Good Night

Oh, the basketball landscape is changing everyday, in every possible way. Though my dreams, it's never quite as it seems, and all these teams fade into the ether, perhaps haunted by the ear-splitting vocal histrionics of Dolores O'Riordan as they disappear. Good night, Southern Utah and Valparaiso and Boston University and UMBC and Loyola and Quinnipiac. Sweet dreams to Nicholls State, Texas-San Antonio, Texas State and Central Arkansas, who didn't qualify for the Southland tourney. Good night to American and Army, to San Diego and to both Mount Saint Mary's and Saint Mary's. You've all been dreams to me, dreams to me.
