Albuquerque Regional Semi-Final Review

(4) Louisville 93 - (1) Washington 79
Louisville proved what we already knew, they are much better than a #4 seed. As retribution for their poor seeding they will have as easy an Elite-8 game as you can have against West Virginia (nothing against them, we love the play of West Virginia the past 3 weeks). Louisville was just too quick for Washington. Garcia just killed them. The foul trouble for Washington doomed any chance of a come back. Louisville just had an answer for every Washington run and was just the better team. Don't buy the garbage from the media that Washington wasn't a derserving #1 seed. Two #2 seeds didn't even make the Sweet-16, only 1 has a chance to make it farther than Washington, so don't single out Washington. Lets talk about Wake Forest if you want to talk about under acheivers or teams not getting the job done. At least Washington lost to a really good team instead of a tired team my Grandma could have outrun. Louisville will be the #2 favorite to make the Final Four behind North Carolina (if they win).

(7) West Virgina 65 - (6) Texas Tech 60
Even though it seems like I am disrespecting West Virginia, there is no team I have more respect for than West Virginia. What they have done is absolutely amazing. They went from a true bubble team to the Elite-8. They came back against Wake Forest even though they were exhausted and beat Texas Tech. Granted Texas Tech made some aweful decisions down the stretch, but West Virginia is just getting the job done. 3's were the difference here. 9 to 1 in West Virginia's favorite. Also West Virginia is playing like a team that wants to win. Texas Tech just didn't have the same passion, which is why West Virginia looked like the Elite-8 team and is the Elite-8 team.
