What a weekend in sports. The first weekend of the new baseball season kicked off, the NHL and the NBA are wrapping up their regular seasons and are about to head into their respective playoffs. But nine out of ten people don't care about any of the above sports. Sorry but the NCAA tournament was down to its final four teams and only two would be left after Saturday night. The first game pitted the PAC-10 Champion UCLA Bruins versus the one loss C-USA Champion Memphis Tigers. Each time has their respected All-American Freshman in Center Kevin Love of UCLA and Point Guard and future top five NBA Draft pick Derrick Rose. The matchup was well hyped and Memphis prevailed with excellent play of Derrick Rose and Chris Douglas-Roberts. Even though Memphis won by a big margin of fifteen points and this turned out to be the close game of the two. North Carolina and Kansas was supposed to be a very tough and physical game with North Carolina taking the win. It was the complete opposite. Kansas played the best basketball I have ever seen in my life in the first half turning a mere 15-10 lead to a 40-12 lead close to halftime. North Carolina got it close in the second half but Kansas went on another great run to finish the game and won by nearly twenty points. Memphis versus Kansas in the championship game will be a fabulous game but I am confident Memphis will win despite their constant free throw troubles.
