No Silver Lining for Orange and other stuff

Well, big win at Virginia where Sean Singletary had the strangest set of symptoms. Could have lost to the Hoos, but everyone made shots when they had to late to get the win. Today was another story, and all I can say is that I can't watch the game because it was regional (I will find a bar to watch those games at.). But TWO A-10 teams, Rhode Island and UMass? Not the best resume features looking for an at-large bid. A need for some return to Big East dominance is surely needed.
I think the record for number of sets of brothers playing in a game was set today when Indiana welcomed Kentucky to Assembly Hall. Mike and DJ both suited up for Indiana, while Joe and Jordan Crawford had their parents mismatching apparel from both schools for the Wildcats and the Hoosiers, respectively. Jordan, the younger of the two, doubled his brother point total with 20, and the Hoosiers ran away with it, 70-51. DJ White was a little underfed in the post going against a pretty terrible Kentucky frontline (Patrick Patterson needs some time before he can dominate players with DJ's experience.), and he only had six shots after 25 minutes? Him getting fed regularly in the post and high post is definitely going to be essential to any Indiana success.
And Kentucky fans? Please don't be discouraged by the loss to Gardner-Webb and this slow start. Think about what Tubby Smith did in his first year with Rick Pitino's talent. This is what Gillispie is doing with Tubby's talent, so give him a few years to get his pieces in place.
I think McFadden should have been given the Heisman, but I also don't get a vote. Tebow did have a record-setting season, but McFadden beat the #1 team in the country, and now its the #2. Because of this voting result, the Cotton Bowl is going to be damn good. McFadden and Chase Daniel are both going to be pretty pissed about not winning the Heisman so they'll each try to have big games, McFadden probably more so since he had a better year this year than last, when he also finished second. And the win over LSU definitely seemed like icing on the cake.
I'm out like J-Kidd with a migraine.
