NCAA

I caught bits and pieces of a few NCAA games over the break. I was able to keep up with the brackets well enough and understand what was going on (with a little help from my Dad). One of the games that I was actually able to catch a large chunk of was the March 27 game between Xavier and West Virginia. We only caught the second half...but that was the most thrilling half of the game I am sure. West Virginia put up an awesome fight and I will admit that I began cheering for them to win. There were some amazing plays made by WV and I was shocked when they missed the last freethrow that probably would have led them to victory. Instead they made it into overtime, which was much more thrilling for the fans. I believe that a player from each team was removed from the game due to fouls called against them. In the end Xavier took the win at 79-75. I enjoyed watching the win!

I agree Sarah. West Virginia and Xavier was probably one of the best games of the tournament. What really hurt West Virginia is their star forward Alexander fouling out late in the second half. He is their go-to-guy and it really showed in the overtime when they were desperate for points.
