Davis has also written a number of offbeat sports columns for other publications, as he has an unhealthy obsession with all things athletics. It's so unhealthy that he has planned the births of his (future) children around Bowl Season, the Super Bowl, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and the NBA and NFL drafts.

March Madness Day I: Fredette helping his draft stock

After scoring only 8 points in the first half, BYU junior guard Jimmer (his real name is James. Jimmer's a nickname and not a very good one) Fredette has scored 12 in 10 minutes of second half play to give him 20 for the game. His ballhandling has been spectacular, especially on a nice crossover that got him a layup with about 9 minutes left in the game.

Some NBA teams with low first round picks may want to take a look at James. I think he'd make a solid back-up guard (nice handle, can score in bunches, plays defense like a Lady of the Night) for a team like San Antonio, Utah or Orlando.

BYU had a 10-point lead on Florida with 8:30 to go, making it look like picking the Gators may be my first mistake of the day - with several more to come, I'm sure. But the Gators have gone on an 11-2 run to cut the Cougars lead to four with 6 minutes left.

Back and forth. Back and forth.
