The gym keys are locked away, let’s bring out the bats and balls!
April 7, 2009
Well, not much second-guessing to this one: UNC 89; Michigan State 72. A superb and worthy performance by the Tar Heels to be sure. One might argue it was the most dominant tournament run in recent memory (the closest UNC came to losing was against LSU in the second round, and they still ended up winning by 14 points). Michigan State played hard and stayed with the Heels for the final 25 minutes, but after the first 15, it was all over. Nothing to hang their heads about; theirs was a spectacular season. But the team of the hour is Carolina. I’ll bet Chapel Hill was rocking last night.
And, changing tack, I’m pleased to follow-up on my baseball ebullience from yesterday. Two of the day’s prettier results:
Orioles 10, Yankees 5 (C.C. Sabathia loses his first Yankee start. Was crushed, actually, is more like the truth. Obviously he should’ve heeded my warning.)
Cubs 4, Astros 2 (Roy Oswalt gets the loss, Carolos Zambrano pitches brilliantly, and Alfonso Soriano begins the Cubs’ season with a towering leadoff home run!)
Who’s ready for October?
