It was just a few days ago -- a mere eyeblink in the vast march of millennia -- that the Blob wrote this about the zany madcappery that is college hoops so far this year:
Your new No. 1 team, by the way, is Kansas. The Jayhawks haven't lost since Nov. 5, when Duke beat them by two in the first game of the season. Saturday they're at No. 18 Villanova; their next home game is against unranked Stanford on Dec. 29.
Can't be sure, because the Blob's hearing isn't what it used to be. But I think the basketball gods just chuckled.
Well ... cue the chuckling. This just in from Saturday afternoon: Villanova 56, Kansas 55.
To quote Old Lodgeskins in "Little Big Man", vis-à-vis the Blob's powers of second sight: Sometimes the magic works. Sometimes it doesn't.
