NCAA ‘08-’09 recapped

Another college basketball season has come and gone.  Congratualtions go out to North Carolina, for being the best team at the start and the end of the season (and the one final four team I got right in my office bracket).  I watched a lot of ball this year (more than normal, minus the big 10).  Here are my opinions/awards to sum up this year in college hoops.  Also, I would like to add that March Madness is the greatest sporting event of all time; nothing comes close.

Player of the year:  Blake Griffin, Oklahoma.  

MVP of March Madness:  Ty Lawson, North Carolina.

Game of the year:  Syracuse vs. UCONN (6 ot’s, Big East tournament)

Block of the year:  Hasheem Thabeet, UCONN.

Assist of the year:  Johnny Flynn, Syracuse (check about the 1:05 mark)

Dunk of the year:  Blake Griffin, Oklahoma and Carlon Brown, Utah.

Play of the year:  Scottie Reynolds. Villanova.

Blooper of the year: Adam Waddell, Wyoming.
