All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. -Galileo
Public Service Announcement: Here it comes! Here comes the Madness. March Madness. And look at me. Look at me without a team. Me, without a horse in this race. Blue Moon. You saw me standing alone. Without a dream in my heart. Without a love of my own. So sad. I need me a bandwagon. Like my main man Dan Rice. Monkey tastes def when you pour it on ice. Come on y’all it’s time to get nice. I gotta get nice. But with who?
Gotta have a shot to win it all. I love Davidson. I love Stephen Curry. But they don’t have a shot at the big enchilada. Neither does Drake. Can’t be too good either. Can’t be that juggernaut Memphis. That sluggernaut, Memphis. That punch you in your muggernaut, Memphis. Not UCLA. Not the Big Bad Bruins. Not them. No, someone a little more subtle. Not too subtle. I like my jelly to jiggle if I’m not being too subtle.
I’m going with Xavier. The Xavier Musketeers. All for one and one for all. Their jelly jiggles. Jiggle it just a little bit. I wanna see you jiggle it just a little bit. As it grooves. Their jelly just jiggled itself en route to its best season in school history. Their jelly just jiggled itself enroute to its third straight 20-win season and third consecutive NCAA tournament bid. I like these guys. I like these guys because they play defense. Defense wins championships. I like their seniors. I like Drew Lavender. I like Josh Duncan. I like Stanley Burrell. I like them to redeem themselves.
To redeem themselves for the Temple loss this year. To redeem themselves for the most heartbreaking loss in school history one year ago. One year ago when the Musketeers couldn’t close out Ohio State in the second round. Like Marvin Hagler couldn’t close out Sugar Ray in the ninth. One year ago when Justin Cage missed the second of his two free throws in the closing seconds of regulation. One year ago when the Buckeyes made a threecola at the buzzer, then went on to win 78-71 in overtime. This team can do that. They can redeem themselves. They can do it in this here tournament. Six of Xavier’s wins came against NCAA Tournament teams. Five of them out of conference. While a nation is rooting for the Georgia Bulldogs, I’ll be rooting for the other guys. I’ll be rooting for Xavier.
