"Now go home and get your shine box"

The Betting Fool sticks it to the tourney pickers and whining coaches. I love these:

"This is nothing close to the best 64 teams in the country. It's the best 45-50, and 15-20 that have no chance. Please, spare me the plucky underdog stories and how charming it is and how it's the spirit of the tourney and how you loved Mary Poppins when she went for umbrella rides."

...and...

"...you'll play the best teams in the country in the tournament. Does it matter from which seed you beat them? Now go home and get your shine box!"

Well said...this is exactly why the Lou repeatedly give Lute Olsen the "Visine Award"...how many times did he get apoplectic that Arizona got a 2 seed rather than a 1 seed, only to then have the Wildcats go down in ignominious defeat in the second round - it happened a lot and Lute didn't endear himself to anyone.
