/Friday Shitbag

Bonebag:

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!  The vocal chords are still reeling from high-pitched shrieks sent forth from the pub last night, but I guess a top notch Sweet 16 battle will do that to you.  Anytime you reach the point when you are absolutely willing to accept either team winning a contest, you have reached athletic nirvana and hopefully we all at least got close last night.  Kansas State's elite backcourt carried the day combining for 53 points, and some especially clutch shooting down the stretch from my man on your left.  Then again, Xavier's backcourt wasn't too shabby either, pouring in 58 points.  Huge shots, dramatics, two likable teams, this game was just a treat and had me peeing like I was up all night have sex this morning, which I'll take... Which I'll take.

Shitbag:

Can you really blame Jim Boeheim for this loss?  Is it really the coaches fault when your team only shoots 37% from the field and only gets to the line 14 times?  Can you blame a coach who is short a top player for an entire tournament?  Can you blame a coach whose point guard turns into a turnover machine down the stretch?  No. But we're going to anyway.  Whether or not Onuaku was truly the key to the salvation of the Orange (he wasn't), the Q's went 2-3 in their last five games, which is well, not good.  And this time, they couldn't even blame the format of the tournament as they did in the Big East round.  Actually, I should be thanking you, Jimmy; after all, your loss last night just gave me an inside edge in the Tourney Challenge.
