By George it's happened again! Last year, George Mason, my graduate school, shocked most of the nation to advance to the Final Four. This year Georgetown, the school mom teaches at, has made the Final Four after their third straight comeback win.
North Carolina held the lead over Georgetown for much of the game thanks to an overwhelming advantage at the free throw line. But Georgetown stayed confident. Whenever Roy Hibbert entered the game, the Hoyas seemed to click on offense. Unfortunately, he was in foul trouble for much of the game. With 25 seconds to go, Jonathan Wallace threw up a three that went in to tie the game. The Hoyas defense continued their stout ways on UNC final possession of regulation. In overtime, UNC did not score a point until there were only 7 seconds left in the game. It was an outstanding defensive display, and I'm quite happy.
Florida beat Oregon thanks to Lee Humphry's shooting. UCLA out-defended Kansas and Brandon Rush, who looks like the offspring of his brother Kareem and Paul Pierce. Memphis' Joey Dorsey claimed that he was actually the mighty Goliath and Ohio State's 7 foot star Greg Oden was the lowly David, before their contest. The someone reminded Dorsey that David won that fight. I guess that's what Memphis education gets you. And just like Goliath, Dorsey and Memphis lost.
I got the Final 4 completely correct, which sort of makes up for my earlier stumbles. But I still don't understand why CBS doesn't call it their "Ace Sunday Lineup." It's gold.
Goodbye The George Michael Sports Machine.
