Sweet 16 Rising Stars

There are many talented young players still competing in the NCAA Tournament, and I wrote about two of them for CBS Local: Oregon’s Tyler Dorsey and South Carolina’s Chris Silva. The sophomores played important roles in helping their teams advance to the Sweet 16 and will be counted on again. Dorsey and the Ducks take on Michigan on Thursday night, while Silva’s South Carolina squad plays Baylor on Friday.

Michigan Basketball: Team of Destiny?

Michigan was playing really well before plane trouble marked the beginning of a championship run through the Big Ten Tournament. Now in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, the Wolverines believe they can beat Oregon and keep the good vibes going. I wrote about Michigan’s mentality and more in a story for UM Hoops.
