The College Basketball Nostalgic is proud to introduce "Thursday Treasures" as part of its Wednesday, Thursday and Friday "Within the Field" series that will review classic, memorable and/or unheralded NCAA Tournament games.
"Thursday Treasures" will especially focus on NCAA Tournament games that I absolutely love and feel are must sees for any college basketball fan.
"Thursday Treasures" will cover tournament games from the first and second rounds to the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight. Final Four and championship games will be covered in my "Final Fridays" and "Monday Magic" sections, respectively.
For each game, I will follow a similar format that provides at least 10 gems, or individual plays/or coaching strategies, that stand out from this specific "Thursday Treasure." In other words, I want "Thursday Treasures" to recognize the outstanding individual, team and coaching moments that made these games so enjoyable to watch.
Utilizing YouTube, I will include the time codes of these moments so that you can see them for yourselves.
Additionally, in alignment with the "Treasures" theme and the current Rio Olympics, I will award each team with three medals (gold, silver and bronze) to recognize the three players who had the most outstanding impacts for each squad.
Of course, I will introduce each game and provide a brief back story of each team before diving into the respective game.
My first "Thursday Treasures" is scheduled for Thursday, August 25th, as I will review the classic 1997 first round tournament game between the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Fairfield Stags.
While building some content, I previously wrote a "Thursday Treasures" on the 1999 first round game between Gonzaga and Minnesota. Please see that post for an idea of what "Thursday Treasures" will look like.
With that said, I look forward to striking it rich in the future within this bountiful treasure chest of unbelievable tournament games like the following.
