I watched Texas Tech yesterday

Of the major college teams that one may have the least amount of talent as anyoune in this tournament.

That's one of the best things you can say about Bob Knight. He'll take a team that is very limited in talent and get the absolute most out of them.

Watching that game yesterday showed me why Bob Knight is the all-time winningest coach. His team played its heart out. All of his teams play their hearts out. He is a master at getting the most from his players.

Tech is getting in the tournament with some regularity now. Knight's program is not Texas or Kansas. And I mean this as a credit to Bob Knight. With a limited talent pool, Bob Knight's Tech teams have acheived quite a bit.

...The worst game of the day, without question was Indiana and Gonzaga. I watched that game and couldn't believe how slow paced that game was. I watched these two teams and I'm telling you that there were stretches in that game where one team could have left the floor and the other one would still not have scored.

...You know about the Texas kids playing all over the country. Texas kids are sprinkled on teams everywhere. Even Penn had a kid from Jesuit. This state has tons of basketball talent.

...A&M/Louisville will have a hell of a basketball game. Make your plans and get ready for tire irons at two feet. This is going to be a fun game to watch.

...You know your team's in tough shape when you're watching the game and you're a fan of George Washington who is behind by 29 in the first half. How do you get behind by 29 in the first half? You almost have to try to do that.

..Butler wins 56-47 and has a 17 point run. How do you win a game 56-47 and include a 17 point run?

...Rick Pitino comes out yesterday and suggests increasing the tournament field to 96 teams. Come on, Rick. You are smarter than this. I'm sorry 65 is enough. If you're not one of the top 65 teams in the country you pretty much don't belong.

...Today, players you want to watch that you may not have seen yet this year:

--Chris Lofton--Tennessee

--Nate Bunk--Creighton

--Aaron Nixon--Long Beach

--Jamar Wilson--Albany
