NCAA Championships


LET'S GO HEELS!!!!

Also, for your bracket updates [that are coming down to the wire] head here.


[10:00pm] 38-18 UNC. So far I like what I'm seeing. My only concern is the big guys getting into foul trouble. If Michigan state makes a run, they won't be able to play as aggressive.

[End of 1st] The crowd is definitely trying to give the spartans a lift here. It looked like a run might happen, but UNC is holding their ground. Excellent work. Now let's just work on keeping this combined score of the game under 160. Also, congrats to the Heels on a new NCAA record for most points scored in the first half of a championship game.

[14:59 left in 2nd] Ty Lawson breaks record for number of steals in a title game. Congrats Ty.

[14:38 left in 2nd] Is it me or does this game not look nearly as bad as I thought it would for being played on a football field??

[14:06 left in 2nd] Ben is falling asleep on my couch. He says he's giving Michigan State 5 minutes to make it interesting or he's going home.

[11:02pm] New e*trade baby commercial.

[11:08pm] Ben is asleep.

[7:33 left in 2nd] 72-55 UNC. At this point, I just want the final combined score to stay under 160. Cause then I'll have gone 4/4 in my brackets this year!!

[4:57 left in 2nd] Small run from Michigan State. I'm sure my sisters hands are getting quite sweaty!

[3:51 left in 2nd] 80-65 UNC. I'm not so sure it's gonna stay under 160 :(

[3 seconds left] SON OF A BITCH! YOU COULDN'T JUST HOLD THE BALL?!?! NOW I LOSE THIS BRACKET!!! 1 FREAKING POINT!!!! AHHHHHHHHH.

[End of Regulation] Congrats UNC!!! My sister is going crazy along with the rest of Chapel Hill. Have fun running the streets Erika!

i liked your post after that lay-up.

i'll say i was nervous for a sec when they cut the lead down to 13 or something, but we pushed it back up.

and i jumped over 7 fires - you'd be proud. franklin was a blast, uber-crowded, and only a little sketchy. 45,000 people: http://www.dailytarheel.com/multimedia/video/video-franklin-street-the-aftermath-1.1646328

Your post was hysterical! My favorite one was Ben is asleep! I had no idea you lost by one point - my sympathies. however, i'd say our family is awesomely talented! We just watched that video of Franklin St - I'll have to tell you the story of "Don't worry; Erika won't do anything that stupid"!!!!!!!
