The Final Bore

Ugh. After singing the praises of the NCAA Final Four Tournament just a couple weeks ago I fear I may now have to retract my statement. After a fascinating first two weekends filled with good matchups, down-to-the-wire games, and stunning upsets, the final weekend of the Tournament was the most dull and boring weekend of the Tournament that I can remember seeing. Cinderella was sent home early on Saturday night when George Mason was man-handled by Florida in what was actually the closer of the two games that night, in the later game UCLA put Glen "Big Baby" Davis and LSU to bed. Then Monday night the snore-fest continued when Florida dominated UCLA in a game that was so boring I had to turn in off before it was over for fear that I would gouge my own eyes out if I had to watch any more. Congratulations to the University of Florida and their fans but this was an incredibly disappointing end to what had been one of the most exciting Final Four tournaments that I can remember.
