March Madness Selection
ODU + 2 vs. Butler (Game starts about 2:50 EST)
The ODU Monarchs practices have been eventful this past week. Emotions are running high. Evidently, Thier best defensive guard Brandon Johnson and power forward/center Valdas Vasylius nearly came to blows at Sunday's practice.
On Tuesday before the team left, it was Vasylius and point guard Drew Williamson who were on each others' case.
A lot of people seem to like ODU as a 12-5 upset special. The only 12 I've paid attention to is the fact that it's been 12 years since ODU won an NCAA Tournament game.
Can you say Petey Sessoms over Villanova?
Also, Butler's plane was delayed by several hours, as they landed late from their trip to Buffalo from Indiana...
Prediction: There REALLY is a reason that the #12 team is getting so much RESPECT against the #5 seed. Don't fall into this trap. Take the #12 Seeded ODU who is the MUCH HOTTER team coming into the Big Dance, winning 12 our of their last 13. Meanwhile, Butler lost 4 out of their last 8 and all of their showcase wins happened LAST YEAR in 2006 (very early this season)...
ODU by 2 in a thriller...
They know how to WIN close games!!!!
Best of Luck,
THE SHRINK
