Today was the first full day of conference tournament play for all of the major conferences and it provided a number of important games. Here are some thoughts from the key games on a day in which bubble teams didn't help their case.

Air Force's Jeff Bzdelik takes over Colorado job

Fri, 06 Apr 2007 07:28:52 -0500

Jeff Bzdelik just took his third job in the state of Colorado in about as many years, leaving the Air Force Academy and taking over at Colorado. He led the Falcons to a 24-7 record while barely missing the NCAA Tourney (wrongly in my opinion) and took them to the NIT Semifinals. The new Buffaloes head coach had led the Denver Nuggets for 2.5 years, taking them to the playoffs in 2004, until he was fired (wrongfully so if you ask me). Then took over the Academy, and now will try to revitalize a program that is really falling apart. There is little to no support for the team, and they must compete in the brutal Big 12 with Texas, Kansas, and Texas Tech to name a few. Will he succeed? Nobody knows but he wants to try, and that seems to be his trademark over the past couple of years.

Wojo wants to lead Colorado

Former Duke point guard Steve Wojciechowski has expressed interest in the Colorado coaching vacancy that will open up in the off-season. He would be the youngest coach in the league and has no head coaching experience to work with. Historically, Duke assistants have not fared well once they take over other programs, although Quinn Snyder at Missouri had some success until he flopped once they became a respectable program. At this point, it is probably all speculation.

The Most Embarrassing NON-Dunk Ever?

Perhaps one of the FUNNIEST bball clips I've ever seen. If this happened to me, I'd join the witness protection program and disappear off the face of the earth. But since he's not, enjoy Julian Wright (http://kuathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/wright_julian00.html) making the worst dunk of all time.
