Indiana Daily Student All-Star (and Kentucky dance team enthusiast) Geoffrey Miller wrote how he kind of misses the Cinderella stories during this second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Don't get me wrong; I loved watching Stephen Curry play David to a couple of Goliaths last season. And the George Mason Final Four run was epic. But I couldn't be happier this year has been mostly chalk.
I can't wait to see Gonzaga v. North Carolina - there will be so much talent on the court, (Lawson v. Pargo, Hansbrough v. Heyvelt...Its going to be great.)
I'm curious to see if Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year Travis Walton can lock down Kansas' Sherron Collins, (one of the toughest SOB's left in the tournament.) And if the Big Ten regular season champion is better than the Big 12 regular season champs.
Can consensus Player of the Year Blake Griffin muscle his way past Syracuse and their famed 2-3 zone? We're going to find out.
Sure it might be 'boring' when there aren't a lot of giants being killed in the first round, but this weekend's slated games (as well as the four potentially great Elite Eight games) more than make up for it.
At least that's what I think, how about you? Are you a fan of the chalk? Or is the tournament missing its usual charm without an underdog to get behind?
