About Last Night...
• College Basketball: Bradley 77, Kansas 73. Next year, when Kansas wins the Big 12 and locks up a 1-seed, they may want to decline it and opt for the NIT, just to save themselves the embarrassment. (Of course, if you read The FYC, you already knew it was going to happen.)
• 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...
