In so many ways, the NCAA Tournament has consistently, without fail delivered one quality game after another for literally decades, and nowhere has that consistency been more able to be counted on than in the Final Four. All of which makes Saturday’s results more surprising, yet perhaps also indicative of the way this year’s tourney has gone.
In this edition, we look at all the news outside of basketball games going on this week, then the last three games in the NCAA Tournament.
Years from now, perhaps the best compliment one will be able to give one of the most talented senior classes in the history of George Washington basketball is that not only did they go out as champions, but they also went out playing their very best.
This year’s NCAA Tournament Final Four is set. By almost all accounts, it’s not a foursome many expected to be here collectively, and for a season and a tournament that has carried a double major in inexplicable and bizarre, that might be the best sign we have that it’s as appropriate of a group as we could’ve asked for.
The Final Four is set, and after No. 1 seeds looked dominant in the last round, only one advanced after a great comeback in one of Sunday’s games.
One of the most underrated college basketball coaches of our era is likely to finally get his due this week. In fact, the same might be said about two coaches as the NCAA Tournament soon approaches its climax.
Ted and I look back at the regional semifinals and ahead to the regional finals, as well as the ACC’s big success. We also touch briefly on coaching news as that gets set to pick up.
It’s regular for defending national champions to not go out easily in the NCAA Tournament, and one would expect that to be doubly true when that defending champion is Duke.
In the latest edition, we look back at the great first weekend and look ahead to the regionals, with all four No. 1 seeds still alive.
The improbable continues to happen as the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is in the books. Plus the ACC dominates the Sweet 16, some more coaching news, and no surprise at an early NBA Draft entrant.
