Well, honestly, I am surprised Duke won by 17. It's a complete turnaround from the last month's play. But they looked like a team. A NCAA championship worthy team. Everyone contributed. Thank you UNC for awaking the Duke firepower. We're back!
Nolan Smith of course got the MVP and was 1st team all ACC for the tournament. Kyle Singler joined him.
Kyle was a beast on defense. Seriously. Best defender of the game and tournament. He finally broke his scoring slump against UNC just in time to win the ACC Championship. Way to go Kyle!
The inside guys were phenomenal! Miles, Mason, and Ryan together shot around 72% I believe. That's pretty awesome isn't it? I mean they stepped up majorly.
Andre and Seth of course sent those 3s through the nets. They were on fire and helped Duke always when UNC went on a run.
And if you didn't know, Kyrie Irving has a good chance of playing in the tournament. Everyone should just give up if Kyrie comes back. Duke is unstoppable with him.

UConn won the Big East. They beat an outstanding Louisville team. I was highly impressed by the team effort behind Kemba Walker. If Smith doesn't get player of the year, I would want him to have it. I was so happy to see UConn pull it off in the end.
Kentucky won the SEC. Slightly surprised by that. They are good, but honestly, not better than Florida or Vanderbilt. They have a ton of talent, but won't make it far in the tournament. They crack too easily.
Kansas unfortunately won the Big 12 championship. I have no idea what happened to Texas. They looked like a different team from the one that beat Kansas at Kansas. I just shook my head when I watched that game. Texas, where'd you go?

Well, these are the championships I watched. Ohio State is going on right now. I don't really see a Penn State team beating a team like OSU, but the Big Ten has gone downhill pretty fast. There is only one good team now, being Ohio State, so they will win their championship.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brackets come out tonight. My #1 seeds are Ohio State, Kansas, Duke, and Notre Dame. Ohio State and Kansas are obvious #1 seeds. Duke definitely got a #1 seed for me after their dominating performance against UNC in the ACC Championship game. Pitt lost their #1 seed for me after going out early in their conference tournament.
Can't wait for March Madness to start. It's what everyone waits for all season. It's finally here! Go Duke!
