This is just a tribute to the 14th, 15th and 16th seeds of the 2009 NCAA Tournament for giving all the Goliath top seeded teams a run for their money (David and Goliath, get it?). This year, aside from the massacres in the UConn vs. Chattanooga game and the UNC vs. Radford game, the lower seeded teams played very well(Chattanooga & Radford get no love). I mean, they have just about no chance in hell of beating these top seeded teams, but they still play very hard and hung with these teams until almost the very end. Most of the times, these games are usually like a bye for the top seeds, but not this year.
The reason i don't also tribute the 12th and 13th seed of the tournament is because historically, these teams are known for making 1st round upsets. Those teams still get love. Just not in this blog entry.
The team I was most proud of out of the bottom seeded teams would have to be Cal State Northridge. Now, I've actually seen them play in person, and they lost to my school, Long Beach State, so I figured Memphis would run them out the gym. They proved me and the rest of the world completely wrong however. I remember checking my phone while at school and my jaw dropped when i seen Northridge up in the second half. The basketball players at my school were so mad that Northridge had almost upset Memphis. I guess they figured they were better than Northridge so they would of beat Memphis.
I Just want to congratulate all the teams who upset other teams and all the future upsets to come in this tournament.
I also want to pour out a little liquor for all low seeded teams who fought hard, and lost
R.I.P Stephen F. Austin, Cornell, North Dakota State, American Univ., Morgan State, CSU Northridge, Robert Morris, Binghampton, Morehead State, & East Tennessee State.
Good luck next year!
