Memphis-Kansas halftime

Commercial note II – Bob Knight appears in a Volkswagen ad. He may not be the world’s greatest actor, but he’s still captivating on screen. At one point Knight gets angry and throws the Ikea-looking piece of furniture he’s sitting on about three feet in front of him. They couldn’t find him something a little lighter? It made his toss look rather wimpy.

10:20 pm – I can’t understand the rumors that Bill Self could potentially leave Kansas. How is it that one of the four or five most storied programs of all time can’t come up with enough money to secure a coach? Roy Williams leaving to go to UNC is one thing, but losing Bill Self would just be embarrassing.

10:23 – Congratulations to Tyler Hansbrough for becoming the second ACC player in the last three years to accept the Naismith Award with a complete and utter lack of enthusiasm after getting bounced from the Tournament earlier than he would have liked. That other player of course is JJ Redick. Look for Hansbrough to have an equally exciting career on the bench.
