2 reason for Hoosiers to watch the sweet 16

In doing my research, I have found 2 reason for all Indiana Hoosiers to watch the sweet 16...

#1 is that fact even though we let this guy get out of our state schools...and I do have a problem with that...but his name is Courtney Lee, I know I don't have to tell you people down on the South End of I-65, in Nap town, because I heard this guy was putting it down at Pike H. S. and he continues to put it down for Western Kentucky.

Lee, senior guard, is riding high after dropping 29 points(9 over his season average), 7 rebounds, 4of 5 from 3 land in 35 minutes against San Diego, I know they aren't UCLA, but his experience should come in to play. He dropped 21 points on Gonzaga, 22 Pt's on Michigan, and 23 points on Tennessee as the #12 seeded Hilltoppers went 1-2 against those teams but all the losses combined totaled 9 points. I really like Western Kentucky's chances, but of course he is going to need the help of fellow Seniors Tyrone Brazelton and Ty Rogers to get the job done against the #1 seed, Pac 10 powerhouse, UCLA.

Game Time 9:40 EST ... in Phoenix, AZ on CBS TV

#2 reason is simply to watch #3 seed Xavier take on #7 West Virginia, because our home grown talented Joe Hughes from Cathedral H.S. in Indy, probably will not be getting much playing time tonight who is averaging less than 1 point a game...and that is ok... he is only a Freshman, so this experience will grow to be valuable for him and rest of his career at Xavier. Xavier is suppose to win this game although Bob Huggins will really crank up that old Big East defense to try to advance to the elite 8.

Of course some of us are a little upset that Xavier knocked out Purdue and ended their party early, after putting Georgia out of their misery... they won those games by a combined total of 19 points so I look for them to advance past UWV...but it will be a tough one.

Game Time: 7:10 EST in Phoenix AZ, also on CBS
