The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of NCAA B-Ball

The Good:

This most recent season of college basketball has provided us with some of the most exciting play then recent memory serves me. The way Davidson, WKU, and San Diego have gone above and beyond expectations and how perrenial powerhouses like Duke, Connecticut, and Georgetown were stopped far before their time. Or were they.......

The Bad:

This season as well as the ones before them sung their praises for the powerhouses and left the mid-majors fighting for just one millisecond on any sports show. I know many will say rightfully so there were four #1 teams in the final four for the 1st tome ever. This remains true but we need not neglect the mid majors any longer. Davidson was a huge suprise this tournament to everyone outside of North Carolina. We saw them take teams like UNC, Duke and UCLA to the brink while boasting the nations longest winning streak before their loss in the elite eight. Now take Davidson and replace them with Syracuse and lets say Syracuse played the same teams the same way and had the same record as Davidson. They would have been at least a 3 seed. THE TIME IS NOW TO STOP THE GRAVELING OF THESE SO CALLED POWERHOUSES!

The Ugly:

The pressure that is put on these young players is way to hard. Derrick Rose had an outstanding Nat. Champ. Game but will always be remembered for the missed free throws. These kids and thats what they are can not be expected to be perfect. Even Jordan at some point had a great game and choked it at the end. Ask yourself this, if Rose went 0-15 for FT and Memphis won would you remember?
