Those Bruins Are A Charmed Bunch [Trick Shot Or Tricky Call]
Deadspin — Following the debacle against Stanford Thursday and now yesterday's flap over Josh Shipp's over-the-backboard shot to beat Cal, a lot of folks are making a hue and cry about UCLA being quite the officiating darlings of late. KC Cal at The Play in California wonders if the Pac-10 is trying to inflate the resume of its top team going into the dance. This is no knock to UCLA. They made the right plays when handed the chance to make them, but the point is that they never should have been handed those moments in the first place. That leads to the ...

Sunday Roundup: Daylight Savings
The Big Lead — Maggie Grace was suggested by a reader. Hard to argue with that logic. Bit of a late start today. Remember to set your clocks ahead. It’s Daylight Savings and that made me extra hungover. Anybody catch SNL last night? A couple genuine laughs. Maybe it was the booze. We’ll have to further examine that.

So, everyone is arguiong that the shot should not have counted because of a rule ...

From 64 to 1
SportSayers.com — The madness is over. Kansas will be celebrating in Lawrence for many years, since they probably won’t be returning anytime soon (too many people going to the draft). So here is just a quick recap of how the Final Four made it to the grand finale… Kansas Kansas was basically never tested until they reached Davidson. They quickly ran through Portland St., UNLV, and Villanova. But once they go to Davidson, Stephen Curry had other ideas. Stephen Curry had 25 points along with 4 rebounds. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to take the last shot, so I knew then that ...
