4/6/09- TWD's Agenda For The Day: NCAA Final Two Title Game Preview

After their meeting in December (which has been talked about in ad nauseum more than tying in the "emotional" lift Michigan State has given the city of Detroit with their play), only few would have thought that the Spartans would be standing with the Tar Heels on the final night of the season.

The stage was set for the Big East to reign supreme, with the Tar Heels being the only ones that could stop the powerhouse conference (and even if there is no representative form the Big East in the final game, you would be foolish to dismiss it as still not being the best conference, or the one with the most supreme depth).

Nevertheless, the mastery of Tom Izzo, along with Travis Walton Velcro-like defending and the Achilles heels of almost all the number one seed Big East teams (free throw shooting) has led to those celebrating the fact that the much ballyhooed "toughest conference ever" won't even have a single representative in the final game. 10 for 18 for Louisville against the Spartans, 21 for 29 for Pittsburgh against 'Nova, and 21 for 33 for UConn this past Saturday.

The charity strip certainly wasn't charitable at all to the preseason numbers two, three and four respectively. And their unintentional generosity has been a hidden reason for the magic run the Spartans (and the Wildcats) have had.

But that's the end of all the Big East talk for now. Later on, we shall have a preview of the men's final and predictions here on TWD.
