Enjoy from my personal collection of NCAA Tournament games, though I warn you to proceed with caution. In my opinion the 2000 NCAA Tournament might be the worst tournament of all time, though the team that won it all, Michigan State, was the team that probably should have won it all. By the Elite Eight, Michigan State was the only #1 seed remaining in the tourney with #1 Arizona, #1 Stanford and #1 Duke all gone. The Final Four had two #8 seeds in North Carolina and Wisconsin. Florida was the other Final Four participant, with the Gators arriving as a #5 seed. On the surface this tournament had a lot of upsets, but the games were just not all that great from my memory. In many ways the 2000 NCAA Tournament was a prelude to the God-awful 2000 NBA Draft, during which my Chicago Bulls had six of the first 34 picks. In many ways the Elite Eight contest between #1 Michigan State and #2 Iowa State felt like the national championship game. On the bright side, I guess I should have been happy that the 2000 NCAA Tournament was even taking place, meaning that civilization had survived Y2K! :-)
