Collegiate basketball has flaunted brawn and brainwaves via full court fulfillment for final say to who’s number one in Division 1. The star wattage of the title teams from Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina, and UCLA have trekked to San Antonio, Texas with that guilded Number 1 seed preceding their University’s alias. March Madness moves to April and the ubiquitous tourney ends at the Alamo journey.

Your basketball meta physician will provide you with an introspective perspective on the Final Four Fury which orbits around the hoops game.

UCLA Bruins: The URSA Major The Bear Constellation

The University of California at Los Angeles men’s basketball team has the brightest star in this Final Four polarity based on their 11 National Championships and third consecutive Final Four appearance under Coach Ben Howland. During various cycles of time the 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s, and the 21st century the Bruins have appeared in National Championship games with the consistency of Ursa Major. The constellation Ursa Major contains the group of stars commonly called the Big Dipper. The handle of the Dipper is the Great Bear’s tail and the Dipper’s cup is the Bear’s flank. The Big Dipper is not a constellation itself, but an asterism, which is a distinctive group of stars.

Another famous asterism is the Little Dipper in the constellation Ursa Minor. The Big Dipper in UCLA’s basketball mojo has been Kevin Love. Love is the best outlet passer to appear in basketball since the dynamic Wes Unseld. Love can stand out of bounds and hit the opposite backboard with an overhead pass with the consistency of Black Holes altering time and space. Love has been kicking down doors and staking claim on all interior post play with loveless affection for all Madness opponents.

The controlled fury that is Love is flanked in the UCLA galaxy by West coast defensive overlord Russell Westbrook and hoops linguist Luc Mbah a Moute.

The little dipper is Darren Collison who is the retro throwback with high top astro burners. Collison has never lost a regional NCAA tournment game in his three years as the Bruin’s preeminent principal point.

Coach Howland’s Bruins breathlessly seeks the breakthrought to attain their full dozen Gold crown.

Memphis: Capitol of Ancient Egypt

John Calipari’s basketball army sporting blue and white uniforms have arrived in Texas with a garish 37-1 record. The men of Memphis roll their hoops chariot into San Antonio with the singular eye to rule over college hoops with the completeness that Ancient Egypt ruled the Ancient World. Egypt, where the word chemistry derives, is what drives Memphis mutual magnetism of innovative on floor mobility that can not be cloned lyrically.

Memphis, with Derrick Rose the crown Prince of point guards, Chris Douglas Roberts the viceroy of wing magnificence, and Joey Dorsey the Nubian warrior, have found their star body destiny when they square off with UCLA.

Former UCLA coach John Wooden has the copyright on his famed Pyramid of success but does not have the copyright on the Tigers of Memphis who played their home games in The Pyramid and seemed to be charged with galactic energy. The Tiger’s have played quick, flawless, and hyper confident rondball that mirror the dead eye confidence of an Ancient archer that was the keynote intellect of Khemetian palace defense.

Defense is what drives the Tigers with their ferocious and tireless pressure that feeds itself off character flaws in opponent’s mental makeup. Coach Calipari calibrates that his team is mental giants of his hoops school and cultured on timeless ancient basketball wisdom.

Kansas: The Self

Kansas Jayhawks head coach Bill Self has eclipsed a brand no big time program coach seeks and that’s the “best coach to never have coached in the Final Four.” Self’s typically selfless team played a cluster of clever games players at the University where Dr. James Naismith first pinned a peach basket piloting the eventuality of 2008 Final Four Fury. Coach Self, who will match wits with his predecessor and current UNC Coach Roy Williams, has victory on his mind for a multitude of definitions.

Kansas’ confidence in the Self supported see it it for yourself selfless up and down style has proven self worthy.

Don’t let the Smooth Taste…

The North Carolina Tarheels have vanquished and victimized all challengers seeking to dispute their 36 victory volume. North Carolina’s Tyler Hansbrough and his wide-eyed optical glare which supports his “Psycho T” moniker have been mowing down opponents with a lawnmower man mayhem. Hansbrough’s inspired play so far in the Tournament caused CBS game analyst Jay Bilas to offer this dazzling detail, “I played against Michael Jordan while at Duke and Michael Jordan was not the competitor Tyler Hansbrough is.”

Wow, heavy praise for Hansborough to be prepositioned with the Tarheel great Michael Jordan who’s gear Roy Williams players adorn.

Roy Williams was an assistant coach for Dean Smith when Michael Jordan hit a game winning jumpshot as a freshman which rewarded Coach Smith with his first National Championship.

Williams won 81% of his games and coached in four Final Four’s while basketball lecturing in Lawrence. Williams, with his “aw shucks” druthers, belies his basketball genius and shoves it down the opposition’s throat with his coaching style.

Williams has UNC whipped into top flight status and has already mentioned his love for Kansas.
