Overtime Thoughts 3/23

I added a section on the right hand side where you will be able to listen to past broadcasts of The Overtime Show. They're not great quality, but they're the best we can do for now. Hopefully podcasts on iTunes will be soon...I still have to figure that out.

The Kentucky Wildcats were in action today in the 2nd round of the NIT. They played the #1 seed Creighton from the Missouri Valley Conference. UK won 65-63 as they won it with a Jodie Meeks 2-pointer with about 10 seconds left. They will now travel to South Bend to face Notre Dame.

Pat Forde points out in an article on ESPN.com that the tournament has lacked a cinderella this year. It is the first time ever where all the 1, 2, and 3 seeds have made the Sweet Sixteen and only 3 teams still in have not made a Final Four. Of all years, I would have thought this year would a year where upsets would be abundant considering the way the regular season went, but it has been anything but. He also goes on to say that if Arizona, a team with a national title, 4 final fours, and 25 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, is the biggest surprise then something's different.

Curt Schilling retired today. He finished his career with a 216-146 record and a 3.46 ERA. He also is 15th all-time in strikeouts with 3,116. He owns the lowest postseason ERA and winning percentage in the history of ML baseball. He won 3 World Series titles in his career. Schilling is also the subject of our poll tonight.

And in a shocker, Terrell Owens missed a voluntary workout today for his new team, the Buffalo Bills.
