We Have To Ask ...
Suggested questions for today's ESPN SportsNation chatters ... • 3 p.m. Bracketology with Joe Lunardi: The one day we actually need you — Sunday — and you're nowhere in sight? • 4 p.m. NHL with Scott Burnside: Any way to combine your sport with curling? Because that would be cool. • 9 p.m. NCAAW Tou...

Bracket Breakdown: East Region
Later today, we'll begin rolling out our Tidbit previews of each team/first-round matchup, but to kick us off, we're gonna look at each region. Here's the East region. We're so glad they're calling it "East" again, instead of the decidedly unromantic "East Rutherford."...
A Lament For The Orange ... And Then We're Done With It
Now that the brackets are officially out, it's inevitable that everyone's talking about the snubs. (Ironically, one of the major "snubs" last year was supposedly Hofstra, who was overlooked in favor of George Mason.) The biggest snub of all is Syracuse, of course, which remains befuddled by its abse...
NBA Roundup: Forget About It Jake, It's Inglewood
Notes on Sunday's games in the National Basketball Association ......
About Last Night ...
What you missed while attending the All-Star Game ... • NBA: All that's left of Nicholson is a set of chattering false teeth on the pavement ... Mavericks stomp Lakers for 17th straight win. • Tennis: Don't make a Federer case out of it ... Roger's streak ends at 41. • College basketball: That Ohio ...
Welcome To The Frothing-At-The-Mouth Insanity
We'll get more into our thoughts on the bracket tomorrow — and before you yell at us, we really didn't expect Illinois to make it, and we're far from certain they deserve it ... not that we mind! — but first off, we wanted to get our Deadspin PDF bracket up there and ready for you ASAP....
You Are Not Invited, Jim Boeheim
I hate how CBS does this. You've got teams sweating it out, nervous wrecks waiting to see if they'll get in... and the show opens with Greg Gumbel explaining how a single-elimination tournament works. Then we spend about three more minutes with Gumbel spouting off as many words as he possibly can ab...
Examing Potential Targets Of Billy Packer's Rage
We're just minutes away from CBS's selection show, where Jim Nantz will tell you what lucky schools got an at-large tournament bid, and then Billy Packer will tell you why he hates them. Someone has to play the curmudgeon. Two years ago, St. Joe's earned the scorn, and last year, it was George Mason...
To Watch Tonight...
• College Basketball: NIT Selection Show. I am very sorry to tell you that I'll be watching. 9:00, ESPNU. • NBA: Mavericks @ Lakers. With Kobe's proclivity for elbowing white people, Dirk should probably watch his back. 9:00, ESPN. • Movie: Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Perhaps Patches O'Houliha...
LeftoverDome...
• A PGA Golfer is in a whole lot of trouble over a street race that killed someone. [SI] • When the tires are hard, Tony Stewart gets pissed off. [Loser with Socks] • You know what Evander Holyfield is going to do? He's going to investigate this thing all by his damn self. [Deuce of Davenport] • Per...
Like You're Above That, Lewis
This isn't new, but with the upcoming onslaught of ESPN tournament coverage, I thought it might be helpful to revisit some of the masturbatory habits of your favorite ESPN analysts. Majerus likes Ashley Judd, and in the absence of Ashley Judd, likes hotel room porno....
The Patriots Are Dominating Free Agency
I'm growing increasingly uncomfortable with how the New England Patriots are spending money this off-season. The Patriots are a threat to win the Super Bowl when they aren't spending money. Adding Adalius Thomas, Wes Welker, Kyle Brady and now Donte Stallworth to the mix... it just makes me terribly...
That Lucky Janitor Saw Something Special
West Virginia isn't likely to hear their name called during this evening's NCAA Selection Show, so to cushion the blow, I thought we could check in with former Mountaineer stars Mike Gansey and Patrick Beilein and see what they're up to these days....
The Behavior In The WAC Is Very Disappointing
WAC commissioner Karl Benson (the Tiny Universe was unavailable for comment) is concerned about some of the behavior of his players and coaches during the WAC tournament. The Idaho Statesman runs down a list of poor WAC behavior, including Reggie Theus storming onto the floor and yelling at an oppos...
Can Pacman Jones Please Pick Up His 7-10 Split In Peace?
With "wrong place, wrong time" becoming less of a clich and more of a way of life, Pacman Jones is in the news again. A knife-wielding man went after Pac in a bowling alley last night, threatening to beat him up and slice a few holes in him. Jeff Fisher is not a suspect....
College Hoops Compendium: Where To Start...
An effort to hit the high points in yesterday's college basketball action would be futile... there wasn't much that happened yesterday that wasn't significant. If you sat on your ass and watched college hoops all yesterday, I salute you....
