Thursday Tournament Observations

Some thoughts while watching basketball and recovering from my own craptacular performance on the court tonight:

1. North Carolina is good. Like, really good.
2. Kevin Love is this year's Sean May. Look out for the man-child over the next two weeks.
3. Josh Ship's confidence is shot. He's passing up shots he would normally take...and make. If UCLA is going to win this thing, they need him to play well.
   
4. The big winner from last weekend's games was Wisconsin. Tomorrow they get to play Davidson instead of Georgetown and then (if they win) get to play perennial choke artist Kansas. Pencil the Badgers in for the Final Four.
5. Drew Lavender's ankle seems healed. Xavior could be a pretty tough match up for UCLA.
6. If Louisville shot better from the charity stripe, I would take them over North Carolina. But they don't, so I won't.
7. Darren Collison scored 4 points against Western Kentucky. That's right, the all-american scored 4 against a 12 seed.
   
8. March Madness in HD is the greatest idea ever.

Hopefully Friday is just as much fun!
