Brandon King

Well I can admit it, I was wrong. If you read my earlier piece from today, you know I predicted that North Carolina would win tonight’s national championship game against Villanova.

I enjoyed every second of it but I must admit I completely abhor  the play-in games with a passion. The formula for getting in the field of 64 ( I still call it that because if you are truly in the field, you don’t have to engage…

In their game earlier this week against Baylor, the Ducks took the court in team exclusive KD 8’s. The yellow upper serves as a backdrop for the pine tree graphics that adorn the floor of the basketball court. The same yellow is also used on the KD logo on the tongue. Kelly Green is the hue of the flywire, swoosh and tongue. Consider these another reason…
