Friday (10:53)

I wake up to words that Tubby Smith is likely to leave Minnesota for Auburn.. What? This had better be a money situation because there is no reason to make that jump.. Its not even a good jump. If Tubby leaves and ever comes back to Minnesota, Im guessing he will be treated a lot worse than Chuck Knoblauch. Unless we can bring in another name to replace him, this organization is going to be a nightmare. That said, Come on Tubby! Win us a game today!!

Picks:

West Virginia -18.5 Over Morgan State (WVU is pissed they didnt get a 1 seed, and unfortunately, Morgan is going to feel the grunt of that.)

Gophers +1 over Xavier (I feel this is yet another Vegas pick that wants you to take Xavier.. Unless, they are doing the reverse and feel people will take the Gophers because of their run in the Big 10 tournament.. That said, this is the appropriate line.)

Temple -3.5 over Cornell. (Im not buying all this Cornell bandwagon stuff.. Yes, this is the team they would most want to play, but in the end, its still an Ivy League team that will get run in this game. Randy Whitman's kid is on the team and was on my favorite show, First Take yesterday. Here is what he had to say:

How has Cornell been planning for this game?
Whitman: Well, we have been playing Super Smash Brothers a lot on N64, and we constantly have Lost parties.

Theres you have it. Bill Cosby kicks the shit out of Andy Bernard this afternoon.

ATS= 6-9-1 (Kind of need a comeback.. I have two locks later today.. Louisville in a pickem and Gonzaga +1... Make fun of those picks......Now.
