The South (Alderaan) Bracket had a few surprises, with some old favorites showing their fans that they're not through yet.
The #1 seeded Neko Case blew The Crayolas' off the court in a 101-58 mechanical victory. They'll be taking on The Los Lonely Boys, who jumped out to an early lead, then held off The Ringo Starrs for a 75-71 win. This should be a stroll in the park for Signore's all-star(r) squad.PREDICTION: The Neko Case 97, The Los(e) Lonely Boys' 70
The Willie Nelson was smokin' (but later acquitted) in their 76-72 upset of #5 seeded The Kings Of Leon. Meanwhile, The Jenny Lewis had a 31-6 2nd half outburst that helped them cruise to a 77-64 conquest of The Duffy. As Nelson, while conducting research on seabirds, once vowed to "Leave no tern unstoned", The Lewis seem to have their mind on one thing...how to handle the Neko Case. That could work to their disadvantage, but I think looking two games ahead is actually prudent in this "case".PREDICTION: The Jenny Lewis' 78, The Willie Nelson's 70
In an anticipated matchup, The Lucinda Williams, who shot 51% in their win over A. Escovedo, are getting ready to tangle with The Blind Boys of Alabama, who jumped out to an early lead, but seemed to have trouble seeing the hoop later in their opening round victory over The Sinatra 59-44.PREDICTION: The Lucinda Williams' 69, The Blind Boys of Alabama's 50
The Bruce Springsteen led throughout their 62-59 win over The Mark Knopfler's. As Signore fumed about the "Glory Days" of Knopfler-ball, The E-Streets, led by Steve Van Zandt, held off a rally to advance to the next round. They'll be tangling with The Rilo Kiley, who put on a shooting exhibition against The Tom Jones' in an 82-54 smashing.PREDICTION: The Rilo Kiley's 85, The Bruce Springsteen's 61
