The weekend that was

What a weekend in the sports world. We saw many intriguing things that we can discuss. First off the Duke and North Carolina game. UNC upset Duke at home in convincing fashion to clinch the ACC Title. This game was a great one to watch. You got to see upstart PG Marshall running the show for the Tar Heels. But if anyone was truly paying attention many of us knew the game was over long before the final buzzer went off. This was seen through the poor 3 point shooting by the Blue Devils. The Blue Devils minus Seth Curry were 0-16 from deep. With Curry they shot 6-27. That is a measly 22%. In all of their losses this year they have shot under 30% from behind the arc. Message to Coach K on this topic. I'm only saying it once and then I will never mention it again. This is a bold statement but its true. Coach K if you didn't preach the 3-pointer as much as you do you would NEVER LOSE A GAME. That's all I am saying no more grilling Coach K. To finish up yesterday just want to give a shout out to Danica Patrick on her 4th place finish in the Vegas Race. Setting the mark as the best finish by a female driver in NASCAR history. Now to today the game every one will be talking about Bulls vs. Heat. This game came down to the last seconds and once again the Bulls win over the Heat and LeBron James making poor decisions for the Heat late. For anyone that didn't watch the game LeBron James missed a left handed forced layup late and the Heat lost by one. I don't know what LeBron was thinking but he was never gonna make that layup against three Bulls in the lane. I know some of you are blaming Wade too for missing the jumper at the buzzer. Come on the guy scrapped for the ball, waltzed out of bounds, luckily got a no call and then threw up an unset fade away at the buzzer. He wouldn't of even had to force that shot if LeBron wasn't playing streetball instead of looking for open teammates. LeBron is just a straight Ball Hog and will never play well with other good guys enough to win a championship. Enough on him time to answer a few fan questions. Mike asks if Jeter will return from his subpar year and hit like he has before? Mike, Jeter will rebound some this year as he will see better pitches wih possibly Nick Swisher batting behind him. I do not think he will have a .330 year but he will have a .310-.315 year. The key is to work the count and go the other way like he always has. Mike also asks about Fab Melo's break out day yesterday. I wasn't surprised by this performance but I feel that he needs to keep putting up similar numbers to make Syracuse good and for added confidence for next year. Thanks for reading ask questions this week about Bubble teams, NBA action, or anything else. This week is conference tournament week so there will be extended coverage on those games. Thanks and I hope you enjoy this great week of sports.
