Well, the Duke loss demoralized this blog, but the Carolina Blue(*) faithfully plugged on past LSU to a series of perfect wins. And now we know, Spartan may beat Trojan, but it does not beat Tar Heel.
It's sad when the tournament ends, but the cherry on top for me every year is the "One Shining Moment" montage at the end. No matter who wins, who loses, or how boring or lop-sided the game, I will stick around for One Shining Moment. (I am slave to the Inspirational Sport Montage).
(*) See, it's good to be both a UNC and Duke fan. If one lets you down the other will come through!

Other random thoughts:
-sort of boring tournament this year, no Cinderella, no stand out player.
-the last minute narrative trumped up by the media that Michigan State was this little can-do working class team that was going through the tournament slaying one-seeded giants sort of ruined the hoop-la surrounding the final. Michigan State is good, always has been good. They are as much big time b-ball as UNC is. Shut up media.
-there was more narration than usual in the One Shining Moment montage, which I liked at first, but then at the end I thought the praise of North Carolina was excessive.
-also, I thought for sure the One Shining Moment montage would have a clip of Scheyer tossing the ball back in-bounds during the Duke-Texas game, instead they went with a clip of Scheyer making one of his now almost trademark funny Scheyer-faces.
-finally, I heart kids who stay to play all four years.

Sports montages always leave me a little teary. *snif* And I must agree with Sister Tee; I do like the kids who stay and play all four years. But seriously, folks- what's up with that dude getting caught repeatedly making that face?
