UNC

John Henson, Harrison Barnes and Kendall Marshall entered the NBA draft opting to leave school early. I'm not happy about this. I'm not sure it was the right thing for them to do. Obviously I'm biased because I'm a huge North Carolina Tar heel basketball fan but Barnes couldn't play to his level with Kendall Marshall out during the tournament. I'm not sure they are ready for the NBA draft. John Henson might not be strong enough and should have improved his skills by staying another year and Marshall broke his wrist and had to get surgery during the tournament. Marshall probably should have came back another year just to prove to the NBA teams that his injury did not effect him at all. I'm mad because i know with them UNC would've been the top team next year. Without them they will just have to prove they are still good. I like when they are the underdogs because it gives them more drive and determination to win making them hard to beat. Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston have already proved they are ready to move into the starting position. James Michael McAdoo is going to only get better from the way he played this year. I believe McAdoo is going to be one of the best to come out of UNC if he continues to work hard. He has a lot of potential. Lets not forget that Dexter Strickland will also be back. He will be coming back from his injury and should be a good leader for this team next season. I've been a North Carolina Tar Heel fan for a long time and i always believe they can win the National Championship every year. This year coming up will be an adjustment but with Roy Williams at the helm they will always be good and in the running for a top ranking.

The Masters

Many people find golf to be boring but I have found the final day of the big golf tournaments to be exciting. Today took a play off to determine the winner of the Masters at the Augusta National golf course. Augusta is one of the most beautiful golf courses. Bubba Watson won his first ever Green Jacket today. I was rooting for Phil Mickelson to win but I'm not mad that Bubba Watson won. Louis Oosthuizen played a great game but came up a shot short in the playoff. The shot that set up the win for Watson was outstanding. He was in the woods and hit it out of the woods hooking it about 40 yards onto the green.Watson was extremely emotional after sinking in the putt that won him his first ever Masters' title. Phil Mickelson came in third and fought hard to try and take the lead but he just couldn't pull it out because Watson and Oosthuizen were two shots ahead. Today was close right until the end. There were eight different players in the hunt that could have won. Everyone thought Tiger Woods would be in the running today because he won the Arnold Palmer invitational. Woods ended the day plus five tied for 40th place along with Rory McIlroy. The Masters is always unpredictable. You just never know who is going to win it and that is what makes it exciting. There are always favorites but sometimes they don't win and there is someone playing little better that day that might come up and surprise you.

One down one to go

Men's college basketball comes to an exciting end. Kentucky defeated Kansas by only 8 points. Anthony Davis Naismith award winner only had 6 points but he had 16 rebounds. At one point Kentucky was winning by 18 points which proved to be too much for Kansas to over come. Kansas never gave up being led by Thomas Robinson who had 18 points and 17 rebounds and Tyshawn Taylor had 19 points. This was Taylor's last game but Robinson is only a junior and I believe he should stay another year but no one turns down money. In the second half Kansas came out riled up. They were playing defense and throwing Kentucky off their game. There was a glimmer of hope for Kansas when they came within five points. They just couldn't get over that 18 point lead. The referees were also making it hard for Kansas to make a full comeback by calling everything on Kansas and letting Kentucky get away with everything. There were some missed fouls but the blame does not fall fully on the refs. Kansas should have been playing with the same defensive intensity in the first half that they were playing with in the second half. If Kansas would have gotten their fast break offense going Kentucky would not have been able to keep up. Kentucky was winded in the second half and couldn't keep up with Kansas that's how they got back in the game. So what has been bothering me this whole time is that everyone has been talking about how Bill Self and John Calipari met in the Championship game before but how can they talk about that game when the wins leading up to that game were taken away from Calipari? Did everyone forget about that? They are talking about Calipari's legacy what legacy? This is his first ever National Championship win. He had to vacate 42 wins from his time at Memphis and Massachusetts. Why hasn't anyone talked about that this whole tournament? I'm not a fan of John Calipari and i feel they need to bring up his vacated wins before they can talk about his legacy. You can't just forget that he had to vacate a good amount of victories in his career. I won't take anything away from the play of Kentucky because they have played really well all season and played as a team. Those players deserve it even though i would have liked to see Thomas Robinson and Tyshawn Taylor win the Championship. Both of these teams had an amazing year and congrats to both of them. Even though if UNC wouldn't have lost Kendall Marshall and would have beat Kansas their would have been a different outcome to this Championship. I'm just saying lol!! Lets watch this girl's game tonight hopefully it will be as exciting and won't be a blow out.
