Day 366

• Now OFFICIALLY into Year Two.
• Johnny Damon's narrative just fell apart.  Police records show Damon blew a .30 BAC two hours after the arrest for DUI.  Meaning he was at least a .33 when he was arrested and maybe worse where he drank!  .30 is usually the low end of LETHALITY!!!  .40 or .50 is more likely, but there is a low lethal chance where Damon was.   
• The NCAA has already announced that Virginia and Kansas are basically at-large locks for the field and will be chosen if done so, under the conditions the NCAA has set for teams to play in the tournament.  Now word that Duke, far less than a lock, probably would get the same consideration if chosen.
• When are people going to learn...  You want to make a racist comment?  Good, Chris Harrison.  You're fired too!
• You won't hear anything about it, but California Baptist University has completed an undefeated Division I women's basketball regular season and a Western Athletic Conference championship.  Grand Canyon University Utah Valley (correction:  The conference awards the berth to the second place team in the regular season) wins the berth to the NCAA tournament -- this is CBU's first fourth (correction)year in Division I and there is a transition period before any school entering D1 can be eligible for the tournament -- which, for CBU, will end after next school year.
• Since the NCAA does NOT administer the women's NIT (it DOES administer the men's), Cal Baptist will get to try it's luck against those teams.
• At 66, we lost Marvelous Marvin Hagler today.
• The Oklahoma girls' basketball team in the center of the controversy regarding the racist announcer, won the state championship today.
• No teams have opted out of the NCAA tournament selection process as of an 11 Eastern deadline tonight -- so it appears Virginia and Kansas are in and Duke will at least be in consideration.
