There were no palindromic scores in 84 games on Saturday. That makes 39 palindromic scores in 5,285 games this year. It's been one day since the last palindromic score.

The two teams in the BIG that I dislike the most ate in the finals.....I refuse to watch it.

I stayed up to see the overtime game, Mitchell hits two big threes late in overtime; Iowa made several stupid decisions in OT.

O.S. is full of underclassman, too, and along with Maryland will dominate the next couple of years. I think next season we will be happy with fifth place. Mitchell is the real deal and nearly impossible to cover.

I will root for the Ohio State tonight. Plus, can never root for Brenda, who is so full of herself I think she allows herself to be miked up for most games, and brings cameras into the lockerroom to hear her corny cheerleading speeches.
