First off…Happy Easter. I hope you are at peace with your loved ones.
What a basketball game last night in Indiana!!!
Best game of the tournament, best game of the season, and the Chuckster might be right in that it could have been the best college game in the last decade.
Gongaza appeared to be beaten at the end of regulation, but these guys behind Andrew Timme and Jalen Suggs just a found a way in the last six minutes of play to extend their unbeaten perfect season versus Baylor on Championship Monday.
Bravo to both teams for a wonderful evening of basketball. It helps wash away the stain the Thunder’s pathetic season of on again then off again tanking. How fitting it is CJ McCollum on the eve or Easter once again showed Sam Presti where his team is currently on the NBA food chain. If CJ and his father were in town today…we’d invite them to Easter dinner again.
I have to write this to Coach Mick Cronin of UCLA… bless you and your players for your inspirational six game run in this tournament which was spawned in the play in game versus Michigan State.
Sir– your players beat Michigan State, Michigan, Alabama…and came within a whistle of beating No. 1 Gonzaga. Your team played with a combination of smarts and toughness which makes old timers like me proud to be a fan of the game.That was the best exhibition I’ve seen of TSN (Toughness, Smarts, Nasty) in quite some time. Just beautiful, sir… your father is proud of you and well he should be.
As far as I’m concerned regardless of what happens on Monday night…your team won a share of the national championship on Saturday night.
Bravo…bravo, bravo!!!!
As Lombardi once said, “We would like to win all the time, but sometimes we don’t. But if we gave everything we had in the tank and came up just short….we can live with that result.”
Monday night…I would have to go with Timme and Suggs after what I just witnessed. Baylor has a solid team, but I like Gonzaga by about 6-7 points on Championship Monday.
I can’t wait to play One Shining Moment and then talk about Joe C’s very impressive basketball coach hire at OU.
Enjoy the the day and be one within the spirit of goodness and kindness.
