Shockers Indeed Shock Television Audience Of Zero; Jay Bilas Still Hates VCU
The Witchita State Shockers (yes, Witchita State) won the 2011 NIT last night 66-57 over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Should you care? No. I don't. But really, it lets these kids sleep at night, especially because they go to Witchita State. What?
Better article.
Anyway, Alabama got smacked by a team that wasn't on the bubble. Even Harvard (who, by the way, I had in the tournament) got smushed by someone who wasn't on the bubble. Colorado got beat by Alabama who wasn't in the tournament to start with, anyway. So really, did any of these teams deserve an NCAA bid? Considering VCU "failed the laugh test" with Jay Bilas and they're in the Final Four, what else do we have to expect?
Oh by the way, expect Butler, yes Butler, to beat VCU. Why? They smashed #6 Georgetown, #3 Purdue, and even #1 Kansas, but only beat #10 Florida by one point. They're good against good teams and bad against bad teams. (Remember how the Browns beat the Saints and Patriots and SO nearly tied the Jets last year? Yeah. It made me - a Steelers fan - want to knaw my teeth out.) After all, VCU plays in the CAA losing hard fought games to Northeastern, Drexel, and James Madison. I can't dog them too much, a good number of teams that they lost to made it to the tournament (and got blasted in the first round).
Oh sorry, what was I talking about? Witchita State. Sorry.
Did ANYONE actually watch the NIT? I didn't even know it was on. Now, I watch Sportscenter every morning, and the fact that I had to look up Google News this morning to even find out it existed is a shame. This better not be some convoluted April Fool's joke...
