Sports Saturday + Friday Night

So this weekend was a dud in regards to the majority of the college basketball games. There was one truelly great game and that was the Friday night Triple OT game between West Virginia and Pitt. West Virginia the #4 team in the country at the time seemingly quit up seven with about a minute to go and Pitt sent it into overtime then another and then another. I wanted to sleep Friday night but was up till past midnight watching the backyard brawl. The opening ceremonies of the olympics were that night and as usual Canada failed. Way to have a major malfunction with one of those interior torches with hundreds of millions of people watching. Also prayers go out to the luger that lost his life Friday afternoon.
So Saturday arrives and I have all my chores the wife told me to do done and I start to watch some basketball. Every game was a blowout and not really worth watching. There were some things I did learn is that Duke is very tough at home and if Brian Zoubek puts up half of the performance he did that game they could be a title contenter. It was something like 16 points and 19 boards. Also Nova didnt impress much with there 1 point win over Providence AT HOME. They did not play great defense and won 82-81. Also Kansas played a soso game till one big run towards the end of the game to win by 14 against Iowa State. The big hyped game was the Kentucky game with Gameday there and a packed house just for that 1 hour. Tennessee has shown how to beat Kentucky and thats to play the 3-2 zone and make them beat you outside. Also frustrate Demarcus Cousins. John Wall put together a pretty good game with 22 points but still had 4 turnovers. Also to beat them take the air out of the ball on offense and limit possessions.
Then there is NBA all star weekend. What a joke. Nate Robinson won the slam dunk contest for the 3rd time and he only has 3 in game dunks. I would just as well get rid of that dumb contest unless the best dunkers are going to be in it like they said they would. LEBRON. Big deal as well with Caron Butler going from the Wizards to the Mavericks. Also the big deal the Cavs are working on acquiring Amare Stoudamire from Phoenix. My personal opinion is they could be breaking up a good thing. They have the best record in the NBA and have great chemistry. Plus they are getting Leon Powe back from injury. The Shaq and Amare thing was tried in Phoenix and didnt work out well.
Danica wrecked at the nationwide race. I know it wasn't her fault but still she had not even mastered the open wheel racing and she takes on this. I think she should have at least won a few more races on that circuit before coming to NASCAR.
As for Sunday things to watch I would recommend the Ohio State vs Illinois basketball game. Also you cant forget about the Olympics and The Daytona 500.
Enjoy your Sunday.
