I don't remember any better games in the NCAA tournament than what I've watched this week!!

'96 Kentucky/UMass and '98 Kentucky/Duke were up there for me.

Houston/Duke is going to be timeless though. I kept thinking that they were letting Houston hang around while they were playing their worst game of the season by far. Thought Houston had missed one too many opportunities-- missed layups, missed dunks, turnovers on crucial possessions (including the ball going off Knueppel's foot but being awarded to Duke when it was a 4 point game and the Cougars were running). Saw Houston coming back late but thought it was shot when Tugler got the technical for touching the ball while the inbounder was holding it. Just an amazing finish.

Will definitely be pulling for Houston. Most championship teams seem to have that one game that they should have lost but somehow survive. You might say Texas Tech was that game for Florida, but I don't think it's the same. Think Houston's defense and a crowd that will be mostly pro-Houston will win the night, but I do think it will be close.
