It's midnight...it's the ball...Cinderella's got to "book" because we all know what will happen...she loses her slipper...and for a few seconds she realizes that her faith in that dream that the rainbow will come true is in jeopardy.But she knows if you keep believing the dream..that wish will come true..
Well the "ball" is the NCAA womans dance.And there are some teams in the third round that are all like Cinderella stories. Of course the one with Marist's Lady Red Foxes is a storybook in itself.Knowing the coach and having played against him and 2 of his players siblings playing against my daughters on the court make the fairy tale even more realistic.But Marist isn't the only Cinderella team playing.
The boys dominate the "Ball" or should I say "dance".And rightfully so.Many fans can't watch womans basketball and I understand that too.You have to be a little loco to get into womans hoops.But if you read some of the stories out there about some of the womans programs and what they did this week it;s pretty intresting.To recap...Marist of course knocked off Ohio St..Big-10 power..then took in Mid Tenn and its 27 game win streak..tomorrow they meet Pat Summits Tenn Vols where she is 40-0 in 1st and 2nd rd games.I'll come back to my Red Foxes representing of course my favorite conf the MAAC.
But there is Bowling Green in the other MAC who was 0-11 vs SEC teams and then go on to upset Vandy.
No MAC team has ever advanced pass the 2nd rd.They have 3 seed Zona St tonite who is loaded
Florida St knocks off the mighty Stanford in Palo Alto with 3 sophs and 1 frosh starting.Last year Coach Semrau camped outside in a tent near the gym for 2 days selling basketball tickets so they could sell out there last home game.Tonite around 11.30 pm just about an half hour before midnite FSU takes on the mighty Tigers of LSU.Who would ever think in a year how things turn around..
Mississippi Rebs who back in Nov played Maryland ,defending national champs with all 5 starters back and got beat by 31 pts.And at the "ball" in the 2nd dance force the Terps with 20 turnovers....in the 1st half...and elimanate the defending champions.And Miss's top player Price had to wear a "flap" over her shorts because her mother who was gravely ill and strict pentacostal follower. The mother pased away and i think she doesn't wear the flap anymore.
There are a lot of stories with the womans "ball", Kay Yows NC St Pack beat Baylor..Both seeded high but Yow has stage 4-breast cancer.They have UConn tonite but you can bet Yows kids will play 110%.
Although Rutgers has had a good team over the years and they play No 1 Duke...those dukies better watch out.This is a good Scarlet Knight team and I love the +11.5 ..I'll capp it later..they play on Sunday..
Well..these teams like Marist,Bowling Green,Fl St,Miss,NC St and Geo Washington ...all do have something in common with a dance and Cinderella..today and tomr..they will keep there dream that they have and wish it will come through. I also hope the slipper stays on a little longer..
Will be back later and capp a few in both dances..last nite was 3-0 until USC collapse..
