The Blog is back at a great time

Hey guys the blog is back and it is fresh. Time to get to tonight's action. Of course it is college basketball championship night but there are two things I'm gonna discuss first. So the schedule for tonight is first a NASCAR update, second some Yankees baseball talk, and finally my thoughts about tonights game between Butler and UCONN. Yesterday, Kevin Harvick won the sprint cup race at Martinsville, Virginia. He struggled early before rallying late to pass Kyle Busch (3) and Dale Jr. (2) to win his second straight race. In these races he has led a total of 7 laps a NASCAR record. Now I will break down the first series of the Yankees season against the Detroit Tigers. In game one on Opening Day CC Sabathia took the mound against Justin Verlander. CC picked up the win 6-3 behind homers by Mark Texieria and Curtis Granderson. The player who really shined was new catcher Russell Martin. He had two hits and a stolen base. The Yankees went onto to win game 2 Saturday by a score of 9-4 behind a solid performance by AJ and another Tex homer. The winning streak ended when they lost yesterday in a 10-7 slug-fest with Phil Hughes struggling on the mound giving up two homers to Miguel Cabrera. The bright note for the Yankees was DH Jorge Posada hitting two homers. Tomorrow I will break down game 1 of the Twins and the Yankees that starts tonight at 7:05 with Scott Baker vs. Ivan Nova. My last topic for the night is the NCAA mens basketball championship game. Tonight at 9:23 8. Butler will take on 3. UCONN. There are a few keys to watch during the game. 1. If anyone can who will effectively defend Kemba Walker? I believe there are two possibilities of the first man to defend Walker. Either Ronald Nored or Vanzant. Some said maybe Mack will guard him but Brad Stevens is too smart to make that mistake. If Mack guards Walker Mack will run out of energy and his offense is necessary for Butlers success. Two more points. 2. Can enough players complement the leading scorers Mack and Walker? I think UCONN will have an easier job of this with the Lamb and Napier in the game. Both of these guys have scored more in the tournament than that of the Bulldogs role players. If Hann and Howard can get into double figures Butler will be in good shape. 3. Rebound and Freethrows. These two factors will decide the winners. I feel Oriaki will out rebound Howard so UCONN will win that stat, but Butler being a well determined and focused team that shoots well from the line will win if they have a lead late. I got Butler winning 70-64 behind a big game by Mack. Stevens is the man Howard will do something big late. Thanks for reading check me out tomorrow and leave me some questions. I'm Out!
