A Great Tournament & Thank You's

The 2010 tournament will go down as one of the greatest tournaments of all-time. There were game-winning shots, upsets, and classic games.

The title game last night was an instant classic. While I'm not happy about Duke winning, I must give them props. Duke played smart basketball throughout the entire tournament. That's how they were able to beat a more athletic Baylor team. While Duke may not have been the best team in the regular season, they were certainly the best team in the tournament. Amazingly for Duke, this title rested on a last-second shot by Butler's Gordan Hayward. Luckily for Duke the shot missed, but it was damn close.



This wasn't the only great moments of the tournament. Who can forget about Ali Farokhmanesh and Northern Iowa beating the number one overall team in the tournament Kansas.



Or Korie Lucious beating Maryland with a last-second shot



The Saint Mary's Gaels and Omar Samhan became one of the Cinderella teams of the tournament after beating Villanova and reaching the Sweet 16.



The Xavier-Kansas State Sweet 16 game will go down as a classic. Jordan Crawford became known more for this game, than his dunk on LeBron James.



Murray State's Danero Thomas broke the hearts of Vanderbilt with a last-second game-winning shot.



And I don't think anyone will ever forget West Virginia coach Bob Huggins hovering and hugging Da'Sean Butler after Butler blew out his ACL against Duke in the Final 4.


And now to the thank yous. Live blogging the entire NCAA tournament is a lot of work. For one your live blogging 10 days of college basketball. I love college basketball but the games can be slow and boring and anyone can lose interest in the games very quickly. So I want to give a huge thanks to JFein for being my wingman for this tournament. JFein actually did the toughest work by live blogging Championship Week. I want to thank Mookie and Kris for their help as producers. Jame Craven for running the scoreboards when he was available.

I want to thank Rick James Bible Owner for making us all laugh. I want to thank Al, Flames Fan, and Scott for not being trolls. These guys actually showed up and just commented. They didn't act like jerks like some people who showed up.

It has been fun. Hopefully we'll live blog some of the upcoming hockey/basketball playoff games and maybe an occasional baseball game. Until then, GOOD NIGHT NOW!
