Back and Forth with Basketblog

Today's ACC Basketblog's Daily Roundup points to a News & Observer article on the poor attendance at the UNC-Coppin State game. There are strange, little old lady complaints about parking troubles (on a Saturday?) and a lack of advertising, and various people expressing befuddlement at the situation. Stepping in to the breach, Tar Heel March a full 3,000 miles away, will now give a full presentation on the many factors that led to a declining attendance:

  1. It was Spring Break.
  2. There was another Carolina team playing a game in Syracuse at the same time.


This concludes my presentation. Please forward any consulting fees you may be willing to provide to Tar Heel March, Inc. And start publishing the attendance figures in your box scores, so I can point to tonight's GW game and continue to feel superior.

Basketblog also points to a Herald-Sun article that points out two of the three times UNC and Villanova have met in the tournament, the winner has gone on to take the home the title. Know Friday's annoyingly overmentioned commentator trivia today, thanks to Basketblog.

(For my own, imatation round-up type links, I'll throw out King Kaufman's explanation as to why we're not costing the country $889.6 million, and a nice little piece on the other McCants that thankfully doesn't mention events between the coach and Illinois fifteen years prior.)
