My NCAA Tourney Weekend

I basically took a 4-day weekend to watch the first and second round of the NCAA tournament, the first two days of which were largely spent at a bar down in Fairfax, VA.  While I could go into great detail about the games, I found a quote from ESPN columnist Bill Simmons that pretty accurately sums it up:

"Nothing unites basketball fans like hanging out in a bar and rooting against Duke."

In addition to the Duke/Belmont game, the Western Kentucky/Drake was one of the best in recent tournament memory, and it was absolute pandemonium when WKU hit the impossible buzzer beater in OT.  Unfortunately, local team George Mason was out of their game within a few minutes of tip-off.  Nonetheless, quite a fun weekend of great basketball. 

I love March Madness!  Best sporting event of the year, for sure.
