I know it is March Madness, and there are going to be people with and without jobs watching who wins, who will be upset, is your tourney bracket up to par, and who will wear this year’s glass slipper into the elite. Blogs are already posted and predictions are already made, but I was looking forward to is one tourney.
……………………………..The NIT
The reason is that for some reason watching UAPB beat Duke, The Gauchos upsetting Evan Turner and THE Ohio State Buckeyes, Todd Bozeman making a coaching comeback and beating West Virginia, or Leigh beat Kansas is really irrelevant (Sorry, that ain’t gonna happen). Even I was a witness of a 16 upsetting a 1 seed in women basketball (See Harvard-Stanford 1998. Trust me, that game was classic). What makes the NIT good is that some of those bubble teams that people were talking about for almost two months are 1 seeds and anything can happen, literally.
………..with that being said this is why players play hard or get upset in the NIT.
Herb Pope from Seton Hall against Texas Tech and Phillip Williams from Jackson State against Mississippi State guess did not like how their counterparts (Darko Cohadarevic of Texas Tech and Dee Bost of Mississippi State) were making them look so they took matters in their own hand (or fist, should I say).
(Note: For those who hate waiting go to the 0:19 mark)
(Note: for those who hate waiting, go to the 2:03 mark)
Well I can say this. Although they went for the jewels, Baylor star Brittney Griner went for the haymaker and connected on Jordan Barncastle’s face. Talk about knockout queen.
That is why I like college sports!
With all these wild incidents, are you watching the first round on the NCAA men tourney, the NCAA Women’s tourney, or the NIT? I know it is sad but what do you all think about this?
