MARCH MADNESS
(IN THE REF'S BRAIN!)

The NCAA Men's basketball tournament is nigh upon us. I'm going with the bold yet extremely vain pick of Xavier to go all the way. This is a year for redemption.

Three years ago, Duke beat Xavier during the Elite 8 game after the referees wrongly fouled out Xavier's star center Anthony Myles with 12 minutes left to play. They called two fouls on Myles within 6 seconds! That's got to be some kind of record. From USA TODAY: "The Musketeers were hurt when Anthony Myles, who netted 16 points, picked up a pair of questionable fouls [emphasis added] - his fifth of the game coming with 12:27 left and Xavier holding a 44-41 lead..."

Mark my words. Xavier will get further than Duke in this year's tournament...

3/15 Update - Beware the Ides of March, Duke fans (sorry, Sadie) - LOL - talk about karma, baby. Xavier upset BYU and Duke lost to an 11-seed in the First Round! Already Xavier will go further than Duke...

3/17 Update: I may have a had a few too many Irish car bombs but... Xavier got ripped off!!! AGAIN!!!!! If you think I'm biased... WATCH THE VIDEO HERE. Decide for yourself.
