Three Pointers

Saturday night Kentucky shot 32 three pointers in their NCAA lost. They made four. Even at my old age put a blind fold on me and point me in the right direction I can make five three pointers in 32 tries.

Kentucky trailed almost all of the second half and the one thing three point shots have done to basketball is given us the mentality that the three point shot is the quick fix. They have the best big man in the country and who by the way was having a good game and you can't get him the ball.

I hear executives from CBS are jumping out of windows in New York city now that the Duke-Kentucky rematch is history. If they had of played each other in the semi's of the NCAA which would have happened if Kentucky have of held up their end of the bargain. How many times this week would we have seen the Hill to Laettner last second shot from 1992. CBS goes from their biggest ratings game ever to probably the lowest rated final four ever.

College baseball fans now that basketball is beginning to wind down you had better realize quickly that North carolina and North Carolina State are near the bottom in the ACC baseball standings.

Much like basketball when they play each other in a three game series in two weeks the loser will probably be in last place. Carolina has no pitching and State who I saw play yesterday seems to be just good enough to lose.

When the baseball game was over Brooks and I walked across the street at watch State finish up a tennis match with Georgia Tech. This was my first look ever at college tennis and let me tell you those guys are good.

This is the last week before the Easter vacations for high schools and for high school baseball it's the first week of conference play. Tuesday the Gryphons start at Nash Central both softball and baseball will be playing at the same time Tuesday night.

Next week Rocky Mount will play in an Easter tournament not played at Gryphon stadium. They will be playing in the South Johnston tournament.
