You have to feel a little sorry for Roy Williams. They guy has had a bad run of it. And you really want him to win. He's such a classy guy. He graduates his players. He stayed at Kansas even when his dream job at Carolina opened up. But he can't seem to get the monkey off his back and win the NCAA title.

On the other hand there's Jim Boeheim. A little slimy guy with questionable "student athletes" and no real quality players delivered to the NBA, unless you count Derek Coleman, but who would?

Kansas didn't deserve to win. They played hard. They kept coming back and I don't know how they made it close at the end, but they had a chance to tie it up with a 3, all despite horrendous shooting from the foul line. A few more free throws and Kansas walks away with the crown.

I watched the game up at one of the local hotels, Insel Ferman, on Armed Forces Network. I missed most of the first half due to a Donald Rumsfeld/Ricahrd Meyers press conference. I doubt people at home watching on NBC had to cope with that, nor the multitude of Army recruiting commericals during the time outs.

Is it just me or are not most of the people who are watching AFN already in the armed services? I can't quite figure that one out.

After the game, I went shopping at Lyn's and then got absolutely soaked as I rode my bike down to the Peace Corps office.
