Great to see (though I missed most of the game on a plane) pull out a tough win yesterday over Washington. Best part was we got contributions from everyone, especially Strickland on D and O.
Harrison Barnes was once again his clutch self nailing that huge 3 late, Zeller was steady and unstoppable in the second half, and KButter5 had a great second half.
Downside was not much defense on anyone not named Isaiah Thomas. But got to give it up for Strickland's effort on Washington's best player.
The other downside, Duke pulling it out against Michigan.
And though I'm not happy when the Hansbrough family is sad great to see FSU make it to the Sweet 16. My years in Tallahassee have made FSU my (distant) second-favorite ACC school. Not only did the Noles advance, over a Big East team, it gives the ACC 3 teams in the Sweet 16 - the most of any conference.
The dozens of readers of this space now I think the Big East is overrated, and this weekend's games prove it. Odd to see Marquette as one of the survivors. UConn makes sense, and I'll be pulling hard for the Huskies to beat Dook if they manage to defeat Arizona (a tough out), but I thought Pitt was the only other legit Big East team. I guess I gave that un-offfensive minded conference too much credit.
GO HEELS!
Travel Notes
I type this in the Frankfurt Airport, a nice enough place but not very efficient. Getting our boarding passes and going through security here took forever.
But the good news is we'll be in Athens in a few hours, and Ariadne has been a great travel companion - very mellow - despite some difficult connections.
