To Watch Tonight
What to watch as you choose a nice Zinfandel to go with that roast squirrel ... • NCAA Women's Tournament: Regional finals: Utah vs. Maryland, at Albuquerque; LSU vs. Stanford, at San Antonio.

Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?
Wasn't that Bill Walton in the stands grinning during the final moments of UCLA's win over Memphis on Saturday? What was he smiling about? Was it the Bruins' 35 percent shooting from the field? Was it their 51 percent shooting from the free throw line? Ironically, it was in the 1973 NCAA champions...

NBA with Marc Stein: Drawbacks to those new ESPN phones — your head doesn't fit on the screen and your annoying high-pitched voice scares my dog. • 4 p.m. Baseball with Gary Gillette: Your 2006 Baseball Encyclopedia makes a great...
George Mason's Win, From The Nosebleeds
From the guy who brought you that gruesome video of Iowa fans reacting to Northwestern State's victory over them in the first round comes an even better video: Footage from the George Mason student section as the final seconds ticked off the clock yesterday....
NCAA Roundup:All GMU, All The Time
• As exciting as the LSU-Texas and George Mason-Connecticut games were, the Florida-Villanova and UCLA-Memphis games were dogs. Particularly that last one; it had been a long time since we'd seen a team back into the Final Four. Not supposed to work that way. • One of the more underpublicized fact...
George Mason Makes The World A Better Place
Obviously, we'll be talking about this all week, but we'd just like to start off by saying a world in which George Mason can beat Michigan State, North Carolina and Connecticut in the span of a week is a world we feel newly invigorated about living in....

Order Some Oversized Shorts For George Mason
They're going to need them in Indianapolis, because these guys have huge balls. They just beat UConn in overtime, 86-84. The amount of poise they showed down the stretch was amazing. Their post players in particular made plays down the stretch that were calm, poised, and smooth....
George Mason Continuing To Fight The Good Fight
If you're not watching it, I think you probably should be. George Mason has battled back to take the lead again over UConn with about 11:00 to play, forcing the Huskies to take a timeout. They've got heart, these Patriots. Even with all the ridiculous games the tournament has had so far, this one,...
Mason Doesn't Know It's A Show, They Think It's A Damn Fight
Actually, UConn leads by 9, which doesn't make it sound like it's that close of a game. But it was just a couple of minutes ago that Mason did briefly hold the lead, before UConn started burying three-balls like Larry Bird on All-Star Saturday Night. After that, the Huskies responded to close the ...
UCLA To Meet The Tapeworms
This one was the college basketball equivalent of a 6-3 Browns/Bengals game in a freezing rain. For a while there, it didn't look like either team would get to 50 points. Much like Ben Howland, this game was not pretty....
UCLA Refusing To Be Whooped
The Bruins have taken a 28-21 lead with them into halftime after sweating Memphis into their worst shooting performance of the year. They're 0-for-10 from behind the line, and 10-of-37 overall. Most tricks are not impressed by 21-point halves....

Memphis Looks To Whoop That Trick
This kinda makes me wish I was a Memphis fan. The good people at The Realests noticed the Memphis dance team doing the "Whoop that Trick" dance from the movie Hustle and Flow, which takes place in Memphis. And then they dug up this video of Memphis fans taunting some UAB fans with the same song an...
The Top Hoops Programs Of All Time
Here's a little something to argue about before we get started with the actual basketball today. TenMojo.com has attempted to rank the Top 10 college basketball programs of all time. And it's not some half-ass list based on foggy notions, which is how I'd prefer to do it. They actually have reason...
Poor UConn Just Can't Catch A Break
UConn head coach Jim Calhoun certainly was at his whiny best last night, which is odd, considering that Washington was hit with 33 fouls, while UConn had just 20. I'd go so far as to say that he was behaving like Jim Boeheim... if Jim Boeheim was a 10-year-old Girl Scout who couldn't sell any of h...
