After many ankle-breaking crossovers and ridiculous buzzer beaters, it’s finally time for the Final Four. March Madness has been shocking this year, and players such as Kemba Walker have really put on a show.
As for most of our brackets, it isn’t pretty. We’re looking at you, Butler and VCU. If your bracket emerges intact, it’s likely that you are actually a wizard or that you tossed a coin for each game, because ours are decimated.
In the next few days we will see a close to the tournament. It’s always cool to see the underdog go far in NCAA, and VCU has shocked all with its ascension to the Final Four.
Perhaps this might become a prevalent trend in basketball, including the NBA. With any luck, the inevitable result will be that the Clippers will shock everyone by making the playoffs.
But if that does end up happening, it will be a run more improbable than VCU and Butler’s combined.
We can only hope that such enormous luck for sports underdogs doesnt spill over into high school sports and tarnish the almost-perfect season record of Costa’s boys volleyball and baseball teams.
In semi-related news, another competition is heating up. Due to Mustang Morning News’ failure to coordinate a basketball game with us, La Vista has turned to other competitive addictions.
In addition to our competitive basketball league, B.O.O.Y.A.H. would like to officially announce the creation of the La Vista Pokemon League, which is currently holding a tournament for the first generation of Pokemon Gameboy games.
If MMN refuses to compete against us on the court, then it is obvious that we should take this battle to the Gameboys and instead battle with our Pokemon. The pokeball is in your stadium, MMN; accept the challenge.
To be completely honest, Pokemon has reduced La Vista’s productivity to that of a snorlax, and most of our editors are busy training. While the Charmander vs Bulbasaur debate rages on, there is one thing we can all agree on: Squirtle is the worst starter.
Our competition is sure to be more exciting and intense than the treacherous walk through Veridian Forest. MMN, we know you want to be the master of Pokemon, but do you have the skills to be number one?
