Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I remember several things prior to this Final Four game. The Friday night before, I had stayed up all night writing a term paper for my Honors English class that was due the following Tuesday. As I had a busy weekend ahead of me, I needed to get a lot done on that Friday night, during which I stayed up until five in the morning. My paper was titled, "Who Was Jack the Ripper?" After waking on Saturday morning, I had to coach the Intramural championship game at my grade school. The night before, the team I coached upset the best team in the league. I couldn't celebrate much as I had to get home and work on my paper. On Saturday afternoon, my team would lose to my cousin Brian's team during the championship game, which finished up as the Ohio State and UCONN game tipped off. I remember walking home and catching the second half of this first Final Four game. UCONN was up the whole way, from what I remember, just the better and more talented team than a Ohio State squad that got as far as it could with Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd. As has been the case since 1999, it is pretty hard to beat UCONN when the Huskies reach the Final Four. Ohio State found out firsthand this Saturday.
