The Curtain Parts on East Rutherford

Shots from my pre-game walk around Continental Airlines Arena on Friday night:

I'm presuming many fans are still stuck in traffic -- it took me two and a half hours to get here from Brooklyn -- because the place is still half-empty.

The Vandy band director would like to point your attention to something on the ceiling ...

WOW! Another incredible finish, the THIRD 1 point game so far!!,,Can this tournament do anything more to top itself?? So, the State of Tennessee goes 1-for-3 in the Sweet 16, and it must be excruciating to know you were 2 points away from having all of them in the Elite Eight,,Wouldn't THAT have made for a Final Jeopardy clue down the road??

We seem destined this year to have some of the juiciest, mouth watering Final Four matchups we've seen in years..the favorites are all getting tested, but they are showing their mettle in the clutch..

Now, lets see if N-Carolina-USC can top what Georgetown just did..

just came back from the game - Georgtn did what it had to do it has its work cut out for it against UNC. The game felt like a tar heel home game!
