March Madness Preview -The Celebrities on the Court

The greatest sporting extravaganza in American athletics is about to take place. The World Series is Legendary in modern American history, the Superbowl is the single most watched sporting event in the country, but nothing is more exciting than the NCAA basketball tournament. One can say that March Madness begins with the conference tournaments, and I do not disagree, but THE DANCE will always be the official Madness of March.


Everybody this time of the year tries to provide advice on tournament brackets, who will win each game, and how to pick. Honestly, this is a bunch of bullshit. It’s basically impossible to pick a perfect bracket and I am convinced it takes as much luck to win as it does as knowledge (the Wall Street Journal just released odds of a perfect bracket being somewhere between one in 150 million and one in 9 million trillion; the Associated Press' expert pegged it at one in 100 million trillion and he said that, due to the unpredictableness of it all, the best bet is to make your brackets by flipping a coin for each game). There will be certain upsets that no one will be able to predict. That is why I have decided to give no advice whatsoever but instead to provide some light-hearted enjoyment.


I have taken some top players and coaches and matched them up with their doppelgangers.

Anthony Davis/Ernie (Kentucky) - This potential player of the year is good enough to make uni-brows cool again.



Jae Crowder/The Predator (Marquette) - Crowder is dominating, powerful, and intimidating. Plus, they both rock badass dreads.

Jeff Withey/Zombies (Kentucky) - The Giant tower that players second fiddle to the player of the year candidate (Robinson).

Doug McDermott/Nate Torrence (Creighton) -Yea, he might be a beast but he also resembles the marshmallow from She’s Out of My League and Get Smart

Jack Cooley/Luke Harangody (Notre Dame) -It appears that The Notre Dame Basketball team is the first to ever clone a human.



Austin Rivers /Richie from Family Matters (Duke)- Rivers’s future looks way brighter than Richie’s ever did.


 Rick Pitino/Scarface (Louisville) -Both are well known and powerful that no one wants to fuck with


Tyler Zeller/George McFly (UNC) - Hello, McFLY

 - Kyle
