		<title>I Pity the Fool</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I was playing a game of pickup at my local gym, guarded by a friendly acquaintance named Ray. Early on, I pulled up for a mid-range jumper against his lax defense, and upon release of the ball he yelled &#8220;NOPE&#8221; with smug assurance that I would miss.

		<description><![CDATA[The NCAA is always looking for ways to expand it&#8217;s cash cow&#8211; the NCAA Men&#8217;s Basketball Tournament.   After all, over 95% of the total revenue for the organization&#8217;s governing body comes from the broadcast rights to this exciting tournament.  It&#8217;s hard to blame them for trying to get every last nickel out of it if [...]]]></description>

		<title>NBA Playoff Predictions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eastern Conference
Cavaliers vs Bulls: Cavs in 4. Not much to be said.
Magic vs Bobcats: Magic in 5. Charlotte is very tough at home, so I don&#8217;t think they&#8217;ll be swept. But they really have no answer for Dwight.
Hawks vs Bucks: Hawks in 5. This would have been interesting had Andrew Bogut not gotten injured. Milwaukee [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Hate Duke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone either loves or hates Duke &#8211; there just can&#8217;t be neutrality &#8211; and there has been considerable talk this week concerning the reasons for both.
I am a Duke hater for my own personal set of reasons, and I feel like making them known to the world.

		<title>Friday&#8217;s Picks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday may have been the best day in the history of the NCAA Tournament. Real talk, I&#8217;m not exaggerating.
There were 4 last second shots to win (Murray State, Northern Iowa, Washington, and Wake Forest), 3 overtime games (BYU, Villanova, and Wake Forest), a 15 seed coming oh so close to beating a 2 (Robert Morris [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Picks for Today&#8217;s Games</title>
		<description><![CDATA[10 Florida vs. 7 BYU: The Cougars have sustained excellence throughout the season, both at home and on the road, whereas the Gators have been very inconsistent. They&#8217;ve been more down than up over the past month, and BYU&#8217;s offensive efficiency will continue that trend. BYU by 11.
11 Old Dominion vs. 6 Notre Dame: The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cal Basketball</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend I had the privilege of visiting my little sister at UC Berkeley, known in the sports world as Cal. The trip was alternately fun, delicious, stressful, and gratifying, and one major aspect was my immersion in the school&#8217;s basketball culture.
