NCAAM Final Game

Regardless of the math, that was just the most awful championship game I've seen in years. I had other commitments and recorded it, all the while being careful not to hear any information on the game. Then I got home, watched it, and wanted the time back afterwards. Yuck.

After all the great Championship games in multiple years, it is about time there was one bad one every now and then.

Probably a function of the fact that this tournament was so good for the first four rounds. Cinderellas are fun, but when you have a 3, 4, 8 and 11 seed in the final four, a clunker is probably to be expected. I thought two of the three final four games were really good. The most memorable tournaments are ones that have Cinderellas early and chalk late.

I do not think the championship had anything to do with a Cinderella making it. Butler was there last year and it was probably one of the best games in a long time and they had a chance to win without the last shot. Butler played bad that is all. And if you had all 1 and 2 seeds in the Final Four, I doubt that it would guarantee a good game either. If Kentucky played better in the semifinal, we might not have UConn as the champion.

My other commitment was SLEEP. But I DVR'd it and got up the next morning to watch - best part was I could Fast Forward through the commercials and it really didn't take too much time out of my life.
