Thursday was the start of my favorite time of the year, March Madness. The NCAA tournament only comes around once a year and to most college basketball lovers this is one of the best seasons during the year. Schools from all across the country have the chance to prove that they are the best team in the land. It is great to see the small schools knock off the power house schools that everyone expects to win. It is also suspensful to see the outcome of major games determined by the final seconds.
Me being a freshman in college and having the university that I attend be playing in the "big dance" added to my excitement about this time of the year. As I sat and watched the game with some of my friends we began to have doubt in the second half as UCLA began to pull away from VCU. As we started to narrow their lead and got into the game I thought we would be able to come out with a win. The game went down to the final seconds as our star player Eric Maynor who had a spectacular game missed the game winning shot. It was somewhat disappointing to see my school lose but I was proud because we put up a good fight against a powerhouse like UCLA.
There will always be next year........
