Tuesday night on TV Kentucky’s two collegiate men’s basketball teams – the University of Kentucky’s Wildcats in the National Invitational Tournament – playing in their old on-campus gym in Lexington – and the Morehead State Eagles – playing in the NCAA “March Madness” play-in game vs. Alabama State – up the road in Dayton – both won. (KY fans, however, aren’t much impressed with their team being in the NIT, and the Eagles face the misfortune of facing cross-state rival and #1 seed Louisville Friday night – a team that beat them by 20 plus points earlier in the season.
And – improving greatly on last week’s uneven Michael Jackson night – "American Idol"’s remaining Top 11 contestants generally acquitted themselves well on country night, a theme that has produced some atrocious performances in past years. I thought every single performance I watched – most of them – was solid, and some people – like last week’s mediocre Anoop Desai (pictured above with Tuesday’s song, Willie Nelson’s “Always on My Mind”) – were much improved. Most memorable again was Adam Lambert, with a wild version of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” that was too out ther for some of the judges. Not an easy choice, trying to decide who to boot (and boot off the summer "Idol" tour, which only includes 10 performers.)
