More Fun with Mike Celizic
Being a Jayhawk fan, and dealing with them being consistantly overlooked and underrated, I feel I can, with a clean conscious, bag on Mike Celizic from MSNBC again because he's determined that UNC is going to take the title this year. Funny how someone of his sports "knowledge" neglects that fact that Kansas has the #1 RPI and has, for the better part of the season consistantly had the #1 RPI...
So, here goes....
Like last year, the team with the best chance to win it all isn’t the team rated No. 1. It’s the team with the most talent, with size up front and a great point guard, the team built for a championship.
Yes, size up front is important, I have to agree. But make sure you buy Trojan XL Magnum to guard that point.
The guards — Dee Brown, Deron Williams and Luther Head — are as good as any trio of small men... few small teams have cut down the nets recently. The last that qualifies would be the 1997 Arizona squad that had capable big men.
Trio of small men, or squad of capable big men? I think it's more matter of preference than anything else.
if you’re 7-foot-4 and have a pulse you’re a first-round draft choice in the NBA: size matters.
I guess we know what your prefence is, eh Mike?
May(center from UNC) isn’t as athletic as Okafor (center from Uconn last year) was, but he knows how to play center and use his bulk.
Or is it more "it's not the size that matters, it's how you use it?"
Flanking May is a brace of 6-9 forwards who share the surname Williams — Jawad and Marvin.
Flanking May? Now that sounds more interesting than a silly ol' basketball game any time.
Also like Connecticut, the UNC has a good, quick point guard, Raymond Felton, and a shooting guard, Rashad McCants, who can fill it up.
"Fill it up?" Is he refering to the hoop or a heavenly body, such as Uranus?
They’ve got five NBA draft choices on the court.
Felton, McCants and May
Are off to the NBA
Leaving a team
that is less than a dream
Roy Williams will have a bad day.
Good luck next year Roy!
Not that I'm bitter, or anything.

McCants is sick to his tummy
He's feeling a little crummy
The Tar Heels will lose
Roy will blow a fuse
The 'Hawks victory will be yummy

Sure, sure, that's a clever little limerick about college basketball.
Myself, when I think of college hoops, this always comes to mind:
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
That's right: the center can not hold. Go baseline, that's my advice, you know, with that kind of center.

But really, the best are thinking about making the big bucks in the NBA while the worst just want to do their best for the glory that might come from kickin' it in the tourney.
It's kind of bittersweet, I guess. And that's why I love college hoops.
Is that Yeats? The Second Coming? Did he forget that the 'Hawks won in 1952 AND 1988? I think he meant the Third Coming.
