Morehead St.=Me being the man

So Morehead St. has been the first big upset of this NCAA tournament, and only 2% of America chose them to beat Louisville in the field of 64.  I am proud to say that I was part of that 2%, and it was not complete luck.  I knew that Morehead had the leading rebounder in the nation, Kenneth Faried, who also averages 17 ppg.  I felt like Morehead had a solid team, and it ended up working out.  I also chose Morehead St. to go to the sweet sixteen, and at this point I probably sound crazy.  It doesn't sound so crazy when you hear that they are playing the 12 seed in their bracket, Richmond, who they could easily get another victory against.  Once again, I am proud to say that I chose the upset, when I had Richmond beating Vanderbilt.  So with the 12 vs. 13 matchup I chose Morehead State moving on.  I had a perfect bracket going until the night games, where Michigan State, Missouri, and St. Johns really disappointed me.  Although, I'm still in good shape for my pool that I'm in, where I'm sitting at second place in pool that has 31 people.  I want Morehead to move on to the sweet sixteen extremely bad, and I can't wait for the game.  In conclusion, I also can't wait to see UNC absolutely put the smack down on Long Island tonight.

UNC climbing up the rankings

During my last post I mentioned how the North Carolina Men's basketball team, had moved to number 19 in the country.  Well, the Tar Heels have been on a tear recently and have moved into the top 10 and are now the number 7 team in the country.  They were propelled after a win against #3 Duke on their home floor, and it also gave the Tar Heels the regular season championship for the ACC conference, and the top seed for the end of year ACC conference tournament.  Other than UNC, Ohio St. and Kansas are still looking extremely promising, and the BYU cougars are starting to drop after their recent loss of their 3rd leading scorer and best rebounder, Brandon Davies, who was suspended for violating the schools honor code.  I still think that Florida could be a team to watch coming into the tournament, and Georgetown could be a dark horse while sitting at #22, and are being lead by one of the best shooters in the country, senior Austin Freeman.  I cannot wait for selection Sunday, and I think that my Tar Heels can still earn one of the four number one seeds in the tournament.
