Look at this from UNC’s perspective. You have just beaten Duke this past weekend. You are virtually guaranteed a #1 seed in the tournament. Now you’re asked to give it your all against ACC opponents and potentially against Duke again in the conference championship finals. AND THEN, the following week, start the NCAA tourney.

What’s the incentive? The last few years UNC has won the ACC tournament but have fallen short in the important tourney. UNC would be better off resting its guys, laying an egg at the ACC tourney, and concentrating on the real tournament.

This is why they shouldn’t have gone after Marbury

Sunday, March 8th, 2009 by Yankees Fan

The Celtics were out of synch with Stephon Marbury making his first start at point guard, and the team seemed to let down emotionally following Friday night’s win over Cleveland.

Coach Doc Rivers said he went against his instincts in deciding to start Marbury instead of Eddie House.

Rivers felt pressured to start Marbury because he is a head case. Dumb move, coach. Dumber move, organization.

ESPN Question of the day: Which athlete would be the toughest for you to face

ESPN Question of the day: Which athlete would be the toughest for you to face

Tiger Woods in match play 40%
Lebron James 1 on 1 39%
Larry Fitzgerald in coverage 15%
Alex Ovechkin in a shootout 5%

I don’t get it, I think Tiger is the only one that I would have a chance against. He doesn’t get to physically affect my game. He could have a bad day and I could have the game of my life. Larry Fitzgerald just runs by me. Height doesn’t have an off day for Lebron James. He dunks every time if he plays against me.

Tiger is the only one who, if I’m on fire, I could beat.
