See You In The ATL: Florida, Georgetown Set Final Four Field

Florida handled Oregon and Georgetown shut down North Carolina, in overtime, to advance to the Final Four. Ohio State and UCLA earned Final Four spots yesterday.

This year's field consists of two one seeds and two two seeds from four BCS conferences: the Big Ten, the Pac 10, the Southeast, and the Big East. Florida, the reigning National Champion, and UCLA are making return appearances. They will meet for a rematch of last year's Championship game. Also, for the second straight year, no team from the ACC will be in the Final Four.

The staff here at Drive and Dish wish to congratulate all four teams. But we offer this reminder to Georgetown: you shouldn't be here. Jeff Green's game winning shot, in Friday's game against Vanderbilt, should not have counted. He traveled before he shot the ball. The officials blew the call. Vanderbilt should have advanced to play North Carolina in the Elite Eight. Georgetown should have been watching today's Vanderbilt vs. North Carolina game from home.

Instead, Georgetown is headed to Atlanta. Jeff Green (as pictured above, with Roy Hibbert) gets to play on the big stage.

Make no mistake: the Hoyas' were convincing in their overtime win over the Tar Heels. They absolutely shut North Carolina down in the second half. Georgetown then outscored North Carolina 15 to 3 in overtime. North Carolina looked outclassed. That was impressive, to say the least. Georgetown proved that they belong in the Final Four. But they still shouldn't be there.


Edit:


This past Tuesday, we ran another installment of our, ever popular, "Separated at Birth ?" posts. Tuesday's "Separated at Birth?" featured a side by side of North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough and Canadian psycho chainsaw massacre-er Gregory Despres. Hansbrough and the chainsaw-wielding freak sported similar facial expressions (same crazy look in the eyes) in their respective pictures. Today's loss to Georgetown featured several great television shots of the crazy-eyed Hansbrough. One such shot is pictured below, with the chainsaw wielding freak's mugshot underneath.

It has also been brought to our attention that there are more Hansbrough look alike pieces circulating on the world wide web (like the Hansbrough-Beeker comparison below).



We'll continue to highlight some of them, as circumstances warrant.
