It’s March: Let The Madness Begin
March 17, 2009 2 Comments
Tonight officially starts the NCAA Tournament, with the play-in game set to begin. I haven’t even filled a bracket out this year, but I think that the committee has awakened a sleeping Tiger by giving my alma mater, Memphis, a #2 seed instead of a 1 seed. I think I actually prefer it better this way. John Calipari always seems to get the guys to play better when he can put a chip on their shoulder and play the “us against the world/no respect” card. While I don’t think this team is as talented offensively as last year’s national runner-up team, I think they can make up for it on the defensive end of the court. It’s been said that defense wins championships, if so, don’t count out my Tigers!

You’ll be pleased to know that Memphis comes out on top this year in my bracket, playing UNC in the title game.
A fine choice, sir, to be sure!
