Go Buckeyes

The NCAA Basketball Tournament is the epitome of college sports as it represents all that it is. Pure passion, a love for the game that is often lost at the professional level, and above all, big-time upsets. Who doesn’t love a an underdog such as George Mason rising to the Final Four. It this unpredictability that makes people cringe as they look at their failed predictions of how the brackets would work out. It is teams like this that add to the craziness that is known as the NCAA Basketball Tournament. No other sports hosts as many teams, allowing more upsets and excitement with each passing game. However, what has made this year so special is the upcoming draft class of 2007. Praised as being the most potentially deep draft class ever, they add to the excitement of the tournament. One of these player, Greg Oden, is considered to be the first pick of the upcoming draft. With his fierce rebounding and a beard that makes him look older than Shaq, he is set to go into the tournament with the team that I think will win it all. Go Buckeyes. I personally hope that they accomplish what they could not in football, and win it all, stealing it from the favored Gators. The entire situation actually becomes quite ironic, with the exact opposite happening in football with Ohio State being heavy favorites. Even if they don’t win, the tournament never ceases to entertain, and I certainly feel this year will be no different.
