1. As I've said many times, the Palestra is the greatest venue in college basketball. Were I the czar of college hoops, at least one out of five Final Fours would be played there.
2. I'm not always the biggest fan of Ed Rendell's politics. That said, any governor who chooses to spend part of his Friday night taking in Penn-Yale is alright by me.
3. From The Things I Never Thought I'd See Department: Penn is 0-5 at home in Ivy League play. That is completely without modern precedent.
4. With Harvard sitting near the bottom of the Ivy standings, people in the Ancient Eight are learning something folks in the Big East and Big Ten already knew. Tommy Amaker is awful.
5. The Eagles better have a really, really good '09 season. Otherwise, the natives are going to torch the city over the decision to let Brian Dawkins walk.
6. No city in America does a better job of finding female anchors than TCOBL. It's like getting one's news from the staff at the Spearmint Rhino.
7. If you want to get really depressed about the state of the economy, come to Philadelphia. Good financial news is as rare around here as lowfat cheesesteaks.
8. Sitting in the media room at a college hoops game in Philadelphia is the equivalent in sitting in on a doctoral level course on the game. Tomorrow's Villanova-G'Town game will be the best lecture of said course.
9. The 76er fans have a new goat: Elton Brand. I have yet to talk to a Philly fan who hasn't bashed that signing.
10. The consensus among the hoops cognescenti here is that Temple must win at Dayton tomorrow to think about getting an at large bid. A loss makes winning the A-10 tournament the only route to the 'AAs.
