Jackie Manuel’s Posse

I’ve only got time for a bit o blog this morning as I actually have work to do. Before I get started I must say that pictures of Karl Rove and Mike Krzyzewski first thing in the morning is really terrible. Extremely sorry if anyone else had to deal with that. Carolina wins! It was not pretty and I thought the key was the play of Alex and Deon. Each of them had seven boards and played very well on defense. Carolina’s dominance on the boards was huge on a night when neither team shot 40%. Certainly, Wayne Ellington deserves some props as well. Lawson was missed but I could not be happier that Carolina was strong in two of the areas where I had doubts. Maybe the Ohio State is not very good, but I doubt many will go into Columbus and win. The ACC wins 8-3.    TIVO ALERT!

Cash Cup round up.  A quick look at the standings show that all but three groups have meaningful last round match-ups. Chelsea, AC Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Roma, Inter Milan, Sevilla, and Arsenal are already through. Might as well only allow clubs from England, Italy, and Span, no?  The Canes are struggling. Might I suggest this song. I am in favor of this. Bye now.
