Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. It's safe to say the first slate of games for the 2000 NCAA Tournament were not the most appealing. One thing that always frustrated me about living in Chicago at the time was that the local CBS affiliate would always put on Big Ten teams during the NCAA Tournament. Case in point, the Purdue Boilermakers, a team that I had seen enough of during the regular season. Remember that this time period was before every game was broadcast on its own station; thus, I wanted to see teams I hadn't seen all season long. I don't remember much about this Dayton-Purdue game, though I can assume it was close and probably boring. I just wasn't a big fan of this Purdue team with Brian Cardinal, a very gritty player who had a long NBA career. Of course, Purdue would get all the way to the Elite Eight, losing to Wisconsin during a slog fest. I warned you that the 2000 NCAA Tournament was pretty bad so I hope I am not coming off as negative. Unfortunately, none of these early games was a lot to write home about. :(
