Four On The Floor

Like four wallops of a bass drum, this year’s Final Four teams pack plenty of Oomph – and they’ll be bringing that big, bad beat to Detroit Rock City.

North Carolina, Connecticut, Michigan State and Villanova are all burly, bruising powerhouses with national championships under their belts.

In fact, no matter which team wins the year’s national title, it will be the tenth crown this fearsome foursome has put up on the board in the last thirty years, meaning a third of all recent national championships will be represented by the teams competing in this Final Four.

From ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski:

“That’s how it used to be,” said UConn forward Jeff Adrien. “There’s no Cinderellas this year.”

Cinderella wouldn’t make it past curfew with this Final Four. These bruisers would take her tiara and use it to pick their teeth. It’s a Final Four with pedigree, personality and muscle mass.

We’re glad this Final Four is at Ford Field, too. In the midst of an Armageddon-sized market correction, Ford has shown true grit by refusing to ask for billions in government bailouts.

They deserve some good earned media for that.

But the Final Four isn’t about politics, it’s about hoops. And it’s about your bracket.

Three games – one winner.

May the best bruiser (and bracket) win!
