It’s the Hall of Fame, Baby!

In other news… Dick Vitale might be headed to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Dickie V was up for the award last year, but wasn’t enough of a PTPer to make it. 
 

Whether this time next year Vitale will be a Diaper Dandy in Springfield, Massachusetts is still unclear.  He faces competition from Phil Jackson, who was a much better coach, and Chris Mullen, who was a much more serendipitous player.
 

Dick will have to rely solely on his catch phrases and excitability to make it into the Hall, and considering what he’s up against it’s going to be a Maalox Masher of a competition.
 

No, sir.  It wont be any dipsy-doo dunkeroo slam-jam-bam, baby.  He’s going to have to catch fire, but not like his Dukies are now.
 If you think that maybe the exclamation “Baby!” should be inducted instead, get NCAA basketball tickets at StubHub.com.

Bubble Thoughts

One team that’s been turning heads and taking names in the past few weeks is Rick Patino’s Louisville Cardinals.  A huge win over Big East big fish Pittsburgh gave the injury-ridden team hope, and the Selection Committee something to think about in a few weeks. 
 

The Cardinals have had their ups and their downs this season, and until lately it was a wonder which team would show up on any given game day.  Pat Forde likes what he sees in the team that’s suddenly getting healthy at just the right time, but even still, they’re just on … the Bubble. 
 

The Bubble is as dangerous a place to be, and is a little like being Prince.  You don’t know whether you’re in or out.
 

But it’s also an exciting place to be.  For bracketeers that like to pick underdogs, Louisville is a team you might want to consider penciling in to the later rounds.
 

Louisville will have to keep on track in the Big East Championship Tournament, and if it does, expect the unexpected come tourney time.
 

There won’t be any bracket cheat sheets, but you can find all the Louisville tickets you need at StubHub.com.
