How’s your bracket? If it’s anything like mine, it’s been busted since day one. I haven’t looked at mine ever since Michigan State went down. After that, I just stopped and enjoyed the Madness.
And there has been a lot to enjoy, as a fan and as one who looks for good storylines. The Final Four is full of great storylines too. The North Carolina Tar Heels are the only No.1 seed in the final four contest and they’ll be taking on Syracuse, the only No.10 seed to make it this far. The two ACC rivals have gone head-to-head twice with the Heels taking both games but when you get this far it’s a different ballgame.
Some say the Orange didn’t deserve to make the tournament at all because of the allegations but here they are with a chance to play for the National Championship. The pressure is on Carolina. It’s hard to beat a team three times and if the Heels win, it’s no big deal because it’s what’s expected. If they lose, many will consider it the biggest choke job ever.
On the other side we have two No.2 seeds going head-to-head in Villanova and Oklahoma. The Sooners knocked of the Texas A&M Aggies to get to this point while the Wildcats upset the No.1 Kansas Jayhawks. I’m not going to make a guess at who wins but I certainly hope it’s Villanova, because well, the other team is from Oklahoma. Overall, I’m rooting for the Tar Heels. Go Heels.
The Final Four is set to take place Saturday and Monday night at NRG Stadium in Houston.
