Men's Basketball has us all confused this morning, with the Milwaukee Bucks removing the LA Lakers from NBA contention!?! This will be the first year in almost two decades without a LeBron James in the NBA finals. Maybe the Lakers should move back to Minnesota? That is where the true action is this weekend, Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is the site of today's Final Four in the championships of USA's NCAA Men's College Basketball. The championships are being played at the US Bank Stadium, better known to readers of this space as the new home to the Minnesota Vikings of the NFL. I guess they finally wanted to have some champion play at their new stadium. This year's is not the most exciting of recent Final Four match-ups, as we have heard over, and over, and over... A top seed, a past champion and two first-time visitors will play for the national title this weekend. They are still playing in the tournament, right, so they must be pretty good. This space foresees some exciting basketball this evening. In the first match-up, tournament surprisers Auburn will contend with fellow southerners Virginia. Virginia is the last top seed in the tournament, and Auburn is making their virgin visit to the finals. The Auburn Tigers are peaking, being on a 12 game winning streak. The Virginia Cavaliers have a top rated defense. Auburn has some players who may be out for the flu... The Tigers have the plan and could very well win, but they have their work cut out for them. Later, Michigan State, of the Big 10, who won the big dance in 2000, will take on Texas Tech, also Final Four Virgins. The Michigan State Spartans have a top rated offense and defense, so come into the game strong. The Texas Tech Red Raiders have surprised everyone in the tournament so far, and could very well pull off a surprise today. The Red Raiders are known for a very strong defense, but their offense has been coming alive all tournament long. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
