1990 UNLV is the number-one overall seed in Hoops 4 the Soul’s Sweet Sixteen Tournament featuring the past 16 (make that 18) NCAA champions. The Runnin’ Rebels are yawning over its first round opponent, the overachieving 1998 Kentucky Wildcats. CBS has slotted this West Regional game at The Pit in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the 6:35 time slot, so that Dick Vitale and the whole nation will finally get the opportunity to watch a Duke-North Carolina game in primetime.

A Sweet 16 Tournament of the Last 18 NCAA Champions
Filed Under Tourney History, NCAA Basketball | 1 Comment
Alright, here’s the premise. Sweet Sixteen Tournament of the last 18 NCAA Champions (with repeat champions Florida in 2006 and 2007 and Duke in 1991 and 1992 each being combined into one team). Seedings are based on my opinions of best champions and not-so-hot champions (make that teams who may have gotten hot at the right time). Game Previews to come. Tournament starts early next week.

Back from the Dead!

It’s been years (make that months) since my last post. I’m sure you’ve gotten along just fine without me. Will this comeback from retirement be like Jordan 1995-1998, Jordan 2001-2003 or even worse Sandberg 1996-1997?
