194 Days 'Til Midnight Madness...
Get well, coach Wooden.
After 3 weeks of the our the best sporting event on the planet, of course the Final Four has a tendency to be a bit anti-climactic. And you know what? Its probably better that way-- let me down easily, thank you.
I didn't think last year's tournament could be topped, and despite a lackluster final weekend, I think this tournament actually surpassed last year's. Congratulations, coach Donovan and Florida- you can finally shut up all the naysayers, myself included, always waiting for your team to lay an egg. Not this year.
For all the press the ACC, Big East and Big 10 received throughout this college basketball season, in the end, the SEC proved to be the best conference. Two Final Four teams, the NCAA and the NIT champions. Florida played the type of basketball that everyone expected from UConn in this tournament. Athletic and versatile frontcourt, and solid guardplay from Taurean Green. Looks like Will Brown had it right, who called Green the "x-factor" in yesterday's Times Siena and said Florida would be extremely tough if Green played well.
Of course I picked UCLA. However, Florida could have Adam Morrison, Randy Foye, JJ Reddick and Sheldon Williams on their team-- I'm still not picking them, not even to beat Stony Brook. Last night's win makes Florida, along with Texas, arguably the one of the two best sports schools in the country at the moment.
Joakim Noah just traveled again.
May or may not have seen Siggers during One Shining Moment-- maybe I was just hoping to see an Albany player. (Actually, it was confirmed ont he BPF site, so maybe I'm not completely delusional.)
And, I'm still waiting for the Coca-Cola/CSTV superfan ad. Thanks for nothing.
Only 194 days until Midnight Madness...Once I get over my basketball hangover, I guess it will be time to turn my attention to the Triple Crown and to another team that wears blue and orange-- merely a stopgap until mid-October.
