Tennessee head coach Cuonzo Martin may get a job offer from Marquette University.Wow, that was fun. College basketball dealt us a weekend of nip-and-tuck, down-to-the-wire moments that reminded some of us why we loved college basketball back in the old days of teams starting four upperclassmen. You know, like 1994. Dinosaurs and everything.
While the drama of March Madness always delivers, the March basketball was better this year. At least it seems that way. And now the Final Four has been delivered to us.
We have the expected: No. 1 overall seed Florida is there.
We have the new kids who have found their roles, potential and promise: Preseason No. 1 Kentucky looked every bit that this past weekend, downing Louisville and Michigan in two great games.
We have the personification of a tried and tested tournament rule that the hottest player in the country can lift his mates to the Final Four regardless of seed: Playing the role of Kemba Walker is Shabazz Napier for UConn.
