Much like a junkie, my drug of choice has kept me going the last four days...for nearly every waking moment, I've been either watching basketball, reading about it, talking about it or writing about it. Now I'm in a desert...a barren, desolate place and my thirst just can't be quenched.
No WBC game or spring training will fill this void as I fight the shakes and rock myself to sleep in the corner of a dark room.I've watched with friends at party-like atmospheres...and in my depths, I've watched by myself, late at night on the small screen of my computer...and even now, after watching parts of at least 49 games in the last 6 days, I still want more.
Thank God Thursday is just days away, and our Boilers are still in the conversation...they tip-off at 7:07, Eastern.

Chin up Dowd-- Thursday's just around the corner. In the meantime, to slake your basketball jones, there's still the NIT, plus these bizarre "new" tournaments, The CollegeInsider.com and CBI (a tournament that shamefully invites sub-.500 teams to compete in the postseason). It's sort of like craving a T-bone, and getting an A&W burger, but it'll have to do. Actually the NIT's UK vs. Creighton and Davidson vs. St. Mary's NIT games look like decent enough contests... Boiler Up!
I've tried those others...they leave me feeling empty and ashamed.
I know what you want in your depths.
