March Madness

This NCAA tournament has been nothing short of entertaining, with last second wins, big upsets and unbelievable plays. Although just about everyones bracket has been completely destroyed, there is no doubting that this tournament is probably the most entertaining month of sports. 

Even though my bracket has been pretty brutalized like everyone else's I do want to talk about what I think will happen in the rest of the tournament.

First of all lets start in the east:

We have (1)Ohio State vs (4)Kentucky and (11)Marquette vs (2)North Carolina.

I believe that Ohio State will beat kentucky. They have way to much fire power. There is a reason why they are the number 1 over all seed, they are big, fast and can shoot teams out of the gym. They have proved that by winning their last 2 games by an average of 30+ points. Next I think that Marquette will continue their run by taking out the North Carolina Tar heels. With smart inside play and good coaching they have managed to take down 2 very talented teams in Xavier and Syracuse, both which play very similarly to North Carolina. 

That leaves us with the (1) vs (11) seed. As much as I would love to choose Marquette, I cannot see Ohio state loosing to a team that can match up so well with them inside.

Next we will go with the West:

We have (1) Duke vs (5) Arizona and (3) Uconn and (2) San Diego State.

I believe that Arizona will take out the number 1 seed Duke blue devils. They have been playing very well as a team, and with duke coming off a very unimpressive "win" over a pretty week Michigan team, they have a lot to prove. Next I think that Uconn will take out San Diego State. Uconn has the 3 things i look for when i look for a championship team. 1. good coach who has been there before. 2. good inside players and 3. a player that can make the clutch shots (Kemba Walker) this player is by far the most amazing player in the tournament and can take over a game. For this reason I think that Uconn will go on to beat Arizona and make the final four.

Next is the South West:

This section gives us the (1) Kansas v (12) Richmond and (11) VCU vs (10) Florida State.

This section has been by far the most entertaining. Unfortunately i think the run for the (12)Richmond spiders (who i called to pull up the upset over the (5) vanderbilt team) will lose. Kansas is a very good team and with the brother connection it is hard to see them losing to anyone soon. Next I think that VCU will continue their amazing run by beating florida st, unfortunately this is where it will end. Kansas is too strong and will make it to yet another final four.

Finally is the South East.

We have (8) Butler vs (4) Wisconsin and (3) BYU vs (2) florida.

I think we will see Butler beat Wisconsin. They have somehow found a new gear once the tournament started, with 2 close wins over Old Dominion and Pittsburgh. I also think that florida will knock out BYU. Although BYU has looked strong i think that florida has too much size and is simply too deep for BYU to keep up with.

With Butler v Florida i think florida will edge out butler. Again i think that the size of florida will be their key.

Let me know what you think...agree dissagree. I'll write again soon to let you know what I think for the final 4.
