GAMETIMES ON FRIDAY
Here are all the gametimes for the tourney Thursday / Friday. GT tips off at 9:40 pm Friday.

NEVADA TEAM WELCOMED BACK AT AIRPORT
Looks like the Jackets weren't the only team to get a warm reception. I think that's great - that's what the tourney is all about. Now.... let's beat the snot out of them.

HEWITT NOT THE ONLY HOT COACH IN RUMOR MILL
Nevada's HC is now being thrown around for jobs and he's not happy about it. However, it is obvious from his quotes he is probably interested in a bigger opportunity........... Speaking of Hewitt and St.John's, this article hints that the new top candidate is probably Chris Mullin. I guess the motto is - if you can't get a great coach - bring back the glory days.

NO RESPECT FROM SPORTSLINE
The put us as #4 in our bracket of the 4 remaining teams (story here). Actually, I like it when we are underdogs.

SO IS YOUR BRACKET BUSTED????
This article looks at the teams left. FYI, my final four picks are all still alive - UConn, GT, Dook and Ok.St. I have UConn/GT in the finals and UConn winning it all.......... This article looks at remaining teams also, but he gets the ACC wrong - saying we have 4 teams left - whoops............. So how much workplace productivity is lost during tourney season? This article discusses that, but it is worth it!!

A TRIBUTE TO TIM PICKETT
Nice article on Pickett - a great college player and probably the ACC's best pro-prospect right now. His season is not over, but not much left. I like the writer's comments on the 1st GT/FSU game - "Remember that game against Georgia Tech, when he hit shots from everywhere on the floor? I re-watched that game three weeks ago and the rewind button made it look even more impressive. He made shots that no one should have made. Guys hanging on his arm, guys bumping him as he came through screens, guys with hands in his face -- didn't matter. Pickett delivered."

ALERT - WANT TO WATCH DICKEY VS HOWARD ON VIDEO???
