Illness Benches Pick and Roll

I've been hit with a double-whammy. I have a flaming case of the flu, which is making its rounds through my household, and I've pulled a muscle in my lower back. I'm blessed with severe pain and a 102 degree fever. I'm better this morning, but I will not be at any games tonight. I'm going to miss some good ones. I might be benched for an entire week.

Chris Gregory will be at a game somewhere in the Fifth Region tonight.

Well, Chris informs me that he won't make it to any games tonight. I thought I had my wife talked into going to the Warren Central at Bowling Green game (she has had a crush on Anthony Winchester since he first set foot on The Hill in 2002), but she decided not to go. She's "afraid it will storm on her."

Chris sent me the pairings for the Sweet Sixteen:

2 vs. 11
6 vs. 3
7 vs. 15
9 vs. 5
13 vs. 14
8 vs. 12
1 vs. 4
10 vs. 16

If everything goes as planned, I will be at every one of those games. That will be the season finale for Pick and Roll. That will be 15 games in four days.
