Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. While I have talked a lot of smack about the quality of the 2000 NCAA Tournament as a whole, there is no debating that this first-round game between Butler and Florida was as good as it gets. I remember watching this game with great enjoyment, hoping Butler could pull off the upset as Illinois would get the winner of this game. I didn't want to play this talented Florida team, and my fears would be confirmed during the second round as the Gators handled the Illini. Butler seemed to be on the verge of the upset before Mike Miller's full-court heroics, hitting a floater at the buzzer. Such is the fine line between victory and defeat, with Florida using this momentum to advance all the way to the title game. Also in this set of games are the opening round contests of the defending national champion UCONN Huskies and a Temple team that I was hoping would get to the Final Four. Both teams would be upset in the second round, much to my chagrin.
