A Loss by Any Other Score …
We’re fully aware that it was college basketball’s biggest weekend. We watched as much of it as we could - we’re just kind of in the middle of some stuff. Not “ugly divorce” level stuff, just “haven’t slept more than three hours a night in the last week because work has taken over at the worst possible time” stuff. So, trust us - as badly as you want more posts, we want to be writing them. (Or, maybe you just want to complain for more posts. We don’t always understand.) Then again, I suppose we could have pulled a Brian Cook and pretended our heads were buried in the sand for a couple of days thanks to the easter eggs laid by the Devils and Hoyas.
Anyway - in the meantime, a bit of sorta kinda news for you: the NCAA sent out a release late Sunday to clarify that Texas A&M only lost to UCLA by two, not four as originally reported. Considering the game time line was about 10.5 points, not even gamblers care about this news. But don’t let that stop the Aggies, who will go their graves thinking that UCLA got away with a foul in the closing seconds. (They are right, but let’s not encourage them.)
When asked for comment about the loss and, ya know, end of their team’s season, A&M students responded the only way they know how:
| Old, but gooooooooood-ooooooooooowwwwwwwwww. |
(HT: Dave.)

I believe said Aggies has one FG in the last 9:30. Probably as nig a factor in the game as anything. A&M got plenty of calls in their favor Saturday, just not the one they wanted.

If it makes you feel any better, SI has opened up its entire archive to free browsing online.
For example, a really cool article about Lefty Driesell and the Davidson Wildcats from 1969–my dad’s senior year there, and the last time they won a game in the tournament.
