Scenes From Day 1
Friday's A.M. Hot Clicks
Day 1 is in the books, and here is what you missed: North Dakota State upset Oklahoma and celebrated with a locker room dance-off ... Aaron Craft's college career ended after Ohio State's loss to Dayton, but he'll live forever in meme form. Dayton, meanwhile, needs to work on its moshing skills ... Michigan breezed by Wofford, with game MVP honors going to a ladder ... Cincinnati picked up the rare "forgot-to-put-player's-name-in-scorebook" technical foul during its loss to Harvard ... Texas knocked out Arizona State on a last-second buzzer-beater, which gave us another great tourney meme - the depressed Sun Devils bench. If you want to skip all that and read a smart, analytical review of Day 1, Luke Winn has you covered.
The Happiest Student Body
Forget the tournament teams. Wake Forest students were euphoric yesterday after the school fired men's basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik. Not sure if it was the anti-Bzdelik billboards hanging along Interstate 40 in Winston-Salem or his 51-76 record, but the coach is gone and the students celebrated with toilet paper.

If you've spent 11 seconds on the internet in the past couple of years, you've probably seen Paulina Gretzky strutting around in a bikini, but did you know that Wayne has more than one child? In fact, he has five children, and one of them (Trevor) is a minor league outfielder who was traded from the Cubs to the Angels yesterday in exchange for Mike Scioscia's son, Matt.
Don't You Want Me Baby?
Scottish soccer club Aberdeen won its first Scottish League cup in almost 20 years, and fans celebrated the team's most popular player, Peter Pawlett, in song. They took Human League’s Don’t You Want Me and replaced the "Don't you want me, baby" lyric with “Peter Pawlett, Baby” to create the newest crowd anthem. And nobody is more excited about this than Human League, as their 33-year-old song is currently No. 4 on the UK charts.
