With just over 11 minutes to go Tech will make a 21 point comeback to win the national championship.
Right now: score is 65-49, 6:24 to go…I’ll spot GT 20 points, and I still don’t think they’ll win.
Happy
A bold prediction and a valiant effort put forth by Tech, but alas UConn had too much.
Conversation with some guys Monday.
Me: Who’s left in the final four?
Friend: Georgia Tech, OSU, Duke, and…
Me: Duke sucks!
Friend: UConn
Me: Hmmm. Who’s the star player this year?
Friend: Oh, um Emeka Okafor; he plays for UConn
Me: Anywhere as good as Carmello?
Friend: No way.
Me: Matchup?
Friend: GT-OSU; Duke-UConn
Me: Duke sucks
Friend: So what’s it going to be?
Me: Well, as much as Duke sucks, I really hate OSU. UConn’s been there before
Friend: Yeah, for women’s
Me: And I like the team colors.
Friend: ?
Me: It’ll be UConn by a bunch.
And so it was. Hey, don’t knock my method; it’s tried and true. Since I started paying attention to March Madness three years ago I haven’t been wrong yet. 
Oddly enough, in the beginning I still root for Gonzaga every year for no apparent reason…
Oh yeah, in about a minute you’ll see I’ve been a life-long UConn fan. Just a heads up.
Wow … what kind of ass-kickers would Stanford have been this year if Okafor had gone there as he had originally wanted?
I’m a little disappointed. I thought it would be nice to see Georgia Tech win its first title. On the other hand, if this means that UConn pulls off the first men’s title/women’s title double play in NCAA history, that’s cool, because then Duke will be denied the chance to be first. And I’m in favor of practically anything that hurts Duke.
UConn won? Damn.
Sorry but I was pulling for the southern boys …
But …
AT LEAST DUKE DIDN’T WIN!!!
And for that we should all make merry!
They made a good run near the end. If they would have done that at the 10 minute mark, they might have won. Looks like they got out-coached.
Last night I sat in the Alexander Memorial Coliseum with 5000 other students and held my breath as we sunk 3 pointer after 3 pointer in those last 60 seconds. I held my head high even after the loss. We had made it farther than 320 other colleges had, and we had done so wading against the predictions and nay-sayers the entire way.
We’ll be back next year.
