Session Two - Night Games


By Mark Buckets

The dust has cleared and the damage has been done. The two games at St.Pete Times Forum today were the two best of the tournament.

Drake and Western Kentucky was everything you could want in a college basketball game. It featured big play after big play - the game was decided in overtime and on a last second shot and ultimately, the requisite live theater NCAA Basketball fans demand.

In the second game of the day, San Diego overcame a late Connecticut surge (in regulation) and won 70 to 69. A.J. Price went down early in the game with a knee injury and the Huskies lacked a leadership presence they sorely needed.

Tonight should offer up another firecracker or two. Villanova over Clemson is the trendy pick - just watch ESPN - but I feel that the Tigers are playing too well at the moment.

Should be a fun night, and we'll have it all here for you to enjoy.

6:05PM- Time for tonight's upset special picks, this all courtesy of CBS: Seth Davis is going with St.Joe's and Siena, whereas Clark Kellogg continues to lack any courage in his picks, with action "returning to form" tonight. (I.e. I have an inkling there'll be an upset, but won't put myself out on a limb)

6:09PM- A sea of powder blue at the RBC Center - that's weird. Well, not really, considering they take it over when they play NC State.

6:12PM- Carolina runs out to a 7-0 lead. Hansbrough jumps the passing lane and dunks it to start the surge. The Mount looks shell-shocked early on.

6:15PM- Old footage of Mt.St.Mary's coach Milan Brown playing for Howard during his college days. Ironically, he was the player of the game as his team lost to, yes, you guessed it, Carolina.

6:18PM- The Mount has started to settle in and have cut it to a 17-12 score.

6:19PM- One thing that I will give Tyler Hansbrough - he is a master at drawing fouls that...aren't fouls. And I'm not in the minority in saying that.

6:22PM- I have a feeling the Oklahoma-St.Joe's game - I did pick OU - might provide another nail-biting moment or two.

6:30PM- Carolina is getting to all of the loose balls and, also, seems to be getting all of the calls. I'm not biased, or anything.

6:33PM- I hear a whistle, and the foul isn't against Mt.St.Mary's. Am I hallucinating?

6:34PM- One and One for the Heels already. 9:51 to go in the first half, Carolina up 10.

6:35PM- Siena off to a roaring start in Tampa. Exactly the type of start the Saints were hoping for.

6:40PM- The Mount can't be too disappointed with the scoreboard thus far. It's been an up and down game and they only trail by 12.

6:42PM- Longar Longar exhibiting his athletic ability. A beautiful finger roll and the Sooners maintain the slimest of leads.

6:48PM- Carolina starting to flex their muscles. This team, however you slice it, can score in bunches and demoralize the opposition in the process.

6:49PM- Jump ball won by Psycho T. Nothing new, except for the fact that he puffed his chest out after winning it from a 6 foot 2 point guard. Hmmmmm....

6:55PM- Mount St.Mary's with 40 points at the 2 minute mark in the first half. Ol' Roy can't be happy with that....

6:58PM- ...although he'll be happy with 60 points at the break. 60-41 Tar Heels.

7:00PM- For as much flack as Billy Packer receives - some of it is self-inflicted - he is as insightful as any color man in the business.

7:02PM- Luckiest man in college hoops tonight? Tim Brando, who is calling the games in St.Petersburg. The first two, as we documented, were instant classics. Tonight's Siena-Vandy game is on the fast track to classic status, as well.

7:07PM- Vanderbilt really needs A.J. Ogilvy to break out of his elongated slump. He's showing signs of that tonight, filling up the stat sheet as we near halftime in Tampa.

7:09PM- Siena hits a huge three as the half ends extending their lead to 46-34.

7:11PM- We haven't touched on the Oregon/Mississippi State game in Little Rock. Oregon is playing with a purpose, something they haven't done losing 6 of 9 before the Pac 10 tournament, where they lost in the quarterfinals.

Three Pt Field Goals: Oregon-7 MSU-0. Hence the Halftime score of 38-28, UO.

7:20PM- This game in Raleigh is resembling a bad NBA game. Up and down - not in a good way. Bad passes that resemble a soccer match crossed with a volleyball game. Shot selection has left much to be desired, too.

7:24PM- The fighting Joe Lunardi's (Joey Brackets picked SJU to win in this 6-11 game) are starting to fade into basketball oblivion tonight. After keeping it close for about 10 minutes of the first half, the Sooners have seized control and lead by 20.

7:27PM- Marcus Ginyard just blew a dunk. I mean, really blew it. He had a WIDE OPEN path to the rack and came up short on a basic dunk. Rejected by the rim! I'm laughing here in the Drive & Dish studios.

7:29PM- Time to pull the starters, Roy. You're up by 29. Call off the dogs.

7:31PM- I think Billy Packer just called a travel on Hansbrough. He really did!

7:35PM- Second half starting in Tampa. Can the Saints continue their torrid shooting in the second half? I'd lean towards "no."

7:41PM- Vandy getting out and playing the passing lanes. When they do that, they should handle this team.

7:43PM- Keegan Bell showing a little versatility for the Commodores. He might be the offensive spark that this team needs. Lead cut to 50 to 43.

7:45PM- Jamont Gordon having an absolutely brutal game so far. Five points on 2 of 10 shooting. If he heats up, the Ducks better look out.

7:47PM- Phil Martelli's Hawks have made a nice little comeback to trim the lead to nine. Oklahoma's inability to convert from the free throw line has aided this St.Joe's comeback.

7:48PM- Technical Foul, Kevin Stallings. His team down ten, with 12:28 to go in the game and he's t'ed up. Not a good call, coach.

7:50PM- A common theme throughout today has been the slickness of the playing surface. The NCAA logo at midcourt at all of the sites has been the main culprit to this problem. It's as though they're playing this game on one of Lifetime Fitness's worn and dilapidated courts.

7:54PM- Coach Stallings' is on the verge of being tossed. You just don't pull a Larry Eustachy when your team is down 10 in the second half.

7:55PM- Shots are starting to fall for St.Joe's, and with plenty of time left in the second half. Perhaps I will be eating "crow," at the end of this one.

7:56PM- There goes Tasheed Carr, who will foul out with 7 points for St.Joe's. The lack of depth will eventually catch up with St.Joe's, who are in a world of foul trouble.

7:58PM- Blake Griffin is a manchild in every sense of the word. He makes even the most innocuous play - a block after a foul is called - look magnificent.

8:00PM- Longar Longar displays some of that, in the same situation, blocking a shot into the second row. None of this matters, however, as the lead has been cut to five. 61 to 55, OU, 4:36 to play.

8:01PM- Superstars have carried the mail for some teams today. Stephen Curry had 40 earlier in the day, and Jack McClinton of Miami put up 38....without getting a double-figure effort from one of his teammates. Charles Rhodes of Mississippi State is continuing this trend, scoring 28...the only player on his team with double figures.

Both of those teams were victorious. However, Mississippi State only leads by one about halfway through the second half.

8:05PM- Blake Griffin has been a difference-maker down the stretch for Oklahoma tonight. With the Hawks threatening, Griffin has taken over with three consecutive scores putting his Sooners safely ahead by eight with 1:13 to go. Not over yet, however....

8:12PM- It's been surprisingly easy for the Siena Saints tonight. They haven't once trailed tonight, and are on course for one of the easier 13 over 4 wins in recent memory. (to say the least)

8:15PM- Oklahoma putting the finishing touches on St.Joe's. You have to commend the Hawks for not folding the tents early in the second half, as they easily could have. If ever a team was a "reflection of their head coach," St.Joe's would be exhibit A.

8:17PM- A good one brewing in Little Rock. Two evenly matched teams playing an evenly matched contest. Oregon was unconscious early, and can't seem to buy a basket now. 63 to 58, Bulldogs, with 4:31 remaining. 33 for Charles Rhodes.

8:20PM- Speaking of putting a bow on things: Siena is on the verge of renaming Tampa Bay as "Upset City." Final score Siena-83 Vanderbilt-62.

8:31PM- Time is starting to run out on Oregon and the career of Malik Hairston. From ballyhooed recruit to being labeled as a "college bust," to recovering and making the most out of his senior year, Hairston's career has been filled with trials and tribulations. He goes out with 22 points and a lot of respect from this blogger.

8:35PM- I would be remissed if I didn't mention Maarty Leunen and his importance to Oregon Ducks basketball the past four years. He's a true student-athlete, and is the poster boy for college basketball purists like myself.

8:41PM- Final Score: Miss State-76 Oregon-69. Could this be Ernie Kent's swan song as the head coach at Oregon?

8:43PM- Is there a college basketball player that's as out-of-shape as Indiana's DeAndre Thomas? He also is a bit of a scatterbrain too.

8:46PM- Eric Gordon trying to post up shot-blocking machine Steven Hill? I know Dan Dakich is a lame-duck coach, but come on....

8:46PM- Speaking of which, Dakich is T'ed up 4 minutes into the game. Another coach with good intent, just a poor way of carrying out that intent.

8:52PM- Louisville and Boise State are underway in the fourth and final game today in Birmingham. Somebody get the defibrillator ready for Verne Lundquist. He's the one doing the true "marathon" today.

8:55PM- Indiana trying to establish D.J. White early. They've passed on several open looks from the outside to feed it down low. I like the strategy. They've always got Eric Gordon in their back pocket to kick it back out.

9:01PM- Sometime I wonder how DeAndre Thomas ever got a D-1 scholarship...

9:05PM- D.J. White just picked up foul numero dos. Having to rely on the aforementioned Thomas for post defense - especially against a team with as much size as Arkansas - isn't a good proposition for the Hooisers.

9:09PM- Clemson got off to a flying start against Villanova and are up 12 to 7. It's still early, and Villanova is - as has been stated before - calming down and playing their style of basketball.

9:18PM- UT-Arlington out to a 6 to 3 lead early on in Little Rock. The Southland Conference champion Mavericks aren't going to win tonight - but will put up a much better fight than Mississippi Valley State did last night.

9:26PM- Billy Packer and Dick Vitale actually agree on something. In reference to Indiana University's announcement that they will construct a search committee for a replacement to Dan Dakich. They both think - right on the money too - that the timing of this announcement is "horrendous."

9:28PM- Halftime score: Arkansas-37 Indiana-30. Eric Gordon has been ice-cold and D.J. White was in foul trouble. All in all, the Hoosiers are lucky to be down only 7.

9:33PM- The style of Louisville resembles that of Boise State..but the talent doesn't, and that is reflected on the scoreboard: Louisville-44 Boise State-31 at the break.

9:33PM- If this were a real marathon, I'd be at about the 20 mile point. It's a good feeling to think about what you accomplished - 20 miles - but the last 6.2 are the most daunting.

9:42PM- With Villanova trailing 39 to 25 late in the first, the Cats have decided to mix it up a little bit with some pressure.

9:45PM- Nearing halftime in North Little Rock, Memphis has kept it's distance from UT-Arlington. Like I said before, the Mavericks will put up a better fight than MVSU.

10:12PM- Everytime Indiana seems to be making some headway, Arkansas sets the Hooisers back. 53-47 IU with 10 to go.

10:13PM- Where is Eric Gordon?

10:14PM-There's another three, this time from Arkansas' Sonny Weems. This would be a perfect time for Mr.Gordon to show up.

10:15PM- Clemson and Villanova locked in a fight. Clemson has cooled off and Scottie Reynolds is starting to fire up.

10:18PM- Arkansas has by far been the more aggressive team, and the free throw discrepancy illustrates that.

10:28PM- You never really get the feeling that Indiana is in this game. Down ten with 4:15, IU is showing little sense of urgency.

10:31PM- In Tampa, Clemson is getting all they can handle from Villanova, who has done a great job of neutralizing the Trevor Booker and James Mays. 48-47 Tigers with about 12 minutes to go.

10:33PM- D.J. White looks like he is cramping up. He's got three fouls, and with him on the bench, IU has been lifeless inside. The senior is fighting for his collegiate life.

10:34PM- This is a classic SEC vs. Big 10 matchup, basketball style. 1)Both teams have talented athletes, but Arkansas has more. Would DeAndre Thomas be on any SEC roster? I'm serious about that.

10:43PM- Louisville made mince meat of Boise State tonight. The Broncos had to be emotionally spent after winning a triple-overtime thriller to earn this NCAA Tournament birth.

10:44PM- Eric Gordon's brief career at Indiana will end tonight with a 8 points on 3 of 15 shooting. Yikes.

10:48AM- Final score: Arkansas knocks off Indiana, 86 to 72. Indiana's loss drops the Big 10's spotless first round record to 3 and 1.

10:54PM- I get the same vibes from the 5/12 game in Tampa as I did with the IU/ARK game. It's still a 63-55 game, but it seems as though Clemson has accepted defeat.

10:57PM- The NCAA Tournament is memorable in more ways than just on the court. Here's a prime example of that. UT-Arlington's Rog'er (pronounced Roge-ear)Guignard just hit a three. And if you're curious - it's hour 11 of the liveblog and I'm sure you are - he isn't French Canadian.

11:00PM- Approaching the 12th hour of coverage, I'm starting to melt down almost as fast as Clemson is against Villanova(That was a joke....I LOVE doing this)

11:01PM- An interesting sidebar to these final two games - one that is out of hand and another that seems like it is - Which one will get done first? 7 minutes to go in a blowout (UM-UTA) or 3:30 in a "nailbitter"(CU-VU)?

11:04PM- I guess I should have known picking Clemson to advance a few lines in my bracket was a mistake. The Tigers are shooting a 43% from the FT line - shouldn't surprise me - since D&D's very own Trashtalk Superstar harped on their mental toughness all year....

11:07PM- Important technical foul of the day - this time from Villanova's Jay Wright....

11:08PM- And of course, Clemson sends Terrance Oglesby to the line and makes 'em both...huge swing in this game

11:08PM- CU gets the ball and an open look from Oglesby, which rattles out...could have put the Tigers ahead by one.

11:10PM- Tim Brando and Mike Gminski are still very lucky men.

11:10PM- And a foul from Mays, his fourth....Booker already out....serious foul trouble for CU, now down by 4 with 2:25.

11:12PM- Clemson getting clutch free throw shooting from their two best - Oglesby and K.C. Rivers. TIED at 66!

11:13PM- Oh my, James Mays fouls out on a ticky tack call 17 feet from the basket. The Tigers are going to have to win it without their two best big men. Can Raymond Sykes save the day?

11:15PM- Not to be (as of now). Oglesby and Sykes go for a screen and roll and the ball tips off of the hands of Sykes...who bowls over a VU player trying to get the ball.

11:16PM- 1:14 to go, 70-66 Villanova, with the ball and the game squarely in their hands. It looks as though Jay Wright won't be the goat of Philly, after all.

11:18PM- The shots aren't falling now for Clemson, as another three goes in and out...Nova fans starting to celebrate...

11:21PM- Final score: Villanova-75 Clemson-69.

11:25PM- There goes one of my Round of Eight participants...it's been messy in Mark Bucket's version of Bracketville.



11:40PM FINAL BLOG ENTRY- It's been a long and enjoyable day. Today was a little more entertaining than yesterday, offering a few close ones. From the opening tap in Birmingham to the last free throw in Tampa, we had you covered here at Drive & Dish.

I hope today was as enjoyable for you as it was for me.

Look forward to doing it again tomorrow, starting with Duke and West Virginia at 1:10PM CDT.

Until then, enjoy the madness!

Butler Bob is a sinning heathen.

He plans to wait until his old lady goes into the little girls room to powder her fanny, to smooch Shelley Smith at the Final Four.

While Butler Bob has yet to commit this cowardly act of adulterous sin, simply by planning such a scheme out, he's already committed adultery in his heart.

Butler Bob, repent! Reject Satan's temptation! Pray for forgiveness!

Come down to our mega church tomorrow afternoon and give yourself to the Lord!

Become born again! Turn your back on the devil, not on the Lord!

Drop to your knees and beg for salvation!

REPENT! REPENT!

There was no good to come out of yesterday's loss to Arkansas.

I'm feelin' purty bad for Coach Dakich.

I haven't felt this bad since Coach Dean passed away in 1993.

Our boys are goin' through a rough little time raight now, but my husband - Billy of 50 years - and I will support them all the way!

I also am gonna miss that D.J. White. He poured his heart-n-soul into that game last night. Too bad we couldn't catch any breaks.

We'll miss you D.J.!

You'll always be in our pure Indiana hearts!

I hate all sports, and that includes basketball. Sports are stupid games played by stupid meathead jocks (like the guys who used to torment me and stuff me into lockers in middle school and high school). And the people who follow sports are sub-human verminous idiots.

But since I'm an IU student in my downtime from being a creature of the night (unfortunately, all my classes are during the day ... ugh!, I hate the daylight), I sometimes root for IU (even though I hate sports and hate basketball).

It was a tough loss for the Hoosiers. I felt a wave of agony take over me. This melancholy descended down my body just like the warm euphoria of heroin or morphine would: the agony started in my head, and quickly moved down every inch of my body, until it reached my black platform boot clad feet.

After the Hoosiers lost, I took a piece of shattered glass (which was leftover from a smashed bottle that I found on the street) and cut myself on my chest and my forearms.

I found this post IU loss wave of agony to be satisfyingly beautiful in all its sickening glory. And I found the sensation of blood gushing out of my freshly sliced skin to be exhilarating and erotic.

Oh how I revel in mourning this IU loss. IU basketball has fallen so far from grace and decayed so much that it's become almost like a rotting, decomposing corpse .... which makes me like the Hoosiers even more.

Bring on the losses. Bring on NCAA instituted probation! Bring the humiliation. Bring the degradation and suffering.

I'm loving this.

Go Hoosiers! I hope we keep on losing and I hope us Hoosier fans keep on suffering.

I'm in a festive, melancholy mood.

So I'm puttin' on some depressing, sorrowful musical stylings from my favorite goth bands. I've got classic bands like Siouxie and the Banshees, Bauhaus, Joy Division and Type O Negative.

And I've got songs of misery, angst and alienation from new bands like the Gathering and the Dead Dolls.

And, since it's getting dark outside, I'm shooting some heroin and drinking some absinthe in preparation for my descent into the darkness of the night.

IU lost and I'm miserable. So it's like a festive, party atmosphere here in my apartment, I mean crypt (although I'm here alone).

I'm miserable. It's party time!

Woo hoo!

Goth Greg (or Oleander Gotham, or whatever you call yourself),

You need to get into a church ASAP! Today is Easter. And you're out there shooting dope and worshiping demonic spirits.

You need to accept the Lord.

Become born again.

Come to the mega church.

Repent!

Repent!

Agnes from Rushville is Indiana white trash like Butler Bob.

Valparaiso only team from Indiana still play in tournament.

I say this all season: Valpo best team in Indiana.

Hear me now, believe me later. Valparaiso win tournament this year, beat all teams next year in state.

Have more players from Europe than other Indiana team.
