yesterday shall be remembered as black saturday in the annals of loophole hoops, a day replete with such bizarre bounces that i kept waiting to hear the voice of rod serling calling me back from the twilight zone.
the surreal sojourn began as a i listened while the richmond spiders managed to shoot 33% from the floor while running the princeton offense. if that were not enough, arkansas st loses their top scoring guard to injury 48 hours before the game and must replace hime with a true freshman. good you think? wrong bonehead - this pimple in gym shorts proceeds to rain parabolas from the three point line and pump in a third of his team's total points.
ok,, poop happens, you say, the under in the so miss/new orleans has winner written all over it as these two teams display less offense than a mr rogers - mother teresa mud wrestling matchup. sure enough, the game is about 20 points under at the end of regulation. matter of fact, the game is still under at the end of overtime. but tonight these two exemplars of hoops futility are going to slog through FOUR FRIGGIN' OVERTIMES, so tear up another ticket.
well, at least i still have ga southern and their ten deep rotation going up against an injury-riddled south florida team reduced to a six man team playing their second game in two days. nice setup, right? however, unknown to us, even though halfway into the second period three of the indian starters have four fouls, apparently some russian mafia types have kipnapped all of immediate family members of the ga southern team, and the ransom demand is that eagles shoot nothing but 20 foot jumpers and under no circumstances take the ball into the lane. thankfully, all hostages were released unharmed.
the only salvation to the day for me was having the seminoles and the points, on the moneyline, and teased with louisville and w va. there was no doubt in my mind that the ol gray fox would have something for the critics who made his baby boy the scapegoat for their three game losing streak.
with all the warmth and fuzziness that such a day brings, we stroll out into the daylight of today's card. still waiting on a line on the vcu/uncw game, so only one play for now, call it loophole's revenge:
louisville -21: let's see how hot young mr. ballard is today after playing 38 minutes yesterday and with all the cards' athletes up his ass. make my day punk.
back later,have to go kick the cat.
