Remember when I said not to trust Georgetown?  After watching the first half of their game at Louisville last night, I was completely unimpressed and ready to sit down and type a long diatribe about how they were wildly overrated.  I did the dishes, walked the dogs and came back to find them easily polishing off the Cardinals with a 13-point lead.  They are absolutely maddening, and I don't even care about them.  Meanwhile, the loss hurts Louisville in that it could have essentially wrapped up an at-large.  Now they will have to work hard in the last three games to reclaim their spot on right side of the bubble.

There are two unique kinds of teams that I would like to talk about - Crappy Good Teams and Good Crappy Teams.  Crappy Good Teams have loads of talent, enough to be amongst the top-10 ranked teams in the country, but somehow find ways to lose focus and drop games they have no business dropping.  They make strange mistakes, their coaches make strange coaching decisions, and they always leave you thinking that they could have done more - thus, they are a Crappy Good Team.  The best examples this year are Georgetown (for obvious reasons) UConn (even though Coach Calhoun's health could be a factor for their inconsistency) Tennessee, Texas, and Michigan State.  These are the teams that are in serious danger of not reaching the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament - although they probably don't know that yet.

That brings us to the Good Crappy Team - teams that lack any sort of aesthetic excellence in their playing styles, and ones who always seem to be missing a key ingredient to becoming great.  They are the types of teams who grind out wins and leave the watcher thinking "how did they just do that?"  Some Good Crappy Teams include Virginia Tech (with no player taller than 6'8 and piss-poor outside shooting, they still get the job done), BYU, Butler, Old Dominion and Illinois.  While this group won't get the benefit of the doubt with the selection committee in selection or seeding, they are the type of teams who can pull off second-round shockers over the aforementioned Crappy Good Teams.
