Dookies Hold On

I blame the Belmont loss solely on myself. Nothing good ever comes from sneaking in peeks at scores through your cellphone during dinner. Regardless, it was a pretty disappointing loss for Duke haters everywhere. The Tourney really needed that upset, as the entire day was filled with uneventful games and only one notable upset in Kansas State over USC. I had USC going deep in a pair of brackets, but when you have the country's best player (Beasley), that's always worth a round or two in my book.

Miami plays tomorrow afternoon and I'm a bit worried about our chances. Reading up on the Gaels, not only do they have the talent to beat us, they also are taking the Canes very seriously. I'm sure Frank Haith has prepared his team to the utmost, but it can't help that Miami is playing a team that most of us had never heard of till this week. Frankly I don't think they will advance. Then again, every time I go pessimistic on these Canes, they go out and beat Duke or win 4 straight in the ACC. We'll see.
