1. They need to stop bracketing Big East teams against Pac-10 teams, if only because of the cheerleader mismatches. BC-USC was pretty stark last night, and Villanova-UCLA isn't much better today.
2. Not to keep going back to the NIT (NIT fever!), but it was nice to see Kentucky playing their game the other night at Memorial Coliseum. These big-time program that drop into the NIT should consider the same thing. I seem to recall North Carolina State and Georgetown finding excuses to play at their older, smaller, cooler gyms. One exception I can think of: South Carolina. Carolina Coliseum always looked incredibly dark on TV, to the point that it was hard to see who was doing what. Cocky wisely stayed in the new place for the loss against Davidson.
3. Have you seen the NCAA commercial showing young people wearing their athletic stuff while they do academic things? The tennis player is bouncing the ball on the side of her racket while she does computer-assisted design, the soccer player is playing the violin while he does ball tricks. It's imaginative, but then any commercial for the NCAA has to be. Because if you did a commercial showing what the NCAA does, it would show a bunch of bureaucrats pushing papers around in cubicles in Indy, figuring out ways to keep a kid from playing because he accepted a meal worth 10 bucks. And that wouldn't make for very good viewing, would it?.
