Lucas: Just A Game
Posted Mar 22, 2009
For 40 minutes on Saturday, no one cared about bracketology or the bubble or corporate champions or any of the red tape that surrounds this event. Yes, the NCAA tournament is essentially a giant cash grab for the NCAA. But when it's done perfectly by two worthy teams, it's the best sporting event around. No administrators or commercials or sponsors. On this evening, it was just about the game, and it was tremendous.
