Bobby Petrino is in the hospital with four cracked ribs, a chipped vertebra, sprained neck and multiple contusions, but he’ll probably find a way to watch the NCAA Championship game tonight.

Petrino loves basketball.

On a visit to Wyoming in 2010 friends of his family said Bobby was a very good football player, but a great basketball player.

He has commented on how much he enjoys it.

Unfortunately, for many, especially in the Eastern Time Zone, the game tips off late and runs past bedtime.

Kids on the East Coast may not see much more than the opening tip since the game is 9:23 p.m.

I don’t know how CBS came up with that time, but that’s late for everyone but West Coast if you ask me.

This one though has a little extra going for it as Kentucky and Kansas are the two winningest basketball programs of all time.

Kentucky has 1,907 victories, Kansas 1,897.

In case you were curious, the Razorbacks rank No. 33 with 1,924 wins, but 819 of those came since the arrival of Eddie Sutton and Nolan Richardson.
