Hoping for Maturity and Mental Toughness to Shock March Madness!

As I sit and watch this years March Madness- I strongly root for the FIELD! I am pulling for the Fundamental and Intelligent Badgers, the Izzo Tough Spartans, the Sharp Shooting Irish, the Secondary Break Running Heels, and the Hard Nosed Shockers. All of these teams bring a since of urgency and style that I enjoy to watch. I would like very badly to see one of these groups knock off the GIANTS- KENTUCKY! Why do I want to see Kentucky lose? Because I want Bob Knight's Indiana team to remain as the team to be compared to each year...A team that ran Motion offense..Not a Kentucky that has the tallest team probably in the history of the NCAA. I am not taking anything away from what they have accomplished to this point- they are great shot blockers, great rebounders, and great dunkers. However, I am still not convinced that they are the most poised, or the most qualified to win it all! I do admire that they have had many contributors to their success, and it is an unbelievable accomplishment for them to be 36-0. However, my hope is that a more experienced, more fundamental, and more mentally tough team will Shock the world in Louisville or Indianapolis!
