross.”
• Speaking of North Carolina, they have zero chance of winning the championship without Ty Lawson.  Zero.
• This is the best Washington team since the ‘04-’05 team with Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy.  That team was guard loaded and didn’t rebound as well as this team.  Of course, since I root for the Huskies, they’ll probably be bounced out in Round 2.
• I’ve seen enough of Boston College to know that they’re streaky enough to win the whole tournament (yes, I just said that).  I’ve also seen enough of them to know that they’re almost a mortal lock to lose to a less talented team after falling apart for a ten minute stretch.
• I’m rooting for Akron to make a big splash in the tournament, only so some misguided sportswriter can complain about how the nickname “Zips” is racist
• Just because you picked that Cinderella team to reach the Sweet Sixteen doesn’t mean anyone wants to hear about it.
• Just because the team you picked to win it all got beat by Cinderlla doesn’t mean anyone wants to hear about it.
• I wish I had four TVs.
• What the hell is a Hilltopper?
