My Alma Mater, The University of Texas - San Antonio (UTSA), won the Southland Conference Tournament giving them the automatic bid to the Big Dance. The last time Road Runner made it to the NCAA Tournament was back in 2004, where we played UCONN. Personally, I was hoping that we got The Big East Conference Tournament champions this year... I know I am crazy for that one... but I saw us matching up well against the Huskies. When you think of UCONN you think of the dynamic pg by the name of Kemba Walker, whom flat out gets it done on the offensive end. For those who have followed the Runners, follow the works of a dynamic pg by the name of Devin Gibson, whom can flat out get it done on the defensive. Devin, lead the nation in steals a season ago, and not to sleep on his "O" cuz the kid was the only player in the nation to record 2 triple doubles this season. I was really looking forward to this match-up, but the comity selected other wise. UCONN, are the recipients of a #2 seed in the West Region, and UTSA will face off against Alabama State for the "official" #16 seed in the East Region. I am not to fond of the new tournament setting they have in place for the first round. It feels like the tourny doesn't begin until the first round has been decided. The winner of UTSA and ALST, will try to slay the overall #1 team in the nation, Ohio State. Hey, anything is possible. Cinderella?!? We shall see!
IT'S ROAD RUNNER...BASKETBALL!
