Mike Freeman

The game isn't for hours but the blogging begins early. That's how we roll here at CBSSports.com.

The main blog objectives today:

1. Make fun of Doyel's atrocious haircut which looks like his head got caught in a wood chipper.

2. Blog every important moment of the game including chronicling John Calipari's gyrations.

3. Count the number of times Tyler Spazbrough is called a "hero" or "gritty" or "a gritty hero." The over/under is 912.

4. Sneak in talk about "Battlestar Galatica" the best show on TV since "Cheaters."

5. Document the number of Memphis fans who will say no one respects their team.

Most of all, have fun, and talk a lot of basketball.

Three-plus hours until game time. What do I do first. Hmmm...eat my turkey sandwich with swiss and extra mustard or make fun of Doyel?

So many decisions...
