Final fivesome: Final Four teams lack superstars, will rely on teamwork in Indianapolis
By John Marshall, APTuesday, March 30, 2010
Final Four has team-oriented look
This year’s Final Four will be won by the final fivesome. Not a superstar surrounded by four complementary players, but a team with players who rely on each other.
The stars of this year’s NCAA tournament, players like John Wall at Kentucky and Evan Turner at Ohio State, didn’t make it to the final week in Indianapolis.
In their place are four deep, talented teams who rely on teamwork instead of one player who take over.
Michigan State, Duke, West Virginia and Butler all have star players, future and potential pros. They just don’t have megastars like Final Fours of the past, players like Tyler Hansbrough and Derrick Rose.
For fans who like teamwork, it should be fun to watch.
