The Revolving Door in the College Basketball Arena moved rapidly today as three coaches associated with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats found new positions within the same day.

First, "The Big Guy," Bob Huggins, accepted an offer to become the head coach at Kansas State. The press conference began at around 5 pm ET in Manhattan, KS, just one hour before the Bearcats took the court to play South Carolina in the Elite Eight round of the NIT.

Not long after Huggins' conference, I learned that two Bearcat seniors were ineligible: Jihad Muhammad and James White - which helped conrtibute to their loss, 65-62 in the NIT.

Just after that game, interim coach and former UC assistant under Huggins Andy Kennedy accepted the job at Ole Miss.

And after that, former UC assistant under Huggins, Louisville assistant to Rick Pitino, and head coach at Murray State, Mick Cronin, was given the head job in Cincinnati. Cronin is a Cincinnati native, a graduate of La Salle High School.

And beyond Cincinnati, there was NCAA action in the 'Sweet 16' round. #1 Duke and J.J. Redick lost to Glenn "Big Baby" Davis and #4 LSU, 62-54. My YTMND site. The madness simply moved south to Altanta.
And my bracket is officially, fudged, as I picked Duke to win it all.

In Oakland, Memphis beat Bradley 80-64. WKRC-TV channel 12's Brad Johansen's alma mater had a great run, but Memphis was seeded #1 for a reason, so SOMETHING was normal tonight.

Back at the Georgia Dome, West Virginia played Texas, another close one. Just after WVU's Kevin Pittsnogle tied it up with a 3-point 71 apiece with seconds to go in the game, Texas decided to end the suspense by answering with their own 3-pointer at the buzzer. The game went to the Longhorns 74-71; at least I picked Texas in this one.

It would only heat up back in Oakland. UCLA, whom Dick Vitale picked to win the Oakland bracket, defeated Gonzaga 73-71. Another Final Four team on my bracket is out, and we see a sad Adam Morrison laying on the floor at the game's end.

In High School, despite the suspension of star O.J. Mayo, North College Hill won their state semifinal against Archibold in Columbus today, 49-34. Lockland lost to South Webster though, 61-58.

I think I'm done, and tomorrow, I might have enough energy to talk Busch Stadium.

Then again, there are more games tomorrow...
