I was about to write about the ending of the Texas/WVU game as being the best ending I’ve ever seen. I delayed the start of this post because I think I saw the most amazing finish in the Gonzaga/UCLA game. I’m so jacked up I don’t think I can sleep yet. By far the best two finishes in the tournament so far if not ever.
I had to Tivo whatever I had left from watching the game just so I can watch it over and over. UCLA had no business winning this game after the first half. Clearly it wasn’t a matter of if Gonzaga was going to win but by how much. I never thought UCLA would turn it around at halftime. But UCLA kept at it and used their defense to win the game. Even the announcer got caught up in the moment and kept screaming “WHAT A GAME! WHAT A GAME!” What else can you really say?
As for West Virgina they too were down double digits at halftime. They started the second half on a 8-0 run and made it a game. After Kevin Pittsnogle made a 3 pointer to tie the game up, everyone was celebrating that shot and hoping to soak it in. Except for Texas who smartly pushed the ball up court and took a chance. Even after Texas won the game, I got the feeling of I couldn’t believe what just happened because it all happened so fast.
Tomorrow is going to be hard to top with the games today. I never want March Madness to end. Amazing.

Yeah, times like last night made me happy I got MMOD. I must have watched the last two minutes of the UCLA/Gonzaga game like 5 times. Just an incredible day of basketball, and we followed it up with more of the same Friday.
This has been the best tournament that I can ever remember, and it’s not even close.
Yeah the ending of that game will be on my Tivo for awhile.
