I predicted the Black Bears would win this one. Two things I didn't predict were: (1) HC would shoot so poorly in the first half. We never know how a team will react to playing in Rupp, and (2) #2 was such a good scorer. Well, that's half right. I knew he averaged 27.5 ppg, but I expected HC would have some type of defensive scheme to slow him a bit. The outcome was disappointing but #2 sure was fun to watch.

It was nice to see a team from Harlan County in the tournament. There are no easy draws in the Sweet 16, but I thought HC had about a good a path to the final 4 as you would want at that level. Congratulations to the kids and coaching staff on their first trip to the Sweet 16.
