fair enough win for the cats today. because i'm an idiot and a masochist, i'm looking forward to tomorrow. mohamed played another strong game, making up for vu's foul trouble-induced lack of production. is there a more lovable player in hoops than michael jenkins, who put up an 8-point, 3-board, 7-assist, 5-steal performance and was the floor leader all game long.

i don't understand why the cats don't press all the time.

is it too much trouble for brent musberger to do a bit of research? like, say, learn how to pronounce a starter's name? all game long, mr. duvancic was called dav-vor (rather than dah-vor) do-waan-ick (rather than do-wahn-chich). it's a small thing, but i think it's really his responsibility as a pro.

it must be an odd little thing to be on the air during an 11:00 a.m. game. nobody's in attendance, the teams are uninspiring, and either one is scheduled for slaughter the next day. still, is it too much to be a little excited by the contest?

highlight of the game: post-game interview. after finishing the interview, coach carmody pulls erin andrews just a bit closer for a short little moment. yeah, coach, we were watching. reach for the stars.
