• College Basketball: Georgetown 53, Florida 57. Joakim Noah: 15 points, 10 boards, 5 blocks. Unsightly man, but a very attractive stat line.

• College Basketball: George Mason 63, Wichita State 55. I don't know how we got to this point, but it seems entirely possible that Mason could win a home game against UConn, who has still yet to beat anyone convincingly.

• College Basketball: Connecticut 98, Washington 92 (OT). It might just be me, but I'm getting a little tired of 1- and 2-seeds hitting buzzer beaters. Those should be reserved for underdogs. 1- and 2-seeds shouldn't even be allowed to try them until they get to the Final Four.

• NBA: Pistons 103, Knicks 105. I'd have put money on Albany to beat UConn before I would have guessed that the Knicks would beat the Pistons.

• College Basketball: Pennsylvania 52, Texas 60. Sad to see the Quakers exit so early, but rest assured that they remain a very close-knit society of friends.

And, as always, MJD is overjoyed to be here with you on the weekends. If there's anything I can do for you, if you've got a tip for me, or if you want to correct one of the 20 or so egregious errors I'm likely to make, feel free to pass along a note...

• College Basketball: Utah State 63, Nevada 70. Nick Fazekas got Frizeaky (sorry) on Utah State, with 23 and 14. Utah State was not helped by having a 29-year-old guy on the roster.

• College Basketball: Long Beach State 70, Pacific 78. If you had it in you to watch that one last championship game at midnight, I salute you. Pacific will dance for the third straight year.

• Pitt 68, Villanova 54. Pitt joins Syracuse in the finals, and Carl Krauser decides he's going to start poking opposing guards in the eye during every game.

• Cleveland 73, Orlando 102. I got excited when I saw that Darko had 10 at the half. I became less excited when I saw that he finished with 11. But still... baby steps. Baby-stepping towards the basket... baby-stepping towards a double-double...

• NHL: Senators 4, Maple Leafs 2. Eric Lindros hurts himself. In other news, ice is cold.

• Boxing: Joe Calzaghe wins unanimous decision over Jeff Lacy. Goofy Welsh white guy completely beats the hell out of dieseled American black guy. I'm a little confused this morning.

• College Basketball: San Diego 59, #5 Gonzaga 75. I really wish some other WCC team would get good, because talking about these late night Gonzaga blowouts gets kinda old.

• NBA: Knicks 89, Wizards 110. Gilbert Arenas had 46. So did the Knicks starting five.

• Fishing: Bassmaster Classic. Luke Clausen caught 5 fish that weighed a total of 29 pounds, 6 ounces, helped by his a junebug-colored hard-nose bait. Whatever happened to just plain old worms?

• NBA: Nets 94, Knicks 90. Assists: Jason Kidd 9, New York Knicks 12. Steve Francis had a quiet 16, while Nenad Krstic inexplicably went 11-for-11 from the floor.

• College Basketball: Gonzaga 79, Loyola Marymout 70. Gonzaga has already wrapped up at least a share of the WCC regular season title. For this, they deserve a polite golf clap and an Oreo cookie with the creamy filling already scraped out of the center.

• College Basketball: Pitt 82, Marquette 84. Banner day for Marquette, between the basketball team collecting their 2nd victory over a Top 25 team in three days, and Dwyane Wade winning the Playstation Skills Challenge.

• College Basketball: Gonzaga 80, Stanford 76. Adam Morrison goes for 34, 12 of them coming in the last three minutes of the game. Stanford, at 12-9, is in some serious trouble.

• NHL: Columbus 2, Nashville 5. Marek Zidlicky had two power play goals for the Predators. Zidlicky, Zidlicky, Zidlicky.

• College Basketball: Mayville State 67, North Dakota State, 93. Archie Witherspoon IV, quickly making us all forget Archie Witherspoon III, led the Mayville State Comets with 12. North Dakota State ensures their fourth straight winning season.

• Torino: Opening Ceremonies. They were beautiful, moving, inspirational, and just a little bit weird. If you missed it, Every Two Years live-blogged it in staggering detail.

• NBA: Detroit 85, Indiana 93. Pacers forward Stephen Jackson heroically shakes off injury and scores 20 points to help the struggling Pacers topple the mighty Pistons. I'm a little confused.

• Women's College Basketball: Oregon State 54, #15 Stanford 87. Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer chalks up her 650th career win, which is pretty good. For a girl.

• Arena Football: New York Dragons 51, Chicago Rush 47. In the last 2:28, there was a fumble, a kickoff that hit the scoreboard, and three touchdowns, the last of which was called back, giving New York the win.

• NBA: Kings 79, Jazz 89. "We got brain-locked in the fourth," said Ron Artest. When Ron-Ron is diagnosing your brain-lock, you have problems.

• College Basketball: Oklahoma 82, Texas 72. I don't know how it is that no Oklahoma fans have dropped by to call me an idiot for what I said in yesterday's "To Watch Tonight."

• Luge: Sylke Otto triumphs over Silke Kraushaar. Silky Johnson was unavailable for comment.

• Tennis: Australian Open. Amelie Mauresmo is your champion. In the third round against Mauresmo, Michaella Krajicek retired with heat stress. In the smifinals, Kim Clijsters retired against her with an ankle injury. And in the finals, Justine Henine-Hardenne retires with gastrointestinal issues. Congratulations, Amelie. Your witch doctor deserves a raise.

• NBA: Boston 84, Sacramento 74. Ron Artest's stat line: 31 minutes, 15 points, 6 rebounds, 4 steals, 0 innocent people harmed or threatened. I think new Celtic Wally Szczerbiak may have killed someone, though.

• Australian Open: Marcos Baghdatis over Andy Roddick, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4. It's just as well, I suppose... let some other schmuck lose to Roger Federer. Go hang out with Maria.

• NBA: Cavs 108, Jazz, 90. Quite a night for the James family. LeBron scored 51 in the win, despite playing with a sore right knee and a cold... and I think his mother may have gotten into his NyQuil.

• Golf: Michelle Wie bounces back from her opening round 79 to post a 68 at Waialae, which was good enough for her to finish one stroke better than the people who missed the cut by five strokes. I think congratulations are in order.

• Figure Skating: Rena Inoue and John Baldwin qualify for the Torino games by winning the U.S. Figure Skating Championships with a triple throw axel, which is something I've only been able to pull off once or twice this past week.

· NBA: OK folks, show's over, nothing more to see here, move along. Kobe outduels LeBron as Lakers beat Cavs.

· NHL: Rangers hoist Messier's jersey to the rafters, then do same with Oilers.

· College Basketball: Beavers fell No. 25 Arizona.

• College Football: The Jayhawks take home the coveted Fort Worth Bowl trophy, beating Houston by a score of 42-13. It's probably the greatest accomplishment in Jayhawk athletic history, if you're only counting things that happened in the last week or so.
• College Basketball: Morehead (which is what I want for Christmas, incidentally) State takes a savage beating at the hands of UConn, 129-61. UConn guard Rashad Anderson had 33, and six other guys finished in double figures for the Huskies. Damn.
• NBA. Vince Carter goes for 51 as the Nets beat the Heat. "We're just trying to earn respect," said Vince. Hmm. Nope. Didn't work.

By the way, if you've got any tips for me today, feel free to pass them along to me at mjd@deadspin.com. Gracias.

• College basketball: Iowa 60, Iowa State 72. First the Hawkeyes lose to Northern Iowa, and now to Iowa State. You might want to strike while the iron's hot and get the Hawkeyes on the schedule, Emmaus Bible College Eagles.
• NBA: Lakers 93, Bulls 80, on the night they retired Scottie Pippen's #33. Perhaps not coincidental to the Lakers win: Kobe had 8 assists and every Laker starter finished in double figures.
• College football: Northern Iowa 40, Texas State 37. Wasn't Texas State the team in Necessary Roughness? But in the movie, they were the Fightin' Armadillos. In reality, they're the Bobcats. They also lost... which I guess is what happens when you try to win without Scott Bakula.
