Sports: These two NCAA tourney games ruined our bracket last night

first No. 2 Duke lost to No. 3 Villanova, which sucks because we hate Duke and were on the fence.
second No. 2 Memphis, who we had going to the championship game, lost to No. 3 Mizzou. This really sucks. :(

Sports, U.S.: Here’s some attempted NCAA tourney bracket-busters (so far)

close No. 15 Cal State Northridge actually gave highly-regarded No. 2 Memphis a bit of a fight.
close No. 14 American made No. 3 Villanova shake in its boots before Nova recovered.
upset! No. 10 Maryland toppled No. 7 California. The Terps thinly skated into the tourney.

Sports: Cause for debate: Who got screwed by Selection Sunday?

The mis-seeded The whole killer Big East thing came at the cost of at least two killer No. 2 seeds, Duke and Memphis. Both won their conference finals and both are noted programs with long histories. But they only got a 2 seed. WTF, selection committee?
The slighted St. Mary’s, San Diego State and Penn State did pretty good this season yet didn’t make the dance. St. Mary’s only lost six games but were done in by a harsh loss to Gonzaga in their conference final. Now they get the chance for NIT, uh, glory.
The surprisesSyracuse got a fairly high 3 seed after proving its awesomeness in the Big East tourney, and Arizona made its 25th straight tourney despite having a pretty mediocre record. Essentially, Arizona best not run into St. Mary’s in a dark alleyway. source

Music: Instant gratification or big reward? Jay Reatard weighs in

A single is really quick, man. You can get it out, and in two months have it on your merch table. And albums can take a really long time. But when you get done with an album, it’s a lot more fulfilling.
Jay Reatard • in an interview with The Onion A.V. Club about the value of doing albums over singles; the punk rocker is known for doing both really well. • source
