Jet Lagged

There was a Sports Illustrated article at least a decade ago profiling one successful NCAA pool winner who liked picking against teams that had to cross multiple time zones to play their games. It was all anecdotal evidence, but Boston College is trying it's damdest to back that theory up. They've been hustling throughout Pacific's comeback run, but they've been throwing up poor shots and falling asleep on defense the entire way. BC's free throw shooting is only surpassed in futility in the ACC by Clemson and Virginia Tech (in conference) if you need another reason to worry about falling out of your pool.

Between Witchita State and UW-Milwaukee, I've already kissed my money goodbye. Which I spent on lunch. Because profiting off of college athletics is morally wrong unless you are a large corporation buying airtime on CBS.

It took a timeout to develop the Craig-Smith-loses-control-and-falls-down play?

Am I the only finding CBS's cuts away from the exciting Pacific-BC matchup to the empty San Diego arena a hilarious distillation of everything that ever went wrong with televised tournament coverage?
