The Final Four and the Final Post
This year’s Final Four featured nothing but power conferences–no Cinderella, and no team seeded below a two. The action kicked off with No. 1 Ohio St. against No. 2 Georgetown . Although a very good game until the end, Ohio St. was victorious against the Hoyas winning the game 67-60. In the other game, the Bruins looked outclassed from the beginning leading to No. 1 Florida having no problem knocking off No. 2 UCLA 76-66.
In the National Championship No. 1 Ohio St. took on No. 1 Florida. Florida came into the game as defending national champions and was looking to become the first team to repeat in 15 years. And repeat they did. Florida handed Ohio St. an 84-75 loss and became only the fifth team in NCAA history to repeat as national champions. The outcome of the game was never in doubt, with Florida leading by 11 at halftime and the lead was never smaller than five points after that.
Ohio St. center Greg Oden looked great in this one. He finished with 25 points and 12 rebounds in 38 minutes of action. Now the big question is whether or not he will make the jump to the NBA next year. The way he looked in this game–I’d say he is more than ready. I guess we’ll find out in a couple of months what he decides to do.
On the other side of the ball, Florida is projected to have their entire starting five drafted. A rarity to say the least.
As for me, no, I’m not going to be drafted in this lifetime, but I can finally put an end to this site. It was a lot of fun and hard work and looking back on it now all I can say is–I’m finally done.
