I'm Back!

Welcome back sports fans! An important family issue has kept me away for the past week, but I’m back with strength! Much has happened over the past week, so let’s make it a basketball week!

This is the week that seasons are ended, championships won, and tournament bids are solidified. It is merely weekend from Selection Sunday, but March Madness is in the air. Take for example just today; Uconn’s Kimba Walker sank a final second shot to beat the one seeded Pitt Panthers in the Big East Tournament. To me, this only shows the power of the Big East even more. Every team has a chance to win every game. They continually beat up on each other up to the “Big Dance” and the team that is victorious has the “best chance” of winning. That is not usually the case. The Big East Champion is usually so beat up at they can fall in the NCAA tournament. It is almost good to lose early. When your filling out your bracket, don’t forget about Pitt. They will still a force to be reckoned with late in March. One team you can count out is Villanova. They fell early in their conference tournament and were dropping games for a month before that. Well, I’m not going to get too far ahead of myself. I’ll save the rest of that for tournament time.

In other news, the Heat are crying. Sounds like a joke right? Well it’s not. Following the Heat-Bulls game, many Heat players were crying. More than likely from the frustrations they are now experiencing. After Lebron “took his talents to South Beach” he bragged about how many championships they would win. What it looks like right now, is zero. Nothing is working for them. The bench players are getting out scored by 20+ a game, they can’t beat any of the goo teams in the league, and they have shot 1-16 in game winning situations. The 1 is a dunk by Lebron James in the final seconds and they still lost that game. So overall it looks really bad for them, but this is only the first season. Look for them to work their way to getting some good bench players and gelling together. Before we know it, the Heat will be relevant and hopefully getting in to a Finals showdown with the Thunder, in let’s say oh, next year!

I’ll be back with more this week, but until then stay classy!
