Many of you may already know this, but Steph Curry's little brother, Seth, is going to be a Blue Devil. He led all freshmen with just over 20 a game. Yes, maybe this is the pure scorer that Duke needs. Of course, he will sit out for the upcoming season, but if Singler and Nolan Smith stick around for their Senior seasons ('10-'11), Duke may have what it needs to make a deep run in the tournament. Recruiting has to improve for Coach K and the program, but that's another story that Digger and Bilas can handle.
The tournament has come to a screeching halt in my opinion. With the exception of the 'Nova/Pitt game, there really hasn't been anything to exciting since the 2nd round. A ton of blow outs later and the only thing to hope for is a gigantic UNC/UConn final. These two teams have breezed through their respective regions, and they've been arguably the two most talented teams all season long.
If Calipari leaves for Kentucky, I think he's going to find himself in a position similar to his Memphis job. Conference USA basketball is terrible; SEC basketball is on a steady decline. If he takes the UK job, Calipari will quickly retool Kentucky with some of the best freshmen hoopstars in the country. But, he will still be criticized for running through a weak conference. Maybe at UK, he'll finally win "the big one". He's a great recruiter, but I would like to see him become a great coach.
Early Final Four lines, brought to you by Caesar's Palace:
4/4 6:05 pm
Michigan State
UConn (-4)
4/4 8:45 pm
Villanova
UNC (-7.5)
MSU has had to play way to good for 4 straight games, so I'll give the 4 and take UConn, big.
For me, it's too early to commit to the late game.
P.S. Calipari just took the UK job.
