March Madness Is Here!
Underdogs Morgan State starts an early lead on West Virginia leading by 10 points early in the first-half, 10-0. In NCAA history 15 seeds defeating 2 seeds have happened before and this could be a Cinderella Story for Morgan State.
West Virginia made a come back in the first-half to demolish the Bears lead to take over ending the first-half, 38-27.
Now Morgan will have to step up their perimeter play or try to score more points in the paint. The Bears weakness is scoring around the perimeter and will need focus on making every shot count.
Yesterday night, Ohio State stunned Georgetown defeating the Hoyas,97-83. It's a first NCAA Tournament win for the Bodcats in 27 years.
This is the time to see what college has all the right skills to make it through the tourney.
Get my take on the basketball madness...Find out who's in and who's out. I'll have updates.

Olympian Sven Kramer Sheds Light On Sideline Reporters
How is it possible that a sports reporter could not recognize famous Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer?
On top of that, Kramer won a gold medal on the first day of the Vancouver Olympics. But a local NBC reporter interviewing the Olympian asked him to state his name, country and what event or medals he had won?
Kramer interjected the question by saying, “Are you stupid? Hell no I’m not going to do that,” according, to a Youtube video of the interview.
This is the interjection that should have taken place in thousands of newsrooms that continue to allow reporters with lack of sports knowledge to cover sports. Sideline reporters are supposed to know the craft of the sport as well as the athletes they are covering.
I don’t blame Mr. Kramer for asking the reporter “Are you stupid” because she along with a long list of other sideline reporters are oblivious to their stupidity.
Thanks to Mr. Kramer for calling the reporter’s bluff. He has shed a light on the growing epidemic of dummies in the field.
These reporters shouldn't be allowed to get away with their stupidity. They want the glitz and the glam of being around athletes, but don’t want to take time to study sports or the athletes that complete in the game.
A change is needed or more reporters are going to be asked, “Are you stupid?”
Until, news directors and producers start hiring reporters' with all-around sports knowledge-that’s when sideline reporting will change.
