Here's a selection of some of the other better lines we received this week:
"You want to see real March Madness...just step on a couple of refineries."
"Monster dunks are great but Charlotte could use a few Bank shots right about now!"
“I knew they were talking about expanding the bracket to monstrous proportions but this is ridiculous.”
"You'll never do more damage to basketball in Charlotte than George Shinn."
"You'll have to play somewhere else. There's not enough room in here."
"White dinosaurs can't jump."
"Remember the Lynx is something to ride on, not to eat."
"Even you couldn’t help Duke win right now.”
"If you drop your shoulder the refs will always call charging, same thing if you roast the guy...."
"I'm afraid the arena planners didn't foresee a tournament of this size!"
"I don't know which is the bigger myth, you or the idea that Sean May will ever play."
""Okay.....okay....I'll call you Tyler!"
"I was afraid something like this might happen when they built the arena downtown."
Please join us again Monday, March 24, for a new cartoon caption challenge.

The man is a genius. Finally an intelligent entry. Thank you Mr. Hayes. I had almost decided to quit following this contest.
