O.J. Lewis2010 Opening Day Review and National Championship Review
April 6th 2010 15:13
I was right in saying that Duke would win, but that's not important at all. Many people watch college basketball for the championship game. It was an incredible tourney that was capped off by a game that summed up all that went right in the tourney. Butler, who is no Cinderella, just barely lost to Duke 61-59.
The Blue Devils were supposedly the most vulnerable number one seed. Brian Zoubek, Nolan Smith, Kyle Singler, and Jon Scheyer made sure that Coach K came away with another national championship victory. Singler was named the Final Four's most valuable player and scored 19 points in the final game. This cemented his status as the greatest player on Coach K's greatest team.
Nolan Smith did do very well. He had four assists, which is very nice for college play, and 13 points. Gordon Hayward's desperate half-court shot fell off the glass and nearly went in. It almost ruined the fans of Tobacco Road's championship hopes.
Albert Pujols satisfied Cardinals fan's thirst for homers. He smashed two dingers against the Cincinnati Reds. Jason Heyward became the second Atlanta Braves outfielder in a row to homer in his first career at-bat. Heyward is certainly more prolific than Jordan Schafer. The Braves scored 16 runs in their game thanks to Yunel Escobar, Heyward, and Brian McCann. This morning I was able to add Hey-Hey in my fantasy league.
Danny Haren, Mark Buerhle, and Tim Lincecum, and Roy Halladay all did their parts in pitching marvelous games. Hideki Matsui homered in his debut, and I was actually able to see it live amidst my slow internet connection. By the way, I don't have any sports networks on TV. It stinks.
Carlos Gomez and Delmon Young are two Twins- the first one is a former one- that have given us something that may be false hope. Young is a a notorious slow starter, worse than Ibanez; Santana; and Texeira, but hit a homer in his first game. Garrett Jones also smashed two homers while Placido Polanco hit a career high six RBIs with a grand slam in his debut with the Phillies.
It was a great day filled with great baseball performances, but the big stage in college basketball is the most important. Here is a pic of Kyle Singler.
