When we visited Catch It Kansas and the KWCH news meeting Thursday afternoon, everyone was focused on the big game that night. They all knew it would be a late news night since the game didn't start until 8:37 or so. But two overtimes? Bet there were some tired pups at the station.
It was a great game to watch. What I liked was the praise each coach had afterward for not only his team, but the opponent, too. Xavier certainly is better than it was earlier in the season when the Wildcats won handily. Peaking at the right time of the season is crucial. Witness the Jayhawks, who might have hit their best in the Big 12 tourney finale against K-State.
Becky Nordyke, a diehard KSU fan who teaches with me, has more of a spring in her step today. Even better, her sister has promised her a ticket to the Final Four if the Wildcats make it. I think she'd melt if that happens.
And, after West Virginia's win last night, my hopes for a Huggins-Martin matchup are still alive.
Les, we all wish we could have been in Salt Lake, but to hear Bruce and G-Mac, It was nothing but a chore.
ReplyDeleteOvertime is the enemy of the sports writer. G-Mac and Bruce, both collapsed when they got home.
It is not as sweet as you would think. Makes a GREAT question for Bruce when he speaks...Would you give the K-State/Xavier game for a night's sleep?
I've asked GMac...Bruce...not yet....?
Bruce was sick and tired!
