huh?

The main paper back home, Raleigh's News and Observer, usually includes a sports column penned by Caulton Tudor. Because he's not biased towards UNC, it is difficult for me to entirely appreciate Tudor's columns.

Tudor's presence on the sports page is as the sort-of wise man of the block; reading him is like reading George Will. This is fine when he's writing positively about the heels, but is incomprehensible when otherwise...why would the wise man give grief to Carolina?

In any event, after talking about the interestingness of Roy Williams facing off against Kansas this weekend, he ends the column with the claim, I think, that Davidson's go in the tourney was the premier story this year. I don't follow.

The real story of the 2008 NCAA Tournament ended Sunday when the Jayhawks defeated Davidson, allowing all four regional No. 1 seeds to reach a Final Four for the first time.

Williams, Self, Memphis coach John Calipari and UCLA's Ben Howland for the next few days will extensively address the merits of their teams. But regardless of which school is still standing next Monday, the biggest winner of this tournament will be the little team from the Charlotte suburbs.

Maybe I missed something; if not, this is the kind of skipping stone logic that wise elder columnists like Tudor, and Will, are prone to employ I suppose...leaving us mortals scratching the head.
