Welcome Back

Hardly Workin is back on the air and it feels great especially since i've started to catch some march madness fever. The CAA tournament is one of the more underrated tournaments in the mid-major country. Great crowds, great action and good rivalries. The Mason-VCU final tomorrow will be outstanding. I feel like the Rams will come out on top because they can't let Eric Maynor's senior year be sullied by an NIT bid. VCU's defense as of late has been out of this world and the tired Patriots had way too many mental lapses. Rams take it 67-60.

The Spiders are going into the A-10 tourney with a ton of momentum. I'm feeling at least one victory with a good chance for two. Richmond's bigs are going to be the key. We know that the Spiders guards will score and we've seen games where Martel/Gonzo/KA have carried the team to a victory but it's the bigs who will need to contribute as well. Rhode Island's guards are good, Dayton's are underrated. Spiders get two wins but bow out in a close one in the Semi's.

Would you call me crazy if I said UVA had a better chance of winning their first round game then the Hokies do? I know about the crazy stretch Va Tech has had but UVA is "hot" right now. You never know where the points are gonna come from outside of Sylven but the Hoos are playing with house money. There's even a projection out there the Hoos make the CollegeInsider.com tournament. Meanwhile the Hokies big 3 have struggled mightily lately. They will be playing a desperate Canes team in the 1st round and will need Delaney, Vassallo and Allen to step up big to prevent Miami from gettin back on the bubble.

March Madness is alive and well and soon before we know it, it will be baseball season.
