Congratulations to the Kentucky Wildcats. And half the team will be declaring for the draft, I am almost certain of this. John Calipari, you've done a great job with the team, and I'm sure you're still savoring the title.

Now, on to NBA basketball. Spurs could easily seal the top seed in the West, if they continue to ball like the way they have won close games, and blown out teams. Who says that an aging Tim Duncan can't contribute anymore? The Lakers have been losing games they should have won, clearly, they should have never traded Derek Fisher away (I'm loving how Kobe will soon explode at the team, perhaps?) I presume another worldwide newsflash when he starts going on a rant. I do not like the Lakers and its always cool to see them lose.  Lets hope that the Spurs don't get bounced in the first round like last year! Utterly dreadful. Houston/Denver could play shocker. The postseason is approaching, and oh damnit! Final exams in less than 3 weeks and all I really am bothered about is...... sporting action. NHL playoffs too! The New York Rangers have the top seed in the East!

And guess what the Red Sox and Yankees have in common? Winless after 2 games in the regular season. Signing Hiroki Kuroda (or however you spell his name) was a mistake. What a bust. We choked, Mariano Rivera is getting old. David Robertson should be the closer for good... well, I assume he will take over Mo when he retires. Too soon to press the panic button?

Raul Ibanez as the DH? He's 40 but can still hit the longball. I'm looking forward to a long season of  hits, homeruns, strikes thrown by CC Sabathia and of course, seeing Andy Pettitte back in action.

Oh, and the job hunt starts right after my last paper. I've yet to do anything with my resume or write up cv's. Sports conquers my life, sadly.

Kansas pulled this one off, despite being down for the whole game. Well, the last 3 minutes or so they finally fought for the lead and never gave Ohio State a chance to overtake them. In the second half, they forced the Buckeyes to take jumpshots and denied them from slashing and cutting and driving into the paint, scoring at will, like how they did earlier on.

Kentucky beat Louisville, I didn't manage to wake up and watch it. Monday's title game will surely be a hum-dinger. John Calipari vs Bill Self and a talented load of players gunning for the crown.

Who will be climbing up the ladder in the Superdome and cutting down the net for the final time this season and be crying tears of joy when One Shining Moment is being played in the arena with a video shown on the jumbotron and on millions of tv screens across America? That song makes me teary eyed... annual affair!
