Selection Sunday!!! As you know (or you should know), the bracketologists finalized the bracket for the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. I really thought Memphis was going to get the last number 1 seed, instead of Connecticut...but they'll beat them in the Elite 8 anyway. I'm also a little ticked that St. Mary's didn't make the tournament...Patty Mills is back and I think they would have been a good sleeper team to pick. Davidson is just upsetting this season too...
I'm not a fan of Hasheem Thabeet for some reason. I don't think he's that good for being 7'3...he's not as good as Yao Ming and NBAdraft.net compares him to Dikembe Mutombo.
Here's a printable bracket for all of you that are looking for one:

My roommates and I do a bracket every year and this year should be another good one. Of course this time, I'm winning.
I'm calling it right now...UNC is going all the way. Mark my word.
(Obama's on their side too!)
Enjoy March and I'll keep you updated with the Madness!

i would like to see more about the pros of cross species sex and why it should be on prime time tv
ReplyDeleteDon't be hating on UConn.
ReplyDeleteSt. Mary's should be in the tournament but I feel as Arizona should rightfully be in before them. Thabeet is good for what he is -- a defensive presence. Don't forget that Mutombo was an All-Star in his prime so I don't know if thats such a bad comparison.
ReplyDeleteBritt says:Well you know I am not a fan of Obama, but hey if he is with UNC then sweet! But I have to be honest with you. Even though I am a follower of UNC and would love for them to have another championship for Roy, they may have it rough when Pittsburgh decides to step it up. Fields is a phenominal point guard and has shown he can defeat some injuries and really play tough and love the game. There have been plenty of upsets this year. I was extremely disappointed that Davidson did not make it to the tourney at all. And Penn State? That was a shocker too. But hey at least we have Temple and Nova playing. Jay Wright really knows how to take a program over and create stars. Diante Christmas also will shine hopefully past their first game. He is definitely a potential for the Draft. Good luck to UNC but I am pulling for Fields and Pitt!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right Wale...Mutombo was an All-Star and he was good in his prime. Thabeet's a good player, I just don't give in to him. And I am glad Arizona made it...I like Chase!
ReplyDeleteBritt - Yeah, Penn State was definitely snubbed. I got Temple upsetting Arizona State in the first round.
Britt: I did not see ASU play all year, but I have to support Temple no matter what. We'll see on Thursday who brings what to the table!
ReplyDeleteWhy all the hate on UConn man? They're winning it all, and UNC is losing to Cuse in the Elite 8, especially if Lawson is hurt.
ReplyDeletei don't watch basketball so how about some phillies pre season stuff or a little flyers piece maybe
ReplyDeletei think the guy who mentioned cross species sex was on to something
ReplyDeleteit's been a great tourney so far - how's your bracket doing? I'm in decent shape. I've only lost 2 sweet 16 teams and all my elite 8 teams are in tact. enjoy the final 2 months or so of college!
