A little excellent writing to enjoy on the morning after. Rock Chalk!

You're right, that was a superb article. It nicely captured the entire affair, including a lot of the nuances.

And JR, I had to think of you, amigo, with this line:

Meanwhile, the 17,579 witnesses inside CenturyLink Center on Sunday evening will chatter years into the future over their ticket-buying luck at seeing this Midwest Region final because of all the gasps and palpitations and frenzy and quality it provided.


So glad you got to see that game live. Way to represent!

Great, great stuff.
