The Big Dance

       So, as we all know this years March Madness has been very unpredictable. Watching the division tournaments before the Big Dance fans would have known this years tournament was going to be crazy. Starting with the Big East tournament where everyone was sure that Pittsburgh was going to come out on top, surely everyone that believed this to be true was left in a state of confusion. Kemba Walker was sensational throughout the whole tournament. He set the record for the most points in the Big East tournament ever, Kemba also made the center for Pittsburgh fall to his hands after a crucial crossover that led to knockdown of the game winning shot. Seeing this showed me that college basketball is so unpredictable. Kemba Walker is showing the same signs that Aaron Rodgers showed all season. He is showing dedication, heart, and most importantly that he is clutch. This could mean that Kemba and the Huskies will win a national title this year.
        What came as a shocker to all college basketball fans is the succession of Virginia Commonwealth. The VCU Rams came into the tournament as the eleventh seed, and now they are in the final four. After watching them play in the tournament fans realized that their defense is not as week as everyone thought. They shut down the Morris brothers when they played Kansas and that is a feet in itself. There shooting is phenomenal, they are not scared to shoot the ball when they have open looks and they knock the majority of their shots down. This could pose a potential problem for hot Butler Bulldog's. Matt Howard and Shelvin Mack seem to be the heart of these Bulldogs. For some reason they always turn it up during the Big Dance. Last season they made it all the way to the championship game and feel short to Duke Blue Devils. This season they are coming back strong with the national title loss in the back of their minds. This years Final Four is going to be very exciting and stressful, but my heart is riding with Kemba Walker and the Connecticut Huskies.
