Period 2 Basketball

Due Date: Wednesday, March 14th

So I am a huge college basketball fan and March Madness is just around the corner. I would like for you to get more familiar with college basketball and watch some games during this time. For this Blog, I need for you to tell me which team you think is going to win the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. I need for you to indicate to me 2players on that team that you feel are the strongest players (I need first and last names) and explain why. Additionally, please tell me what you think has made this particular team so successful this year. If you don't have a favorite college team, google search the top ten and pick one you like.

I think Duke is going to win the tournament. Two good players are Austin Rivers and Seth Curry. Austin Rivers and Seth Curry score alot and can drive well. Austin scoring 15.3 per game and Seth scoring 11.1 per game. We are good because we have alot of well rounded players, alot of Fowards and guards who move the ball well and can score.

Duke.
Austin Rivers-is a great all aroudn player and comes up big in the end of the game, he is also a freshman.
Seth Curry- He has been having an amzing shooting season and has improved a lot.

What has made this team so good is consistancy of the last years, they have a great program every year and it countinues to continue.

I think the UNC tar heels are going to win the NCAA tournament. There 2 strongest players are power forward Tyler Zeller and small forward Harrison Barnes. Zeller is a dominant post player on both ends of the floor and is a consistent double-double threat. Harrison Barnes is a scorer with very good range who can score from anywhere on the floor. He can both drive and shoot consistently. They have been so successful because of their combination of Talent and Experience which is Vital in the tournament.

I think North Carolina is gonna win it all.They have Tyler Zeller who is really tall so he can get lots of rebounds plus he is a good offensive player.Harrison Barnes is pretty good also. He can make it rain. I think theyll win cause they have cool colors and they returned a lot of experienced players.

It's hard to say but I say North Carolina, Kentucky and Syracuse because they have good coaches, team effort and make good plays. Personally I say North Carolina because they have Tyler Zeller:). Period 1 Lia Ajose

I think Duke is going to win because of their great coaching from Micheal Krzyzewski, or Coach K. Austin Rivers is one of their main players even as a freshman. Another great player is Seth Curry who is well rounded as a defensive and offensive player.

I think that the North Carolina Tar Heels will win the tournament because 2 of their excellent players are Harrison Barnes and John Henson.
Harrison Barnes has a very high number of points regularly. He also has high numbers in both offensive and defensive rebounds.
John Henson has excellent numbers in shooting, blocks, rebounds, and everything else.
I think that The North Carolina Tar Heels have been successful this season because as oppose to having a few great players they have several excellent players that all have individual strengths that support their winning

I think that UNC has the best chance of winning the tournament because of tyler zeller and harrison barnes/john henson. Zeller is a monster on the box and can dominate down low. Henson is also a guy that can grab 10+ rebounds a game and contribute on offense too. harrison barnes is good on offense offense and can help them win too. These players and more have made UNC one of the best this year

Duke.
Austin Rivers and Seth Curry have both been doing well, and are both very versatile players.

Duke is very well rounded and versatile, which lets them score all the time.

I think Syracuse is going to win because they have so much depth. The entire team has good chemistry with each other, and their players are well rounded such as Scoop Jardine and Kris Joseph.

I think Duke will win the NCAA tournament. They have Austin Rivers who is great at driving and shooting threes and they have Seth Curry who scores a lot and gets rebounds often. Duke has been so successful because they have a lot of good players and their players are well-rounded, they can play defense when they need to and they are great at scoring.

I believe that UNC is going all the way this year. With the forwards Tyler Zeller and John Henson. Both are great in the box and get 10+ rebounds frequently. They also make a lot of shots. In addition, we need Reggie Bullock to make shots, or we will be in trouble. UNC is a dangerous team that I believe will win this year.

I think that Duke could win the NCAA tournament because they have great inside/outside game. Players such as the plumlees, Rivers, and curry all show the versatility of Duke's offense.

I think UNC is going to win the tournament. Their 2 strongest players are Harrison Barnes and Tyler Zeller. Harrison Barnes is a really good shooter from basically anywhere. Tyler Zeller has a nice post game and is a good rebounder. They have been successful this year because they have a lot of talent throughout their whole team.

I say Kentucky is gonna win it because although the have a very young team they are very talented and each player knows their role. They will need Anthony Davis possible the best player in NCAA to be at his best and Marquis Teague to provide his teamates with the ball as well as score. They have had a good season due to the talent on the team.

I think UNC is going to win the tournament. They have many good players. for example, the Tar Heels have Harrison Barnes who averaged 17.4 points per game, and is just a great overall player. They also have John Henson, a great rebounder and defensive anchor.
The Tar Heels have been so successful this year because of the amount of raw talent on the team coupled with the experience of older players.

Kentucky is going to win because they are talented and well coached. Anothony davis is the best shot blocker in the nation. And Michael Kidd-gilchrist is a very good scorer.

i think Kentucky is going to win the NCAA tournament because their key player Antony Davis is an offensive threat as well as Marquis Teague because Davis can act as a gaurd and a center making him difficult to guard. Kentucky has good defense which will help them win the game

I think Syracuse is gonna win because they have 2 very good players like Scoop Jardin and Fab Melo. Scoop Jardin is a point guard and is good at driving to the basket and passing. Fab Melo is a Center and is also good because he is big and has a lot of post moves and gets rebounds. They have been succesful this year because they are very talented and and use teamwork.

I think FSU is going to win. Deividas Dolkys is a good player and offencive threat with his ability with three pointers. also Luke Locks is a great defensive player and has the ability of driving the ball if needed. This team is sucsessful this year because their ball passing is on point and usually leads up to a Dolkys 3 pointer.

I think Missouri will win the NCAA tournment this year. They start four gaurds who can shoot around a zone or man defense. Their leading scorers,Marcus Denmon and Kim English both are great 3pt shooters and will take advantage of any team who leaves them open.
