Simple things are worth blogging about
31 Mar
This week when you go grocery shopping, you may want to stock up on the junk food. I know having a lot of munchies around is important for days that have a good sporting event on. This Saturday we get to see the final four teams from men’s college basketball compete for this year’s championship. The final game will be played Monday in Indianapolis for the two teams that are victorious on Saturday.
How many people still have their 2010 tournament brackets intact? Who cares about the Duke and West Virginia side of the bracket. If you manage to pick the two number 5 seeds that are in the final four in Indianapolis this weekend; then you certainly know your college basketball.
The first game is currently showing a tip-off time at around 6:07 EST and this will be the game that features the two biggest underdogs in the final four. College basketball fans will be treated with the 5th seeded Butler Bulldogs taking on another 5th seed in the Michigan State Spartans. It doesn’t matter which team wins this opening game, because either way we will have a 5th seed in the championship game on Monday. I picked against both of these teams already, so I’m not really in a position to count either one of them out now. This should be a good game and both teams have played great basketball until this point in the tournament. You really hate to see either team lose on Saturday, but this will be the final game of the season for one of them.
In the nightcap that’s scheduled for a 8:47 EST tip-off will be between two teams fighting for the other half of the championship game on Monday. No big surprises to most people associated with college basketball to see the number 1 seeded Duke Bluedevils in this game. The Bluedevils will have a tough match up against the 2 seed that’s from the east coast too in the West Virginia Moutaineers. No doubts that Duke will be the favorite to win over West Virginia, but I will be pulling for the Mountaineers to upset those Bluedevils from North Carolina. I do expect a close game here and I think the 2nd game of the night on Saturday will be a closer final score than the first game will provide. Which two teams do you predict to be playing in the 2010 NCAA Championship Game in Indianapolis? Which team has the best players and coaches in the finalĀ 4 that will give them the opportunity to cut down the nets on Monday night?
