I hate to sound bored about an event I generally pump up, but the NCAA tournament kinda fell short for me this year. I’m not saying that because Georgia Tech was knocked out in the first round — making my Final Four prediction a bad one — but rather because there just wasn’t that moment that really defined the tournament as a great one.

And the Final Four this year — though not nearly as bad as last year — was hardly anything that made you hold your breath. The UCLA/Florida game was less than exciting, and, even though it was fairly close, the same can be said of the Ohio State/Georgetown game. In the end, we’re left with the same champion we had last year, after winning a game that wasn’t very suspenseful. There were times when you thought The Ohio State University would make a run, but there was never really a time where you felt they would win (that was my feeling, at least).

As sad as it sounds, the most entertaining part of this entire Final Four was after the game, when Joakim Noah was yelling into the microphone that Florida’s going to do it hard, all day, all night. . . that “y’all don’t know what I’m talkin’ about, but we’re gonna do it hard.” I’m yet to figure out what exactly Joakim means — I think CBS is in the same boat as me — but will have his comments up as soon possible; I’m hoping Youtube comes through for me on this one.

Anyway, there you have it: Florida beats down Ohio State. Again. If you think Buckeye fans hate Michigan more than any other school, then you haven’t been paying too much attention the last four months.

Congrats, Gators. Hope it was nice winning three national titles in a year. While your football team is still in tact, there’s a very good chance your basketball team will be without its starting five or its head coach. Though I’d enjoy seeing a team like this all come back — minus Lee Humphrey, of course — I think I’d rather see a fan-base gone spoiled come back to reality. It’s nothing against Florida — I just hate that it never seems to be my team that turns into a dynasty; though I’m guessing a big part of that is that I root for Georgia Tech.
