College Basketball is under way!
Yesterday was the Coaches vs. Cancer classic. Unfortunately Cancer defeated the Coaches again this year to run their winning streak to 46 consecutive years.
I caught some of the games and I must say that I'm already sick of Dukie V. He revealed his final four predictions; UConn, Duke, Mich. St. and Kansas. Whoa, way to go out on a limb there Dick!
Since we are on the subject here are my final four predictions:
Duke
Gonzaga
Louisville
Notre Dame
Duke is loaded and has a great coach, Gonzaga is ready to make the move into the bigtime, Louisville will be the #4 seed that peeks at the right time with Francisco Garcia leading the way, and Notre Dame will be carried to the Final Four on the back of Chris Thomas
Speaking of Chris Thomas, next up its the Sierack-Attack Pre-Season All-American Te-am:
1st Team
Emeka Okafor, UConn, Jr.*
Chris Thomas, Notre Dame, Jr.
Jameer Nelson, St. Joe's, Sr.
Ike Diogu, Arizona St., Soph.**
Rickey Paulding, Mizzou, Sr.
* - National Player of the Year
** - Should have gone to Illinois
2nd Team
Romain Sato, Xavier, Sr.
Luke Jackson, Oregon, Sr.
Ben Gordon, UConn, Jr.
Daniel Horton, Michigan, Soph.
Hakim Warrick, Syracuse, Jr.
3rd Team
Luis Flores, Manhattan, Sr.
Andre Emmett, Texas Tech, Sr.
J.J. Redick, Duke, Soph.
Dee Brown, Illinois, Soph.
Raymond Felton, North Carolina, Soph.
Peace I'm out of here
