Just a little more basketball
With the last week of Tourney Town upon us -- and thinking about the comments of bias because we ran this photo instead of that and focused on this team instead of that -- I will say this in full disclosure:
We have four graduates of 15-seed Winthrop University in the news department. This is relevant now because Winthrop is scheduled to play Tennessee in the Coliseum in about 15 minutes. None will be involved in the coverage of the game, I assure you.
I'll say now, though, that if Winthrop wins it'll get decent play because a 15-seed beating a 2-seed is a good story. And if Southern makes history and beats Duke? Shoot, that'll make the front page. Of course, a 16-seed has never beaten a 1-seed, but still...

I call it a win for Winthrop on principle. Tennessee should have done so much better, and they barely pulled it out.

This Tennessee grad (and staffer) says a win is a win. Sorry Winthrop!
(This comment is all in good fun. Yours was, too, right Mel?) :-)
