Not enough craziness has happened in the early conference tourney finals to really call it March Madness. Hopefully that changes over the next few days, as bubble teams look to survive, and the teams that are locks try to solidify their seeding.

As I said, the homer hat is firmly in place now that it is March. Michigan State will win the Big 10 tourney, and grab themselves the #1 seed in the Midwest, paving their way to Detroit and the Final Four. The depth of MSU is not equaled, and when you get to the 2nd day of the weekend, it will pay huge dividends.

Is anyone else thrown off by the loss of an hour of sleep? I am ready to pass out at my desk. I refused to believe it was 6am this morning when my alarm went off. It was so damn dark outside.

Mikey went linky crazy in The Morning After. Maybe the lack of sleep got to him, too? I haven’t seen the little old man all day long.

Trey gave us a look at the 65 teams headed to the dance as of right now. Gitc picked a new fight, now that his Turtles are on their way to the NIT.

In the Los Angeles Dodgers preview;for the first time ever, Big D and myself agreed on something involving baseball.

Michigan State is on their way to fulfill an pre-season prophecy.

Yao Ming was the Stud of the Day in yesterday’s action. No sign of Paul Pierce.
