March
Madness
Sleepers
My locks for the Final Four
shouldn't he a surprise to anyone
I'm initially going with Duke
North Carolina. Kansas, and my
favorite. Arizona
However. life is never this
simple there are some teams out
there that will in my opinion make
their presence felt Starting with last
years sweet 16 team Stanford
They're returning everyone except
point guard Brevm Knight All
Amencan center Tim Young has
picked up the leadership role. I
would look for them to make an
early splash
Ho* about the ever so talented
Honda State Seminoles who have
enough talent and depth to beat any
one on a given night |
year the Seminoles upset defend
ing National Champion Ari/oru
They are aggressive, defensive
minded and physical, things that
can take a team a long way in the
big dance
Then there's Temple coach
John Charley's trademark zone de
fense is practically impossible to
master on your first try Take Fresno
State for example, the Bulldogs
committed 14 turnovers en route to
a 76-61 loss Jerry Tarkaman said.
"that's the best /one defense in the
NCAA, absolutely
A team that has been proven
to shock the world is Princeton,
they seem to produce an upset ev
ery year of the tournament The I v y
Leaguers play simple smart, and
very unselfish They bring an older
and wiser team tothi
Madness that earlier this Seat such
teams as N C Stat.
Wake f-oresi
I guess you could call these my
sleeper teams of the NCAA Tour
nament. Ill be looking for all of
them to cause serious hans
Let's get
ready to
rumble
Saturday s match-up between
Duke and North Carolina could have
easily been the second of four rounds
between the two teams (the others
would he in the ACC Championship
game and the NCAA Finals) Both
seams have split the two games, and
the NCAA Finals
But there are other teams to mat
out for which come from a state other
teams are extremely dangerous
Princeton is one team that could easily make it to the Final Four Fvery year
it just seems to have a solid tourna
Don't forget about tea
sivsippi. and Temple co
teams as well And small
the College ol CsnwfM
"Sweet 16" team
There are numerot
