Now, back to the serious business of the tournament.
I witnessed what will be a tournament highlight for many years to come - the guy from NW St. hitting a covered fall away three from the corner at the buzzer (well, basically - .5 seconds left) to take a 63-62 lead over Iowa and win the game. That guy will be the new Bryce Drew from Valparaiso (of a similar huge upset a decade or so ago).
What warmed my heart is that this was from a tiny school. Iowa is the Big 10 champion. Billy Packer, eat dirt. The Big 10, one of the 4 or 5 power conferences, just had their champion lose to a mid major that you don't think should have the right to play in the tournament.
I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!
One of the best parts is that during my surgical recovery, I'm supposed to be resting, so I can park my butt guilt free and watch hour after hour after hour yesterday through the rest of the weekend.
