Only Elite...

Well, the Heels lost. That was a bummer. It seemed to me that they totally outplayed GTown in the first half, at least, and most of the second. Somehow they started shooting from the perimiter towards the end there which 1) isn't their strength to begin with, 2) didn't attack the Hoya players already with 3 or 4 fouls, and 3) didn't allow for any offensive rebounds, as they just shot up bad shots before anyone was in position underneath. Still, not closing it out with 3 points, the ball, and a minute left is bad. Then the OT was even worse. That was ugly. Oh well. I'm not really excited about any of the teams in the Final Four this year. I think I'll root for UCLA, just because I like the names of the guys on that team best: Afflalo. Luc Richard Mbah a Mmoute. Those are fun to say. And aside from the 2 guys from Cameroon, one from Serbia, and one Canadian, EVERYONE on the team is from California. Seems neat.

Also, since it seems worth mentioning because it overshadows any basketball game stories, the UNC mascot who was hit by a car before the USC game - Jason Ray - died today. Gosh, how sad. He had been the mascot for the past 3 seasons, and was a senior.
