2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament: Finals

Ok, so we’re just die hard Mid-Westerners at Casa de Hornbeck.  Anyone for a quick game of Euchre?

Saturday’s Results-

81 1 Duke 33-4 South 61 7 Michigan State 27-12 East
71 1 Wisconsin 36-3 West 64 1 Kentucky 38-1 Mid-West

At least Kentucky’s out of it because I’m just not ready to see Larry Wilmore fed like a bird (ick).

Tonight’s Big Game-

Kentucky’s defeat has left the “experts” scrambling but the Vegas line is Wisconsin by 1.  This may be due to the fact that Duke is about as popular as the New York Yankees (who lost their home opener today 1 – 6 against the Jays).  Fortunately I’m a Mets fan.

Since you insist, they won 3 – 1 away against the Nationals and I get to say (probably for the last time this season) that they are tied for the lead in the National League East.

But I can’t truly transfer my attention to Baseball until the College Basketball season officially ends tomorrow with the Lady Huskies thumping Notre Dame.

Take me out to the ball game…

Tonight in addition to the national coverage we will have home team broadcasts using the commentators who cover the regular season games.  On TNT we will be seeing the crews that do Duke and Kentucky and on True the ones for Michigan State and Wisconsin.

I guess that tells you how the experts are calling it.

As for me I think State can definitely beat Duke who are not all that by any means.  Likewise I give Wisconsin at least an even chance against Kentucky who have proven with several scares that they’re not very special.

The NCAA didn’t pull the Final Four over Indiana’s bigoted RFRA but logistically they hardly could on just a week’s notice.  They are however talking about pulling their national headquarters out of Indianapolis which would be a good thing for its own sake, not just as a protest.
