Being at last nights Hornets- warriors game at the Arena, made me realize something that should be obvious ... College basketball is better. Ok Josh Smith can dunk, Kobe can score.. the point is though, that College baskeball even in the regular season is more exciting. Players dont get a million dollars and a 5 star hotel win r lose. You cant say that about the NBA. There are upsets in college basketball and you never know whats going to happen. Its pretty obvious whos going to Be in the finals.. The pistons and either the spurs or mavericks. While on the other hand just look at the fuckin final 4. LSU, UCLA, GEORGE MASON, FLORIDA. Bottomline the desire to win in college is much more then in the nba in the POST jORDAN YEARS. Give me the exitement over the "oh it doesnt matter if we win, we get the bread"

March madness this year started off with a field of 65 including the wonderful play in game. That field has now been cut down to four.

LSU: My personal favorite of the teams left , yes I said it I like them better then George " I be on that kryptonite Mason". Most people know of Glen "Big Baby" Davs but I think there real star is Tyrus Thomas one word that describes him is "WOW!". One of the most athletic players I have ever seen. Note: He can take the game over with his defense alone and also has offense to. There one weakness however is three point shooting one word that describes that is "Pathetic!!" 3 of 19 or watever they shot vs Texas.


UCLA: The team that you always think is going to lose but somehow gets the job done. There best player is there coach Ben Howland. I think he is the best coach in college basketball. Sorry I pick him over jim larranaga ( George Masons coach). Being down 17 to Gonzaga and never giving up makes me give Howland the nod over larranaga. Also holding a Memphis squad to 45 points is simly amazing.

Both LSU and UCLA are defensive teams and My bet would be that the game is a tight one in the Low 50's.


George Mason: At this point the small college team out of Fairfax Virginia is Americas team. One question... Who is George Mason anyways? Well IDK, But this team has stepped it up in the tourney. Led by Will Thomas and Jai Lewis in the frontcourt and a strong backcourt consisting of Lamar Butler, Tony skinn and Folarin campbell this team has obviously suprised a lot of people. Jim Laranagga has done a wonderful job and the Patriots look to continue there run vs the Gators of Gainseville AKA Florida.


Florida: Last but not least its Florida. A team with tremendous balanced talent With Joakim Noah and Al Horford in the front court and swingman Corey Brewer along with guard Taurean green have all had great tourneys. Dont forget sharpshooter Tauren Green. Not only do they have Talent But coach Billy donovan is one of the best. Donovan led a florida squad to the championship game back in 2000 but lost to Duke.

Prediction: LSU Over Florida in an all SEC championship game.

Sitting around Watching March Madness all day, I thought it would be fun to predict Every division winner and other teams placement. As well as playoff predictions...
