The most hyped event of the week (besides the Academy Awards) -- was a college basketball game. But -- not just any old c-ball game, the No.1 seed in the country, The unbeaten Memphis Tigers, vs. the No. 2 seed, their bitter rival, The Tennessee Volunteers. In the history of college basketball, this has only happened 38 times, and guess what the verdict was... 19 for No. 1, 19 for No. 2. But this wasn't just some random pairing -- these teams HATE each other. They're in-state rivals, there is bad blood between the coaches, John Calipari (Memphis) & Bruce Pearl (Tennessee). Plus, this is the highest that the Tennessee college basketball program has ever been ranked, as they are typically known as an elite football school. And now they get a shot to dethrone a team with a perfect record, who also happens to be their ARCH-NEMESIS. These things just don't happen. Well, in the end of the game, the Volunteers went on an 8 point run to win the game, and dethrone the No. 1 Memphis Tigers. Just an historic sporting moment for the state. However... they may meet again in March Madness.

Also in college basketball, Indiana coach, Kelvin Sampson, was accused of violating NCAA recruiting laws, placing unsanctioned calls to potential recruits. The NCAA has strict guidelines when it comes to recruiting players. The sensitivity to 'when' you can call a player is of paramount importance, as to give all schools a fair chance in courting future talent. Kelvin Sampson was accused of breaking 5 rules, and was immediately dismissed as head coach of the Indiana Sooners. Some critics say that Indiana should cancel the season, and forfeit their right to play in March Madness. This won't happen, but it's proof that many feel Indiana is playing with an unfair advantage.

Finally, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers got some much needed help for a championship push. They acquired All-Star Center Ben Wallace, and three talented role players in Point-Guard Delonte West, Small Forward Wally Szczerbiak, and Power Forward Joe Smith. LeBron is on fire right now, but has been complaining to management that the Cavs don't have what it takes to win a championship. So, to keep LeBron happy... they brought in a posse.

And, Finally, Finally, Tiger Woods just keep winning. He polished off his 5th win in the Accenture Match Play Championship. He is now ranked in 4th place on the PGA Tour's all time victories list, surpassing Arnold Palmer and only behind Ben Hogan, Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus.
