NCAA Basketball Champions

Congratulations to the Duke Blue Devils, winner of the NCAA men's basketball championship. The Duke-Butler title game was one of the best games I've ever watched. Both teams played very well; not many stupid mistakes by either team, few turnovers, and terrific defense. The game was close the entire time - there were a couple times Duke looked like it might pull away, but then Butler would drop in a couple baskets to keep it close. And the finish was fantastic.

I'm a big Duke basketball fan, but even I was a little disappointed that Butler didn't pull it off. It would've been amazing to see a mid-major win it all - especially if Haywood's half-court shot at the buzzer would've gone in.

And congrats to the women from Connecticut, winning the women's title with their 78th straight win. I don't care what sport you're in - a winning streak that long is simply incredible.
