Birds Will Meet

The Oregon Ducks have survived past the Oklahoma Sooners and non the Saint Louis Billikens. The Ducks have a challenging obstacle ahead of them though, the Louisville Cardinals. Can they do it?

The Billikens and Ducks game is what I would like to discuss. Arsalan Kazemi and Damyean Dotson carried the Ducks on their shoulders.  Kazemi with 16 rebounds and 8 points, and Dotson with 23 points. For the Billikens their leader Dwayne Evans played well, but not well enough. Evans had 16 points and 9 rebounds, Kwamain Mitchel did what he could to help out with 18 points for the Billikens. It would en with Oregon on top 57-74.

In other news, the the Arizona Wildcats speed by the Harvard Crimson with a run of 30-9 to close it out. Mark Lyons had more help than anybody in this Arizona win, Lyons had 27 points and Solomon Hill had quite a say with 10 rebounds and 13 points for the Wildcats. The Crimsons' truly best player was Kenyatta Smith, Smith had 10 points and 5 rebounds being the only player in double digits for the Crimson, in the loss of 51-74.

The NCAA March Madness tournament carried on last night with New Mexico Falling 62-68 against Harvard, with The New Mexico Lobos' Alex Kirk putting on  a show with 22 points and 12 rebounds leading all players in both categories that game. But, the Harvard Crimson had 4 players in double figures including, Kenyatta Smith, Wesley Saunders, Christian Webster, Laurent Rivard.

The Syracuse Orange had so far the biggest win of the tournament they took it with a score of 81-34 against the Montana Grizzlies. The Grizzlies had no players with more than five points. Syracuse' Brandon Triche took charge this game with 20 points and 4 steals.

One of the closest games yet was The California Golden Bears beating the UNLV Rebels. The Rebels only lost the war by 3 points, 61-64 when their strong leader Anthony Bennet lead them with 15 points and 11 rebounds. But, The California Golden Bears Allen Crabbe put up 19 points and 9 rebounds pushing them to victory.

After Trey Burke's painful fall he came out of the game and he came back able to play and he continued to lead his Michigan Wolverines to victory over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Glenn Robinson III and Tim Hardaway Jr. had the largest impacts on the game. Hardaway had 21 points and 4 rebounds while Robinson grabbed 6 boards off the shelf and got 21 points as well. That was a large help in their teams prevail of 71-56.

VCU had a massive win almost as big as Syracuse' but, one points less. They beat the Akron Zips 88-42 in a shocker. Troy Daniels was a huge power player this game scoring 23 points and 5 rebounds. His teammate on VCU , Juvonte Reddic had 21 points and 6 rebounds. For the Zips their forward, Demtrius, Treadwell had 15 points and 7 rebounds.
