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.

More March Madness news will be out as soon as possible!

Atlantic 10- Butler is Demolished

The Butler Bulldogs put up a great fight against the surprisingly strong Saint Louis Billkens. The Billkens only had a two point lead at the half, but that lead grew large fast. The Billkens outscored the Bulldogs by 9 in the second half.

The Bulldogs starting five were so week only two of them had points! If it weren't for Rotnei Clarke they would have lost by much for than 11. Clarke had 16 points and 5 rebounds making him the only player in double figures. On the other hand, the Billkens had a very strong starting five with two of them with double figures in points and one with 11 rebounds. In fact Dwayne Evans had a double-double with 11 rebounds and 24 points. Cody Ellis, a starter as well, had 13 points and 5 rebounds.

The final score was 67 to 56 with the Atlantic 10 being won by the Saint Louis Billkens. If the Bulldogs had a second chance to play the Billkens do you think they would win? I do. Post your opinion in the comments!
