There’s no mistaking the smell of freshly cut grass, cracking bats, whiffed balls and rally monkey sightings — it’s that time of year again folks, baseball season. With a few games into the season, there have been five main questions lingering in the minds of baseball fans. Here they are:
Led by Coach Mike Krzyzewski, the Duke Blue Devils escaped the Butler Bulldogs and won their fourth NCAA tournament championship. Butler’s Gordon Hayward was held to a mere 12 points after averaging 16 points throughout the tourney. Kyle Singler and Jon Scheyer combined for 34 points to lead Duke.

I can’t help but give teams like Ohio, Northern Iowa, Georgia Tech, Murray St., Old Dominion and Missouri the recognition they deserve in upsetting some of the early favorites in the tourney despite messing up my tourney bracket.
It was one call – one gutsy call – that swung the momentum in favor of the New Orleans Saints. No, it was not a highlight reel run or a downfield bomb. It wasn’t even a field goal kick similar to those kicked by Adam Vinatieri that won two Super Bowls for the Patriots – it was a recovered onside kick.

Alabama’s defense was the story as they knocked out Texas quarterback Colt McCoy in the first quarter, scored a defensive touchdown right before the half, and forced a fumble late in the game to seal their victory.
