353% -—I , Darkhorses Ra redya to gin Cajuns and flops One of the local staples of March is when News St Observer sports columnist Caulton Tudor pens his annual NCAA Tournament analy— sis column. Along with the original “Rim Shots,” which was a short— lived weekly humor column covering ACC basketball in the mid-19903, Andrew B. Tudor’s NCAA Carter piece is my DeputySports Editor favorite local newspaper literature. The basic format of the analysis is classic, with such headings as “Going sweet,” “Darkhorse,” and, everyone’s favorite, “Might flop.” Funny thing was that every time I used Tudor’s analysis as a guide, it’d be me flopping in a tourna- ment pool. Since I’ve received death threats over my last column, I figure my chances to emulate the venerable Tudor are limited -- at any moment my bodyguards could succumb to the torch—Wielding, stone—throwing angry mob that protests my existence daily. That’s one motivation for this cheap imitation. The other is the fact that Tudor was robbed of his space this year, getting to write only a measly paragraph about each region. Apparently tradition means nothing. Who’s going sweet? What about the darkhorses? Can I get a sentimental favorite? No, you can’t. Not this year. But you will get this: a shoddy, second— rate analysis from yours truly.
