The Madness Day 1 + Pool Standings
Phew…I survived a MAJOR scare yesterday when Memphis decided to make their game interesting. I know there were A LOT of people out there holding their breaths as the minutes ticked down and the Tigers weren’t getting any closer to closing the lead CSU Northridge had accumulated. Cue my new favourite Tiger, Roburt Sallie, a guy whose career high was previously 13, comes in an just ANNIHILATES CSU by going 10/15 from 3 point range for 35 points and seriously single handedly takes the game back for Memphis in probably the most exciting game of the day.
You could argue that VCU and UCLA was also a great game that came to the wire but if you watched the majority of the game it wasn’t really that close. UCLA was up pretty big most of the game and whenever Maynor would get the game within 2 possessions, the Bruins would pull away again. I do have to give it up for Darren Collison who played UNREAL D on the last VCU possession to make Maynor take the toughest shot possible at the end of the game. The shot ended up about 6 inches short but was right on line and no doubt if Collison wasn’t playing that good of D, there would have been 5 upsets yesterday.
Yesterday also marked the beginning of what is likely the last NCAA tournament Blake Griffin will play in and it was quite an interesting one. First off, if you haven’t seen the MONSTER of a human play, you HAVE to watch Oklahoma’s next game on Saturday when they take on the winner of Temple and Syracuse. Even if it’s just to see how HUGE this “kid” is, I mean its pretty scary, as one of my buddies said yesterday while watching “He looks like a freakin’ body builder”. If he would have said WWE wrestler he would have been a but closer after yesterdays game. If you didn’t see it, the Sooners were just demolishing were just demolishing Morgan St. (WHO?) and I guess Ameer Ali had enough and off of a rebound, he got tangled with Blake and subsequently grabbed Griffins arm and proceeded to HIP TOSS Griffin to the ground. I am trying to get a clip of the video for the site, its hilarious and only because Blake is a BEAST and just bounced up and walked away.
