two thousand aught seven's NCAA men's basketball tourney

The selection committee got it right this year. Teams are as close to evenly matched as possible. Each round brings tougher competition. Each round brings out higher levels of play on both sides. Resulting in the most watchable tournement in the not-so-recent past. Even though we havent reached the grand finale the coup de gra it seems like we alrady have. For instance, osu's come back from the dead clawing out of its grave to over come an 18 point half time deficit. And the best part was you could see it on the faces of each and every memphis player: a look of submittance disbelief and shock maybe verging on horror for the beasts they had just unleashed. Sure they sit quietly on porch but only until their survival in the tournement is threatend. Then youll be shut down by infreakingtense man defence lookin like theyve been training in a buddhist temple, quick quick hands. As far as offence scoring points is no obsticle its what they do best how could you not with that baller senior and those two freshmen guys are purdy good too. Also have to give it to the Hoyas heroic come back to get to the final four through ot.. Then there is the multiple other over time games and the 6 point average margin of victory in the second round.
Some may say the lack of upsets makes this year's brackett a dissapointment and the lack of buzzer beaters makes it boaring. It's too bad they dont appreciate they quality basketball that has been played. Instead of only one shot at the end of the game we have multiple great shots come down the last five minute stretch. As far as the upsets go..stop focusing on the seed its never ment much in the past so why should we care if we can say a number 12 beat a 5. The 64 team bracket is designed to create the most amount of good competition as mathmaticly possible providing the seeds are ranked correctly. Well they came pretty damn close this year.
