Well, you know spring is around the corner when we hit Selection Sunday and March Madness. Everyone seems to agree that this year’s tournament is wide open. There are excellent teams like Ohio State and Kansas, but we really don’t have a dominant team this year.
Jon Rothstein at CBSSports.com talks about his 5 sleepers for the NCAA Tournament. One of his picks is Belmont:
Belmont
Record: 30-4
Best Player: Ian Clark
X-Factor: Mick Hedgepeth
Why They’re Dangerous: Bruins coach Rick Byrd has won over 600 games in his career and most coaches will tell you three words when you mention Belmont — “do not schedule.” This team can really make shots from deep and has good size up front for a mid-major school with Hedgepeth and Scott Saunders. With 11 players averaging double-figure minutes, Byrd has to like his chances to scare somebody in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
