When you see a highly-paid coach sitting there with his mouth open, after losing three games in a row, and all he can say is, “I’m disappointed,” THREE TIMES, what are we to think?
His team is supposed to be made up of really good players. Three of them are the best, the top picks. His team was ranked 1 when they started; on Tuesday, they’re likely going to be pushed out of the top 25. And in order to get into the NCAA tournament, they have to win the SEC — and they’ve already been beaten by all the SEC teams.
Can you guess which coach’s thrice-used defense is, “I’m disappointed?”
This March Madness, it’s not going to be a top seed that takes it. As the college basketball teams go in to their tournaments — some of whom have to win to even get to the big dance — watch those little teams play their hearts out. Witchita State hasn’t lost a game yet. They’ve played some big teams, but now all their games are in their league. They didn’t play anybody “big” last year and made it to the final four. They’re well-coached. I’m just saying, you can’t count on the big dogs and the top seeds as you enter your bracket-picking.
On a related note, the NBA should absolutely make the age minimum 20 to enter. Staying in school a few more years is never a bad thing.
Lastly, a word about the PGA Honda Classic currently being played in Florida. Poor Rory McIlroy. I hope he keeps it together. Tiger Woods withdrew because “his back was bothering him.” He happened to be so far down it wasn’t funny… I can’t wait until the Master’s in April.
