One point eight seconds
made all the difference for
the VCU Rams
How wonderful was
that last jump shot near the paint
which sealed Duke's defeat
For the nation cheered
as ignoble Duke sank down
to obscurity
And through the Southland,
there rose a great, mocking cry:
"Go back to Jersey!"
No. 7 Boston College 84, No. 10 Texas Tech 75
Oh, Boston College
you have done a great service
for basketball fans
Now, you see, we can
ignore Bob Knight's existence
until next time 'round
General principle
demands the wretch suffer for
his silly antics
We're glad you lost, Coach;
now sink back into the muck,
you son of a bitch.
No. 5 Butler 57, No. 12 Old Dominion 46
"Old Dominion" sounds
like a bad aftershave brand
for sale on the cheap
Like bad aftershave,
Old Dominion started strong,
but couldn't hold out
Oh, they seemed so close
to knocking off a five-seed
per long tradition
But the second half
soon showed they were no match for
commonplace Butler.
No. 7 Indiana 70, No. 10 Gonzaga 57
Alas, Gonzaga!
How bright your future once seemed,
how lofty your dreams
They now lie ruined
before proud Indiana
which surged to glory
You were not the same
squad as you were this last year,
when Morrison played;
Do better next time,
for Michigan makes me weep
in the NIT.
