Words escaped and overwhelmed me last night, and there is no easy or adequate way to properly describe what happened while on deadline. We gave it a shot, but I can do better.

And I will.

It’s presently early Saturday morning, but I’m working on something that will require a little of time when I wake up in a few hours. If you don’t mind, use the words of Oklahoma and the words of West Virginia to bide your time until I bring you a far better rendition of what happened.

By the way, what happened?

And what happens now? Might WVU be a win and some help away from a No. 1 seed?

Kansas has one. I think Villanova has one. I also think the Mountaineers can get one with a win and with Virginia and Utah winning the ACC and Pac-12 tournaments. A North Carolina win probably sweeps the Tar Heels and Virginia up into the top of the bracket, and Oregon and Virginia wins probably put them on the top line, too.

I also have a feeling, provided Kansas and Villanova are in and Virginia beats UNC, that the WVU-Oregon-UNC debate is going to be really tricky, and you wonder how much credit the NCAA’s selection committee will give the Big 12 for all it proved and achieved this season.
