Basketball Tonight

Got E-mail from Charles Alston over night that Tashawn Mabrey needs six points tonight to become the second Gryphon in basketball history to hit the 2,000 point plateau. Going into tonight he is 99 points short of Phil Ford's all time Rocky Mount scoring record of 2,093.

Fike is in the house tonight providing the conference competition.

The NFL final four is set. 3.00pm Sunday the Colts host the New York Jets and the late game Sunday night will be Minnesota @ New Orleans. You have Peyton Manning, Brett Favere, Drew Brees and Mark Sanchez as the final four quarterbacks. Who would have ever thought Sanchez would be in final four his rookie year a year when the Jets got better when they took the ball away from Sanchez and started running with it.

I doubt whether they will win Super Bowl but it is nice to see a team play the old fashion way with defense and four yards and a sod of grass.

Last night Connecticut women ran all over Duke's women by about 30 in Durham. That makes both Duke and Carolina that have been killed by Connecticut this year joining every team that is getting slaughtered. This U-Conn women's team might be able to beat the U-Conn men.

ACC basketball looks a lot like the football league. Duke's twenty point win over Wake was surprising. i just don't see too many teams from ACC making the Sweet 16 thisyear in NCAA basketball tournament unless someone gets hot in the next eight weeks. That right there is still eight weeks until the NCAA tournament and a lot can change between now and then.
