2,000

Duke became the fourth team in college basketball history to win 2,000 games last night as they also advanced to the round of 16 in the NCAA tournament with a victory over Creighton 66-50.  Duke trails Kentucky, Kansas and North Carolina as the only teams with more NCAA wins.  The Devils survive foul trouble but take second half control and advance to the Sweet 16.  This is the 21st time in Coach K's career at Duke that they have made the Sweet 16.

Miami who doesn't play too often in the NCAA tournament survived a close call against Illinois 63-59.  As well as the Hurricanes have played this year since they haven't been in the NCAA tournament in years you had to worry that the top team in the ACC might not react very well in a tight game but the Canes came through.

North Carolina's season ended  playing one of the teams they are chasing in the all time wins list in Kansas as the Heels lead most of the way but faded late to lose 70-58.

How about the State of Florida.  Three teams in the sweet 16 as Florida Gold Coast, Florida  and Miami are all in.  Florida GC becomes the first 15th seed to make it to the Sweet 16.  Maybe this is the year for a no name to win it all.

Can anybody tell me why  now that they have gone to the four games on four different stations and all the games start at a different time when one goes to commercial why they are all in commercial.  Several times this weekend I have flipped to watch another game and that game has the same commercial playing  that the game I was watching had on.

Found out last night there has been a schedule change for Rocky Mount baseball this week as they play Nash Central on Tuesday at home at 7pm.  They were suppose to play Hunt Thursday but I understand that Hunt has a conflict and the game has been moved to Friday.  When I know the time I will pass it along.

I can tell you one rule I wish they would change right now.  This season the jv's are playing just before the varsity.  Last week when Rocky Mount played Fike the jv game finished right at the time limit.  To me this does not give the varsity the proper time to get ready for the game.  Please move the jv games either to another day or let the jv's play away while the varsity is home.  If they are going to play both at the same site start the jv game a half hour earlier than they do now please.
