Its time for bracketology again

Thursday night the US College basketball was moving back into the spotlight with March Madness, the annual tournament of the 64 best teams for the national title kicking off. With the crowds in the arena being noisy and loud to a level it hurts and the players on the court being fully motivated the nickname of the tournament has a very strong fundament.

Markus has been following the season relatively closely thanks to the subscription to ESPN America and realised that the NCAA Division I was lacking key characters in the season 2010. After a very strong class of 2009 a lot of players left college hoops behind and either finished their college career or opted early for the big money in the NBA. Some of them like Tyreke Evans or Stephen Curry managed to become important players in their Rookie season in the world's best an most spectacular league while highly ranked players like Blake Griffin(out due to an injury), Tyler Hansbrough or Hasheem Thabeet have not taken off (yet).

The destination each of the 64 teams wants to reach: Indianapolis

While the NCAA tournament will for sure be a very intense and interesting set of games where players like Sherron Collins and Marcus Morris (Kansas Jayhawks), John Wall, Patrick Patterson and DeMarcus Cousins (Kentucky Wildcats), Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler (Duke Blue Devils), Andy Rautins and Wes Johnson (Syracuse Orange) will have to do their best to reach the Final Four in Indianapolis in early April. Markus believes that Kentucky, albeit the team is very young yet talented, has best chances to crown themselves national champion with John Wall being the Naismith College Player of the Year. The next weeks bring clarity and Markus will be there to follow the developments.
