9 - KISS
10 - Masters Tournament

One Direction bested all of college basketball in the heart of “madness” this week, so I think that means tween girls everywhere just won the office bracket pool. The UK boy band crushed the competition, even when all things NCAA were yet again bundled into a single entry. The “Up All Night Tour” will be hitting the shores of North America in late May and continue through July.

One Direction will be performing at #3, the Kid’s Choice Awards, so stateside audiences can enjoy a little preview of the tour. Entry #4 is a nominee, so quite a big night for the Kid’s Choice Awards.

In its final week, the Austin Rodeo slipped to #6. Springsteen returns to #7, and the Derby makes another appearance at #8.

In other, slightly more rock-oriented tour news, KISS is paring up with umlaut aficionados Mötley Crüe on “The Tour.” The two hard rock legends will be filling arenas near you starting in July and finishing up in September.

NCAA Day One Buzzer Beaters

March 18, 2011 By Leave a Comment

There are few greater gifts that the NCAA tournament gives us that the thrill of a buzzer-beating shot. The first day brought us those in spades with a full quarter of the games won on a last-second bucket. Hopefully the second day is filled with the same excitement, but if not, at least we’ll have these to live in posterity (or until YouTube pulls them down!). Let us know your favorite!

Juan Fernandez of 7th seeded Temple hits an off-balanced shot to beat #10 Penn State.

Why yes, he does have enough jump: #4 Kentucky’s Brandon Knight staves off the super-upset by #13 Princeton.

Demonte Harper of the #13 Morehead State puts the dagger in from outside to knock off one of the Big East’s best in #4 Louisville, which might have been the upset of the day.


Matt Howard of #8 Butler follows up a miss to put them over #9 Old Dominion. Is slipper back on the Cinderella team from last year?
