Ohio State, UCLA Reach Final Four




In January, Ohio State played Florida in college football's National Championship game. Florida upset #1 rated OSU. Will college basketball's national championship game also feature Ohio State and Florida? As of now, it still could happen.

With their victory over Memphis today, Ohio State earned a spot in the Final Four. The Buckeyes last Final Four appearance was in 1999.

Congratulations are in order for Ohio State. They deserve to be in the Final Four.

But I don't think that Ohio State will win the National Championship. Experience wins championships. Even though Mike Conley doesn't play like a freshman, he's still a freshman point guard. Greg Oden may look like he's forty years old, but he's also a freshman. Ohio State is a year away (if Oden stays).

By the way, Oden needs to stop hanging on the rim
(as he is doing in the picture to the right and in the picture under the update in the earlier Drive and Dish post "So Wrong, Yet So Right On").


Oh yeah, and if Greg Oden wasn't already geeked up enough for today's game, Memphis center Joey Dorsey provided him ( as well as Thad Matta and the entire OSU roster, to be sure) with some prime bulletin board material. Oden was limited by foul trouble for much of the game, yet still managed seventeen points and nine rebounds. Dorsey's statements were simply ridiculous. Joey Dorsey is not smart.


Update:

In Saturday's second game, UCLA earned its second straight trip to the Final Four by defeating Kansas. Sure, there's quite a bit to say about the game, but we know what our readers want. You can find game recaps anywhere. But, since our readers are predominantly male, we'll waste no time in posting pictures of UCLA's cheerleaders (plus Aaron Afflalo and Lorenzo Mata).

Down goes dollar Bail $elfish!!! Bwahhahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!! How did all them Chicago players work out for KU? Collins and Wright r not worth what their being paid. $elfish can have all the 4 and 5 star chicago players for all I care. BAM will win with downstate kids who are 2 and 3stars. BAM can develop less talented players into great players (deron williams, lulu) and coach em up. $elfish can buy all the best athletes he wants but he still cant coach his way out of a paper bag. LOL! Hay $elfish, sucks to b you!


In Bruce we trust.




Save the Cheif!
