A little something to get you mid major college basketball fans fired up for this coming season. While ODU will most likely have a down year compared to previous year, watching Kent Bazemore play his senior season will be a blessing for us all. Enjoy this highlight video and keep in mind that we are less than a month away from actual college basketball games!
While last year concluded rather anti-climactically for us here at tourneybubble with Odu losing in the first round, VT getting left out of the tourney and one of our arch nemesis's here at TB winning the national championship (UCONN and the loathesome Jim Calhoun) we still enjoyed the season for what it was, a fantastic college basketball season. Even though VCU is ODU's arch nemesis, their run to the Final 4 combined with Butler making it to the Championship was very reassuring in the sense that anyone has a chance to win the tourney if they get in and have a decent enough draw.
Nothing here at Tourneybubble pisses us off more than to see a tournament bracket go chalk and while the wrong team won the national championship (shitty ass Uconn), at least it was refreshing to see two teams in the Final 4 who were given NO CHANCE to be there.
With that in mind, we will soon start our season preview of the upcoming 2011-12 season, complete with mid-major, BCS and possibly even a low major or two who might be pushing their way onto the tournament bubble this year. As an added bonus for your reading enjoyment, Tyler and I are going to try and liveblog a few more big time games this year, especially games that could have a big impact on the bubble for the rest of the year. The Virginia Tech-GMU game is a strong bubble game, with potential at-large impact for both the CAA and the ACC this year, much like Clemson ODU was last year. This will most likely be the first game we attempt to live blog for this upcoming year.
Feel free to join us and check back during the coming days for our season preview. Enjoy the Bazemore video, La Flama Blanca out.
