    Still haven’t forgotten that Villanova buzzer-beater against the Tarheels in 2016.

    Go Wolverines.

    Never will.

    Jay Wright is the best coach in the game atm. But screw Nova.

    And neither will I. But I still can’t hate Nova or Chris Jenkins(he hit the buzzer beater) Bc I watched him in my home town his entire high school career. But I still haven’t forgotten about Chris Webber getting that technical calling a timeout he didn’t have. Anyways , always and forever GO HEELS!!’

    Find a picture of a crying Michigan fan tonight, preferably a young one or very old one.

    Make multiple copies, have it on your person at all times. Post it often.

    It’ll change your life.

    Kind of a anticlimactic finish to a great tournament but it wasn't Michigan winning so that's good. Oh, and my wife won my pool which is both ridiculous and the closest I'll ever come to winning.

    Yeah, I think so too. I’ll never forget this tournament, though - not just for UMBC and Loyola, but the total chaos up until the Final Four.

    Many tournaments have lots of upsets, but this one, especially Virginia’s quadrant of it, was just absurd.

    I do wonder what will be the lasting memory of this tournament. UMBC being the first sixteen to win? Virginia being the first 1 to lose to a 16? Loyola's run to the Final Four? Villanova putting together a second championship in three years?

    I suspect it will be about Virginia losing. We've seen the same seed as Loyola advance to the Final Four. We've seen Nova win before. And history tells us that we remember the teams that lose rather than the high seed underdogs that win in the first round. Quick - who was the 15 seed that beat Duke? Or Iowa State? I don't remember off hand, but I do remember those teams losing as 2 seeds. I suspect in 5-10 years, it'll be the same, I'll remember Virginia losing, but would have to really think about who pulled it off.

    All that said, with all the chaos. It felt like, pretty much all year, Nova was the best team in men's college basketball. And so, it's fitting that they win the title. Too often, that's not the case with men's basketball.

    I somehow won my bracket by a single point. I don’t even know how. I will take it though obviously. :)

    No Aaron Rodgers championship belt this year, but Sister Jean makes up for it (also you can skip right to 1:56 if looking for the best part). My strongest bracket was quite good and finished tied for #93 out of 58K in Jay Bilas' group. Every other one was total ****.

    Great tournament, great season!

    Why can't they just leave the tournament alone - no one was asking for it to be changed before and if anyone was asked to change it now they'd probably suggest going back to 64 teams, not adding more.
