Found in the Basement of the Alamo
The annual NCAA March Madness Tournament is about to tip-off, so now’s the time to get your bracket filled in before the Thursday deadline. I entered my picks at CBS Sportsline and Yahoo! Groups to spice things up as I keep tabs on the games these next few weeks. Although 64 collegiate basketball teams battling to reach the Final Four and National Championship Game at San Antonio’s Alamodome is without a doubt exciting, there admittedly isn’t much to interest individuals indifferent to sports. One local radio station has come to the rescue for those more “fashion” minded with the 93.1 Jack FM March Mullet Madness where contestants from the Mud Flap, Squirrel Pelt, Waterfall, and Top Hat brackets face off in a showdown of embarrassingly eighties hairstyles. Each vote gets these brave souls one step closer to a 1969 Camaro SS; your choices for round 1 end on Wednesday at 6 PM. If you really want to get into the spirit, wear a Mullet Wig while you pick your favorites.
The Lakers eked out a 102-100 win tonight against the Dallas Mavericks as Purple and Gold snapped a two-game losing streak with help from Kobe Bryant’s 29 points and seven assists. Vladamir Radmanovic’s 21-point contribution was well over his PPG average and Lamar Odom shared defensive duties with Ronny Turiaf in amassing 17 rebounds and 4 blocks, respectively. LA’s Western Conference road trip ends on Thursday when they travel to Salt Lake City and face the 45-24 Utah Jazz. After losing Pau Gasol to a sprained ankle in New Orleans for an undetermined amount of time, they’ll be lucky to end up with a split after the quartet of challenging match-ups is completed. The NBA’s second longest winning streak is over, as the Boston Celtics visited Houston and dealt the Rockets a 94-74 loss after 22 straight victories. It was quite a run for Tracy McGrady, Rafer Alston, Luis Scola, and Co. and they’re still perched atop the West’s standings but, with the postseason looming, Boston stepped in at just the right time to once again position themselves as the team to beat.
