Don’t know if you read this anywhere, but there’s some sort of basketball tournament starting tomorrow. Aside from the inherent awesomeness of this being the one of the few times of the year where its socially acceptable to be in a bar, getting messy during work hours, most everyone is looking forward to hearing Gus Johnson scream about basketball.

Here’s a classic video from the end of “The Crying Game.” (SFW)

Of course this was a special moment because we got to see Adam Morrison cry. There’s just something special about somebody with a mustache that wispy crying. At least he looks better nowadays…

…OK. So that official 20-foot poster I saw in Bobcats Arena last weekend doesn’t exactly indicate that Morrison has found a stylist.

Anyway, back to Gus. Thankfully, CBS has had the foresight to send him to Denver which hosts part of the South (Huh?) bracket. (Seriously, did I read that wrong? Somebody get me a map.) In Denver he will get to call games that will surely be shown to the majority of Americans. Via Awful Announcing:

(12) Temple (21-12) vs (5) Michigan State (25-8) 12:20 PM

(13) Oral Roberts (24-8) vs (4) Pittsburgh (26-9) 3:00 PM

(13) Winthrop (22-11) vs (4) Washington State (24-8) 7:20 PM

(12) George Mason (23-10) vs (5) Notre Dame (24-7) 9:50 PM

Personally, I’m just a little disappointed that CBS separated Gus Johnson and Ian Eagle. The energy level would have been out of this world.
