[0:00]" Two things today first night's NCA -- championship game between the Kansas jayhawks in the Memphis tigers. On Friday I correctly predicted that Memphis would be UCLA and incorrectly predicted North Carolina beat Kansas. A -- believer again we kept asking myself is Kansas that good or is North Carolina just playing that badly. It was a course combination of both North Carolina just couldn't handle the Kansas defensive pressure and when they did get the ball up court. They were intent on taking the worst possible shots instead of working the ball and try to cut into the deficit to points at a time. There are no ten point shots in basketball but at times looked like the Tar Heels thought there were. Anyway while North Carolina to cut the lead to five in the second half it took too much to get that close and they just ran out of gas since John Philip -- is a former umass coach I'll be rooting for Memphis tonight. But I believe Kansas is the better team. Now the Red Sox are still can't believe they're still people who think that this ridiculous ought to see that the roots auction to go through over the last two and a half weeks wasn't that big deal. Yes it was. They traveled over 34000 miles over nineteen days they played seven regular season games in three different countries with three exhibition games thrown in the middle. I -- going into the Red Sox get to tomorrow's home opener no worse than three and four through the seven games that counted they'd be lucky.
