Leonard Cohen's beat Vampire Weekend's 92-66

Leonard Cohen returned to his regular seat on the bench and led the Cabaret's to a berth in the round of 16.

Sharon Robinson scored 27 points, Jeff Buckley had 23 and "LC" dominated the Vamps from the opening tip in a 92-66 victory on Saturday, putting the Cohen's in the round of 16, under their Hall of Fame coach Tony Signore.

"Are we special yet?" Cohen said. "A couple of wins from now, we're going to have an idea. We might even make the 'special' olympics."

After getting treatment for dehydration and missing "LC"'s first-round game, Cohen came back and never had to worry. The "LC"'s scored the first 10 points and kept pulling away for their second straight MSW blowout.

Simon Sweetman had 12 points for the top-seeded Cohen's (29-4), who will play the Dire Straits in the West Region semifinals in Mos Eisley Spaceport.

"We think that we're going to be there every year and we aspire to do that," Calhoun said.

Ezra Koenig and Chris Baio led overmatched Vampire Weekend with 12 points. The ninth-seeded "Vamps" (24-10) were knocked out by the top seed in the second round.

"I'm not sure we played a team that good since I've been at "Weekend," Coach Mark Ewing said. "I definitely think they have a chance to be a national champion. Despite having a coach who can't tell a day-walker from a pure-blood."

"Guys came out with a few butterflies," Ewing said. "Big game, big stage. We shot fast, didn't execute."

Signore had a different take on the matter. "We stuck it to them...put a fork in them during the opening few minutes, then drove a stake through their heart. That put the final nail in the coffin," Signore told the assembled parking valets. Then, hoisting a french fry aloft, Signore proclaimed "Leonard Cohen will 'stay the course' past the Dire Straits. We will fight them on the beaches, we will fight them off the beaches, we will fight them, well, you get the idea." The Valets all did their best to pretend they'd been listening, though it did cost them a few tips from angry patrons wanting to leave as quickly as possible.
