Tourney Trip » Final Four

Just another week

This week I had one game, Wednesday, TCU at UNLV. UNLV dispatched these clowns in easy fasion, just as they have the couple of scrubs they’ve played recently (besides Utah). Final Score was 78-62, but it wasn’t even that close. It was a 30+ point game in the second half with 11 minutes left. Take it for what it’s worth. Game 22 of 50 for me. 50 looking quite difficult. Still going to give it the ol college try though.

Good news on the ticket front this week as well. Some randoms from Buffalo, NY sent over a few tickets for us to attend some hoops games, the same ones we’ve been talking about. So that’s good news:

I also managed to track down my set of Final Four tickets:

So now we can get into these places we’ve spoken about so much. The Final Four tickets were pretty hard to track down. The wonderful people at the NCAA ticket office did not change my mailing address, even though I sent the proper information to them, and even received conformation back that it was. It’s all good though, as it worked out in the end.

Wyoming @ UNLV for the last Rebel game of the year is next Saturday. I will also be at the WCC tournament at the Rhett’s Basketball viewing arena, AKA, the Orleans Arena. That starts on Friday.

Currently watching Richmond @ Xavier (dynasty). Looking forward to some USA hockey, and MSU @ Purdue. Things are rounding into shape nicely. They should be, tomorrow is March, and it is MY month.

Thanks T-Walt, G, ID and Quise

Thanks to the seniors and of course Coach Izzo. We’ll miss you four guys but you gave us a helluva run. The core returns and the sky is the limit for next season – the road to Indy begins today.

It’s tough to be so close and not get it all. But UNC is/was a gifted team – oh, well – that’s the past now. Kalin, Durrell, Korie, Draymond, Delvon, Chris, Tom, Derrick, Gerrick and of course Raymar are the future.

A great season – two banners – and a memorable Final Four experience. All in all not too shabby, not perfect but not too shabby.

FINAL FOUR BABY

We’ll be in the Motor D to see the Spartans!

G was the man, Kalin and T-walt handled the press with ease, Durrell was the spark-plug, Chris Allen was hustle and heart, Korie had ice-water in his veins and Day-Day was a force inside. A total team effort, including a dunk for the DUNK POLICE! (Just wait for Ray and Del to heat up, it could be special) And of course, some lockdown Man to Man! and a plus 8 rebounding margin.

And once again – Tom Izzo is the greatest human being to ever live – he makes Ghandi look like a child pornographer.

It’s going to be a fun week

And let me add a special recognition to my all-time favorite double Spartan – the love of my life, my wife Anna – those silly UCLA girls are schlepps compared to her.
