NCAA basketball prediction

My earlier prediction to win it all was Florida. Florida is still one of my favorite to win the NCAA men's basketball championship!! But I have never been a fan of Duke because there always touted so much. All the announcers think that the ACC is always the best conference in basketball even though the Big East has been such a power house. But this year I think Duke especially with star player Ryan Kelley back. They would havenever beat Miami if it wasn't for his return, even though it was a close game its still a huge win at home because that was one of his first games back. Its a even bigger win because a lot of people still think that Miami is going to win the championship. Both these teams have the possibly to get a #1 seed and a #2 seed. Which either of the two seed you will be able to make a big run to the final four. My guess is that Duke will end up with a #1 seed because they are Duke and they always get a better seed then they should, and Miami will get a #2 seed and maybe a #3 seed because there name isn't Duke so they have a chance to get screwed on the seeding. If they did get the #3 seed that would some what surprise me but even if they did they would still have a good chance to win it all.

Senior for Syaracuse

The seniors at Syracuse University mes basketball team played their last home game last night ( 4/6/13) against the University Of Depaul. There are four seniors on the Syracuse Orange team. All four got playing time in this last game at the dome. There are 2 starters that are seniors that start on the team. One is James Southernland this was his first year starting. His last home game he ended off the night with a double double scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds. Brandon Triche is the other starting senior, he has start all four years at Syracuse  starting in every single college game.. He ended off the night with 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assist. Both seniors got a standing ovation as they got taken out. The final score was 57-78 Syracuse.but before the game was over the crowed was chanting their names to put them in the Syracuse head coach turned toward the student section and smile as he nodded his head to say they'll get in. This let the other two seniors to get a minute of playing time. Griffin Hoffmann  and Matt Lyde-Cajuste  both got in the final 1:30 left on the game clock. Even though it wasn't much playing time it is still something these remarkable 2 young men will remember for the rest of their life.

NCAA bball

The #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs are ranked #1 for the first in school history! The Gonzaga Bulldogs are 29-2 with a 16-0 record the the WCC conference. #1 Gonzaga Bulldogs should not be ranked #1 in my mind. They have played 3 top 20 ranked teams and have lost to 2 out of the 3 of those games. They lost to both top 15 teams they played. They lost to the  Illinois by 11, 85-74. They also lost to the Butler Bulldogs by 1, 64-63. Both these teams were ranked #13 at the time they played them. The only team they play that was ranked and ended up winning was #22 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys and they only beat them by 1. I don't get how you can be ranked #1 when you haven't even beat anybody that is good. They have done nothing to deserve this. Just because you have a good record because the league you are is awful. They have a good field goal percentage but other than that they have nothing. NCAA mens basketball is down and the other teams are more even but this team has not even beat anyone that has beat anyone. This is why NCAA mens basketball standings make no sense.
