Ugly, ugly, ugly. The beauty that was KU's offense on the first weekend of the tournament took a backseat to desperate, scrambling drives to the basket, butterfingers ballhandling and appallingly bad free throw shooting.

And they still won.

Two quick things before I get to some basketball talk:

1) Some time in the near future every single Wes Craven and John Carpenter movie will be remade. In the past couple of weeks I have read about remakes of Halloween and Escape From New York. And with The Hills Have Eyes 2 out right now you see that it's all inevitable. For some reason this bugs me.

2) Has anybody else seen the TV ad for ESPN fantasy baseball featuring former Phillies star John Kruk doing his best Jack Black impression and Geddy Lee (yes, that Geddy Lee!) doing some vocal work. Totally bizarre.
