The Zen of Basketball

At the end of March, there are 63 teams that are sad and 1 team that is happy. There is no fair or unfair about this. It simply is. It has been for 100 years and it shall be for 100 more. One can no more change this fact that you can stop hair from growing inside an old man's ear. So do not try, little cricket.

I can attest to the ear hair part.

I think some Utah teams would be happy if they could get past the first round.

Me, too, e.Craig, me, too.

Yeah, sushiboy, sometimes I think BYU would find more fulfillment in the NIT.

Back in the 90's BYU had some tourney love. But I don't they've made it past the first round since before 2000. I think BYU would have a better tournament life in another organization, but so would a lot of other teams, and I wouldn't want the NCAA tourney to become another BCS where 'outside' schools never have a chance (even in their best years) of breaking in to vie for the title.

(The Utes may or may not have been able to win the title this year, but they should have at least been able to prove it somehow, now the world will never know)
