Florida, Ohio State Advance to Championship Game


Florida and Ohio State won in Saturday's National Semifinal games, and will now play Monday night in the NCAA National Championship game.

This should be fun.

Florida is the defending National Champion. They have all five starters back from last year's championship team.

Ohio State has freshman sensations in point guard Mike Conley, Jr. and seven foot center Greg Oden.

In an earlier Drive and Dish post, I said that there appeared to be several good teams, but no great teams in college basketball this year...unless Florida were to start really trying.
I believed the Gators were a superior team that just needed to pull it together in the NCAA Tournament.

Guess what, they pulled it together in the NCAA Tournament.

Ohio State is a team that meshes experienced upper classmen with the freshman phenoms Oden, Conley, Daequan Cook, and David Lighty. The Buckeyes appeared to improve all season long. The freshman, Conley in particular, play with the kind of poise and confidence that one would expect from only the best upper classmen.

Florida and Ohio State are, absolutely, the best two teams in college basketball. Monday night's Championship game promises to be worth the hype. And, just like January's college football National Championship, expect Florida to emerge victorious over Ohio State.

Admit it, Duke hater, you're just happy that Duke isn't in the final. Why don't you write a post celebrating that? I mean, hating Duke is what you're all about, right?

Dude, why were you blogging at midnight on Saturday night? Aren't you supposed to be like Mr. Hardcore,"I go out drinking on Monday night," drinker/partier? What's going on? How big of a geek do you have to be to be blogging at midnight on a Saturday? I suppose you were accessing wifi from the VIP room at some downtown Chicago club, or maybe you were posting from the club's office-because you're tight with the owner and the promoters. OK. Your'e cool. Or were you posting from your PDA in the back of some "dive bar?" Methinks you're a poser. Or you're crazy. Who goes out on MOnday, but is at home and on the internet on Saturday night? I'll bet you spent "quality time" with yourself. YOu suck.
