Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games. I was looking forward to this opening game of the second round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament, a rematch of the 1996 title game during which Kentucky defeated Syracuse. The Orangemen would exact some revenge on the Wildcats during this second round game, which was actually nip and tuck the whole way. I really liked this Syracuse team with Jason Hart, Etan Thomas and former Illinois player Ryan Blackwell. As for Kentucky, the Wildcats boasted Jamaal Magloire and Tayshaun Prince. Honestly, I don't remember much about this game except that it was pretty close and that I was kind of distracted during it. I believe I was trying to knock out some research I had for an upcoming ELA term paper about William Shakespeare. I figured I might as well try to get some work done early in the day with only one tournament game on at the time. After skipping school on Thursday and being off on Friday, I remember being slammed with homework this weekend, which was going to be a hard proposition with so much basketball to watch. For some damn reason, I always seemed to have big papers to write around March Madness throughout high school, with my senior year no exception during the 2000 NCAA Tournament.
