1. Not a bad weekend all around. Sure, my bracket got busted when Kansas took a crap against UCLA but – with apologies to Mighty here – I love that Hoya Paranoia is back in action. I just live for seeing Patrick Ewing every couple of minutes via the sideline cam. Although it’ll prove to be a tall task, if Georgetown can win it all, I would be very happy. And if they can’t, well, I’m rooting for the Thad Mattavests. My bandwagon allegiance remains strong.
2. Spring training is just about over and teams will close camp in the next few days. The big stories so far have been about Dice-K mania, the opt-out clause in ARod’s contract, the rumors surrounding Garry Matthews Jr., and the fact that the Cubs are playing with increased expectations for the first time in a few years. Opening night is this coming Sunday and I can’t wait.
3. The NBA playoff races are heating up. In the Western Conference, the Spurs and Suns are going to fight it out for the #2 seed while Dallas seems to have the #1 spot locked up. Kobe’s averaging 41 ppg since March 1st and is trying to will his team back from a 10-14 record since February. Over in the Eastern Conference, Cleveland is heating up and giving Detroit a run for the top spot. Besides that, only four games separate the #7 seed from the #11 seed at the bottom of the standings. The Knicks are desperately trying to squeak into the playoffs but are playing with three of their six best players on the bench due to injuries. It should be an exciting final month for both conferences.
4. My 2007 AL preview will be posted by Wednesday, March 28th.
