Tournament Questions
So now that the NCAA tournament has begun, posting here, like everywhere on the internet, has slowed to a crawl. I, myself, have just developed the ability to watch basketball and not be confused/bored the entire time, so, in my further watching of the tournament, tell me:
What should I look for?
What exactly does "low post" play entail?
Is Kansas winning by 40 points today as impressive as it sounds, even though they were playing against Testicle State University?
Apparently is a "touch" is as simple as it sounds, but then why do some players get so few? Is it a sign their team is bad at passing or has a ball-hog?
How many rebounds and blocks are impressive in a high-level college game?
How stupid is naming your school "Winthrop?"
How many of you are watching the tournament more than in passing, particularly now that Arizona is out?
Why are people always so confused when I tell them I like sports? Is it because I also like Gilbert and Sullivan?
Also: my bracket is currently in the 87th percentile of all the brackets at Yahoo's Fantasy Sports bracket thinger. And only one team that I picked to win more than one game lost in the opening round, so that's something.
It's because you like sports but never played any.
Also- you like Gilbert and Sullivan, chick flicks (going to see Princess Diaries was your idea, as I recall, not that I minded), you're scared of bugs (although not all), you love tiny little kitties, Ben & Jerry's, Vogue, and picking out outfits for me. Among other things. Although these are all reasons that I like you, they are not your stereotypical hobbies or intersts of a sports-watching, stats-spouting jock. Again with the stereotyping, but I think that's why people are confused. :)
