I love how VCU plays defense, John — they’re constantly flying around all over the place. But on the other side of the court, that same frenetic abandon gives their offense a loose-cannon feel, prone to stretches of ineffectiveness. I think the Butler will do it.

Speaking of bad puns, is there another college team aside from the UConn Huskies whose nickname is based on a pun? I’ll take Connetcicut, under the assumption that they force Brandon Knight to beat them by going to his left.

I’ll also take Dan’s rotisserie team in a laugher, as long as Mark Teixeira keeps up this three-run-dinger pace.
