What an epic championship. From Northern Iowa upsets, to Bob Huggins making out with players…and who would have guessed Butler would have made it to the final and have 2 last second shots at winning the title. Plus the Dukies not choking… What a #govmadness.

Congrats to the winners! Had I only picked my hometown team (I live in Durham) to go all the way instead of following Obama’s bracket, I would have been 2nd! I will never abandon the home team again… 🙂
I agree…i should have never doubted izzo 🙂
Congrats to Duke! You got to admit that ACC Basketball is often the best B-Ball to watch, next to the NCAA!
Nice job, Michael! Look forward to having you on the podcast 🙂
