Whew! What a game. Up and down, full of momentum swings. An emotional roller-coaster.

I alternated between screams and rants at the TV, on one hand, and sighs of relief and smiling fist-thrusts on the other.

I freaked out the family dog (who thinks I'm yelling at her when I get upset at the Hawks, the refs, or just the game overall).

I exchanged about 500 texts with HE as we mutually alternated between downs, ups, downs, and a final round of ups.

And lastly, I changed BOTH my KU t-shirt AND my KU sweatshirt at the half. (Which, of course, was clearly the difference) :P

More on the Xs and Os as we go, but for now, I just wanted to say...

Dayum!



And...

ROCK CHALK!!!

What a fun game to watch - for both teams. Loved how we fought back.

Loved how Mac showed up and changed the game.

Loved watching the Groves brothers - who will talk about this game the rest of their lives. And appreciated their sportsmanship at the end.

This is what March Madness is all about.

I can say I enjoyed watching the Groves brothers because the hawks came back and won. They played really well. 35 points on 18 attempts is amazingly good. 23 points on 11 shot attempts is also really good.
