March Madness

I've finally calmed down enough to comment, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to throw any flowers and kisses at the Aztecs.

The Jayhawks shot 25% from the field in the first half, but defense kept them in the game until they could regain their composure and start sinking shots. They may not have the best offense in the realm, but they have character. And they have Jeff Withey. Michigan, however, is going to test them big time.

The Aztecs, for the second game in a row, allowed themselves to be intimidated and bullied by a team that is far to small to do anything of the sort. Unwilling to even attempt to penetrate, they stood outside and took bad shots from bad angles. Trailing by a mere two points, they lost their poise altogether and decided that if they couldn't play offense then they might as well not play defense either, allowing FGCU to score on something like 26 consecutive posessions and to make a 17-0 run. That was a pathetic effort.
