March (Haircut) Madness

As bad a weekend as it was for Auburn's baseball and basketball teams, not to mention injuries on the football field, it was a great start to one of the best times of the sports year, college basketball in March. All the great games this weekend had WRAS wishing we could have ordered DirecTV's Mega March Madness right now. All of these games involved tournament teams, bubble teams, buzzer beaters, overtime, everything we love about this time of the year:

-North Carolina overcomes Boston College's Tyrese Rice's 46 points,
-Texas Tech pulls the upset over potential number one seed Texas,
-Duke gets win #800 for Coach K over a tough NC State team,
-Stanford beats Washington State in a Top 25 battle,
-Kansas gets revenge against Michael Beasley and K-State,
-Arkansas keeps their NCAA hopes alive with a win over Vandy,
-Syracuse chokes the game (and their NCAA hopes) away against Pitt,
-Georgetown overcomes a tough Marquette to win on the road in overtime,
-Mississippi State beats defending champ Florida on the road,
-Tennessee rebounds to win over Kentucky,
-Louisville strengthens their seed with a win over Villanova,
-Michigan State blows out the now schizophrenic Indiana Hoosiers, and
-UCLA gets a last second win on the road against Arizona (no bottles thrown).

If the NCAA tournament is as good as this past weekend's games, it'll be a great three weeks, including the first two rounds of the tournament here in Birmingham at the BJCC.

Though it wasn't all good this past weekend, a disturbing trend on the Florida Gator's basketball team has emerged as the white boys on the team were seen sporting this retro eighties haircut. WRAS doesn't know the name of the cut but check out the two shaved stripes on the sides of their head. We've never understood Florida boys and we probably never will.
