No, I am not getting ready to throw a party for my baby girl. And no, I am not talking about the television show on MTV. This is about basketball. Good college basketball. Let's start with a riddle:
The Blue Devils, the Badgers (we don't need no stinking badgers),the Aztecs and the Cougars. What do all of these teams have in common? They were considered some of the best teams in college basketball this year. And why did I use the past tense?
Because the Wildcats, the Bulldogs, the Huskies and the Gators decided to come to town to take those crowns away. Other than the Duke/Arizona game, which was good for the first half, the other games were all very good.
San Diego tried their hardest, but UConn had a strong three point game that SDSU could not defend. No matter what they tried, it seemed that their three point shooters would still make it. Plus, Kemba Walker was all over the place, scoring over thirty points for the eleventh time this year. Crazy good player. And though a team with a guy named Jimmer just seems destined for glory, BYU could not pull off a win against Florida. It was good, though, since BYU was the only team to defeat the Aztecs - twice - this year, so them not going to the Elite 8 was victory enough. Butler pulled off a minor upset by defeating a number four seed, but they played better and held the Badgers below sixty points, despite almost giving up a twenty point lead.
All in a all, a great first day of games for the Sweet 16. Of course, my bracket is toast and has been since Pittsburgh lost and SDSU won last weekend (I know I rooted for SDSU today, but that was after deciding that I was not going to win my bracket). Let's hope the games tomorrow are just as exciting as today's, because that will make the Elite 8 games even that much more interesting.
Until tomorrow.
