'Mismatched'
Cleveland team
takes on world
Quote of the week: "Life happens
loo fust for you ever to think about it. If
von could just persuade people of this,
hut they insist on amassing informa
lin." ' Kurt Vonnetfut
Worst team In the NCAA tour
nament: Montana State. Honorable
Mention: Prexel, Marist, and Texas
Tech.
Worst mismatch in the first
round: Cleveland State vs. Indiana.
I'pon learning that his team would be
playing Indiana, Cleveland State coach
Kevin Mackey said, "They want to get
rid of us early." Yes folks, it's Cleveland
Stat e against the world. (The world is a
prohibitive favorite, by the way.)
The Vikings (whoever heard of a
Viking in Cleveland? Joe Kapp wouldn't
be caught dead there like to run
and gun and play a full-court press.
Listen? Hear that? It's Indiana shaking
in their boots. Steve Alford will break
that press as easily as I broke my leg.
Goodwin's
Bad Ones
One more thing about Cleveland
State. How can you take any team
seriously that comes from something
called the Association of Mid-Continent
Universities? Actually, it's theAMCU 8,
that being, in the words of the Cleve
land State media guide, a "more
athletic sounding name."
Come on now. This league has it's
headquarters in Green Bay and its
postseason tournament in Springfield,
Mo. We all know what a sports mecca
Springfield is, don't we?
Act ually, Duke vs Mississippi Valley
State is the biggest mismatch of the
tournament probably the biggest
since Poland went up against Germany.
But I didn't bet on that game.
For college basketball fans, this is a
jireat weekend (and even if you're not a
college basketball fan it can still be a
great weekend, since St. Pat's Day is
only three days away).
A lot of you out there probably are
reading this in your Sociology 153 class
(or the bathroom) and wishing you
could watch those games on ESPN.
Well, then do it. I mean don't skip a
test or anything, but short of that, feel
free to enjoy those games. Hey, your
professors would if they could, some of
them, at least.
For what it's worth, I pick North
Carolina to win the NCAA tournament,
but almost anyone except for Nebraska
and Cleveland State could take it.
People sometimes ask me what
makes me an expert on this stuff. It
reminds me a little of "The Wizard of
Oz."
"I want to be a sportswriter," says
the overweight, cigar-chomping man.
"Back where I come from," says the
Wizard,"we have people like you who
sit on barstools all day and talk about
nothing but sports. They call them
sportswriters but they have something
you don't have press guides. They don't
tell you anything about basketball or
football but they do tell you about the
players. So you know that some obscure
reserve guard for Dayton likes to eat
seafood. That's not important unless
you actually meet him someday but if
you should run into him at a cocktail
party you'll have something to talk
about. Which is what college is all
about preparingyou to makeyourway
in the Cocktail Party Of Life."
So there you have it friends - the key
to sportswriting. And you read it here
first.
The Pros
1. New York Knicks. They weren't very
good with Patrick Ewing. Without him .
2. Indiana Pacers. The Pacers were on
CBS last Sunday. At CBS they call it
Freddie Silverman's Revenge.
3. Phoenix.
4. Ft. Wayne Pistons.
5. Baltimore Bullets.
6. Syracuse Nationals.
7. Philadelphia Warriors.
8. Chicago Zephers.
