Been really busy, this will be a shorter post than I would like but, what can you do? I promise to have a beer post on Sunday, news and possibly my new homebrew recipe. BCO misses game 1 due to my daughter's violin concert. Yes, a 3 year old can take violin and wreck one's $EC football Championship or Final 4 viewing wants.
One Shining Moment ....

| From BCO Pix2 |
The Final 4, who wins, the BCO will measures 'em up based on a 6 categories (scale 1-5 for each category.)
Criteria
- Offense - good and clutch rates high
- Defense - can they lock 'em down and tough
- Intangibles - ummm, ida know are they play say a home game?
- Beer - Craft brewing in the state, mo' local the better.
- Wiminz - general rep of campus hotties
- General Bias - does the BCO like 'em
Game 1
UConn
 |
| From BCO Pix2 |
- Offense - slightly above average, a lil better now than when Dyson first went out. 3.5
- Defense - Thabeet and Adrian send a lot of shots back at ya, misses Dyson here too, but not as much as on O. 4.5
- Intangibles - winning for Calhoun, they all got paid by him too, so stand up strong. 4
- Beer - ehhh, 1 of the worst beers states in the Northeast. 2.5
- Wiminz - state public school is good, northeast is bad. 3.5
- General Bias - Calhoun is a northerner prick, sister lives in the state so I will be nice. 2
vs
MissAgain St
 |
| From BCO Pix2 |
- Offense - lots of players who are solid to good, no stud. careful with the ball. 3.5
- Defense - Outstanding, tempo controlling, deep. 4.5
- Intangibles - playing at home, focused. 5
- Beer - Bell's, Founders, Jolly Pumpkin, best in the midwest only behind Colorado, Cali and Oregon nationally. 5
- Wiminz - state public school is good, midwest is ok. 4
- General Bias - Indifferent, though the BCO did almost apply there in h.s. for some unknown reason. 3
Game 2
UNC
 |
| From BCO Pix2 |
- Offense - As good as any team in 20 years, 6 guy could legitamately score 15+ any game, half do. inside, outside, transition, half court, with multiple options for each. 5
- Defense - not great but impressive vs OU. Definitely getting better. 3.5
- Intangibles - Hansbrough, Ellington, Green and Lawson all came back for a shot to go out with a ring. 4
- Beer - Not great, but getting better. Almost on campus Top of the Hill is good, Pisgah brewing saves the state's ass, I will be generous. 3
- Wiminz - Very, very good, lots of grade A talent on Franklin Street, often in sundresses. 4.5
- General Bias - got no problem with UNC, hate the calls they get, but I like the campus. 4.5
vs
Nova
 |
| From BCO Pix2 |
- Offense - spread em, attack the rack, outside shooting, only 1 post guy. 4
- Defense - small, but quick, tough, strong, switching everything. UNC will have to earn it. 4.5
- Intangibles - a little more than happy to be there, lots of seniors. 3.5
- Beer - Good stuff all throw the state, Victory, Weyebaucher, etc. Strong. 4.5
- Wiminz - small, northeasternish, city school, I am sure their are some but avg at best nationally. 2.5
- General Bias - fun team to watch, tough and fights for respect vs more well known conference team. 4
Saturday's Predictions
MissAgain State pulls the upset vs UConn 64-58 in game 1.
UNC wins vs Nova in the 2nd game in a close 1. 82 - 77.
Monday's Prediction
Not a commonly known fact, but getting tickets for the Championship game is far easier than the Semi's (right Ryan and Kiker.) Basically, the fans of the losers on Saturday dump their tickets (sorta like Clemson fans use to do after the play in game in the ACC tourney before Purnell got there.) Well if MSU gets there, those tickets will be HOT and the Monday game much more so than the Saturday game really could be full of Green. Back in December UNC hammered MissAgain State in Ford Field by 35 as part of the ACC/big1+10 Challenge. Since then MSU has gotten a lot healthier and the youngens aren't green anymore. This potential game will be a lot closer. It will come down to who imposes whose will on the other.
UNC will win in a low scoring game by their standards in tight fashion, say 76-71. Redeeming the ACC a bit for the lousy tournament performance.

You better upgrade that wiminz score for 'Nova before my wife see it!
i didn't say there were no hotties ... but you can't compare a small private school to large public schools, and southern schools are really, really good.
