Was that tense or what?
Last night we gathered friends (and family, my brother is visiting from DC) to make pizzas and watch the NC teams in NCAA tournament. First we watched Michigan State give Duke the heave. We then switched to the last few minutes of Wisonsin beating NC State. Finally we watched UNC battle Villanova to the last seconds of the game.
For a little while it looked like all five NC teams were going to be history (Wake Forest and UNC Charlotte had already lost). Things were looking up when UNC pulled ahead by 10, only to watch as Villanova came within one point in the last few seconds. Mitch and I were pretty much on the edge of our seats, but I think Erica had fallen asleep by then.
Now, normally I’m not a huge basketball fan, but it was a ton of fun to watch the games with friends. I easily can see how new comers to the Triangle eventually get sucked into the basketball obsession around here.
