Down To Two

The ACC started out with ten teams playing in the 2016 NCAA baseball  Tournament.  The Southeastern started with seven.  More than 25% to make the tournament came from those two conferences.  Eight teams are in Omaha and only two come from the big two conferences Florida and Miami.  That's still 25 % of the teams still in the tournament which is right on average.

The big winner is the Big 12.  Started with three and three are still in.  The Pac 12 has one team and the Mountsin West and  Big South round out the field.  It takes about ten days before there is only one team standing.  Having watch Coastal last weekend in Raleigh and watching them in the Super they are just as good as anybody else.  I'm pulling for them.

Don't forget Wednesday night Coleman  Pitt Post 58 will host Apex in a division game at Legion Field.  Looks like there might be weather issues.  As if I have had a summers full of rain delays watching the Raleigh Regional.  Hope rain comes early so we can play ball on time.

Did the suspension given to Draymond Greene enough to get the Cleveland Cavs that little edge they need.  I think it was obvious that in the fourth quarter that without the man in the middle Cleveland could drive to the basket any time they wanted.  The Warriors had a fourth quarter where the long range shooters could not make anything. I doubt that happens again. I'm taking Warriors in six still.

If there is one thing for sure the NBA game would be better if they didn't have refs.  How in the world can both LeBron and Dray wrestle the way they did and nothing get called 20 seconds before they finally called something .  Some of the calls made are fathom calls where nothing happened and there are those where blood flys and no calls.  Because of the quality of the how the games are called it drags the game down.  Five steps and no traveling it makes for a bad quality of a game. Have  a hard time sitting through watching more than about five minutes at a time and I have to cut it off.
