Big week of NCAA FB? How about NCAA hoops...
What a week it was - in fact - still is, in the world of college hoops.
.::. Georgetown-Duke was a sloppy game but still came down to the wire. Bottom line: both teams are overrated.
.::. Just as I was beginning to write a piece about Maryland basketball being a top 10 (maybe even top 5) program ... they fall to lowly Notre Dame. Still at 8-1 the Terps are a team to be afraid of come March.
.::. Nice week for University of Florida football program; not the same for the basketball team.
.::. Speaking of football: while we won't see an Ohio State-Michigan rematch for the championship; in basketball, don't be surprised to see a Ohio State-UNC rematch for the championship.
.::. I have no idea who Missouri has played, but just throwing it out there ... they are 9-0.
.::. I told you Marquette is overrated.
.::. Butler and Marist are two teams that weren't in my preseason Top 10 Mid-Majors, but should've been. They'll be in my next batch, because guards A.J. Graves (Butler) and Jared Jordan (Marist) are two unknown studs of college hoops.
.::. So let's get this straight. Gonzaga lost Adam Morrison to the NBA, but somehow they are 8-1 with wins over UNC and Texas. Hmmm...
.::. The ACC > Big East.
.::. Have to do it ... big congrats to my Radford Highlanders of the Big South Conference for upsetting the Richmond Spiders (@ Richmond) by 17. Next up for RU? A home date with 2006 Final Four squad George Mason.

The Sony Ericsson Open is currently the largest tournament in the world with Title Sponsorship. When Butch Buchholz established the event in 1985, it marked the first time in 56 years that a new two-week tournament featuring men and women was launched. Located in Delray Beach (Laver’s International Tennis Center) in 1985 and Boca Raton (Boca West) in 1986, the tournament found a permanent home in 1987 on Miami’s Key Biscayne. In 1994, Miami-Dade County christened the Tennis Center at Crandon Park, a 30-acre expanse that is transformed each year from a public tennis facility into a full-fledged festival for the Sony Ericsson Open. The Sony Ericsson Open was awarded “Tournament of the Year” by the ATP for four consecutive years and seven of the last eight years and in 2004 by the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour and is considered one of the most prestigious titles in professional tennis. In 1999, the tournament was purchased by IMG.
The only combined 12-day Tennis Masters Series event on the ATP and Sony Ericsson WTA Tour calendar, the Sony Ericsson Open features the world's top-ranked pros – 96 men and 96 women in singles competition, and 32 men's teams and 32 women's teams in doubles action. The men’s final is best 3-out-of-5 sets with every other match in both men’s and women’s singles and doubles will be best 2-out-of-3.
Known as Tennis' 5th Grand Slam, the Sony Ericsson Open is second only to the US Open in attendance for American events.Championship Tennis Tours since 1987 sells Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Tickets and Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Packages.
