The 2013 NCAA was tournament is now past, and before we let the lull of the end of college basketball envelop us, a quick look at the Men's All-Tournament teams.
FINAL FOUR (AP)
G-Trey Burke: This was kind of an iffy pick for me after the egg he laid against Syracuse, but there is no doubt that he was the leader of this Michigan team and they are not in the final without his heroics throughout the tournament.
G-Peyton Siva: Siva is the heart and soul of the national champs. He makes them go with his defense and his penetration, which he is astoundingly good at considering he is not a threat from deep. He is a handful for the other team's point guard at both ends, and he is a champ.
G-Spike Albrecht: Spike was huge in the final four, spelling Burke when he needed it. He showed that he can handle ball pressure at the highest level and that he can score in spurts if needed. Michigan has no worries going forward at the point guard position.
F-Luke Hancock: Hancock was a role player until the Cardinals needed his role. Now, he is a household name. He was the shooter to keep teams honest on a team full of runners. Noone knew about him because noone could make Louisville shoot, till they met the Shockers and Wolverines. When the Cardinals found teams could make them shoot, Hancock was ready, totally 42 points in the final four for MOP honors.
F-Cleanthony Early: I have watched the shockers all year long, and I was astounded that they were able to land a talent like Early. Now the rest of this nation of sports fans can wonder the same thing I did. How does the 2-time nation juco (D-III) player of the year land in the valley. He had a few times in the season where his focus wasn't as sharp as you would like, but when the switch is flipped, he is as good as anybody. He showed this by being the #11 scorer (16.2 points) and #10 rebounder (7.6) to make it to the sweet sixteen.
ALL-TOURNAMENT (ME)
I couldn't find an all-tournament team online, so i decided to fill that void myself.
