The Spike and Luke Show: Redux
It was the best game of the worst season.
That’s one of the ways we’ll remember the 2013 NCAA championship game. All year, we’d heard that college basketball was in crisis. “College basketball stinks,” wrote Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. ESPN’s Jay Bilas told the Associated Press, “Our game is brutal to watch right now.” Scoring was down. The star power was gone. Coaching had become too conservative. The referees were letting the games get too physical.
Then, in the final game of the season, there at the Georgia Dome, we saw one of the finest title games in years. It was free-flowing and high-scoring, low on turnovers and rife with scoring runs. As much as anything else, it was a showcase for two bench players who became stars. The night belonged to Spike Albrecht, the tiny Michigan freshman, at least until it belonged to Luke Hancock, the sweet-shooting Louisville junior.

Revisiting Beyoncé: Could 'Jealous' Be Its Most Important Song?
Across her solo albums, a few recurring themes have shown up: the empowerment that comes with being a strong, independent woman, and the fulfillment that comes with love and marriage (and now, motherhood). At times, these two themes have appeared at odds—like when she was criticized for calling her tour the Mrs. Carter Show, as if she couldn’t adopt her husband’s last name (officially, she is Beyoncé Knowles-Carter) and still be a feminist—but “Jealous” excels at exploring the tension between these ideas creatively. When she’s making a meal naked in her penthouse, Beyoncé seems pretty excited about playing up the role of the wife in the kitchen, but the moment it goes wrong—when she’s all alone with the dinner she slaved over—that same role she embraced can turn and feel oppressive. “Sometimes I want to walk in your shoes, do the type of things I never ever do,” she sings after the chorus. “I take one look in the mirror, and I say to myself, 'Baby girl, you can’t survive like this.'”
Clearly we need a faster rapper. To get a feel for the world’s fastest lyricists, we turned to Rap Genius. If that name sounds familiar to you, it’s because the Rap Genius guys revealed the inner workings of rappers’ minds through charts. By compiling an enormous database of rap lyrics, they were able to compare rappers’ word choice over time, revealing, for example, that “cash” was more important than “girls” in the late 1990s.
