NCAA March Madness 2024, Part 2

9 Apr

The NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship is over, and my prediction fell flat. Hahaha. My earlier choices to advance to the Finals did not survive the Sweet Sixteen and Final Four stages.

And the team that I was rooting for in the Finals were not the champions. A heartache for the best player to end her college basketball career, but that’s life. Like golf, the ball is round, and anything can happen. Regardless, she has my utmost respect and awe.

A whole new world awaits some of these talented young ladies who are Seniors and graduating. The prospect of playing professionally in the WNBA looks good, and the women’s basketball league has never been more exciting!

I relish my renewed interest in women’s college basketball and look forward to the March Madness next year.

March Madness All Over Again, Part 2

4 Apr

The 2019 NCAA Basketball Tournament is drawing to a close soon. The better seeded teams lived up to their billing in the Sweet 16 round of this year’s Women’s Division 1 basketball. Unfortunately, M1’s university did not make it pass this round. Their best performance was in 2016 when they made it to the Final Four.

This year, my prediction picks for the Women’s Division 1 were spot on for three out of the four that qualified for the Final Four. May the best team wins!

And now that M1 has completed her undergrad studies, I am indecisive if I will continue to follow basketball, her alma mater or even the NCAA thereafter. Also because M2 being in Ireland, basketball is not a big thing at her college, the interest in the game may diminish once the NCAA concludes. We shall see. After all, there are still some good teams out there to follow.
