Thanks ladies, I appreciate your kind words.....we did watch the games this evening.....Dad had been planning on it so we had my brother, a friend of his and one of our best friends over for the game and to help us eat the food that has been given to us......unfortunately, most did not go our way bracket wise, but there were a couple good games. I was sorry to see Iowa State get beat as bad as they did, but Virginia was tough! I really thought Iowa State might be in the championship game. I've been rooting for them all year except when they played the Sooners. I'm glad you watched the games with your family and friends. I know it must have been so hard without your dad, but I'm sure he'd be pleased you and your brother are carrying on the family tradition. |

I did not get to watch the games this evening, just check on the scores but was glad to see the Oklahoma win over Texas A & M and the Oregon win over Duke. I don't know how much I'll be able to update this thread as my dad passed away this morning so obviously, my family and I are dealing with his death right now.....but knowing my dad and his love of this game, he'd be pissed at me for not watching but how can I watch and then not be able to call him to talk about it?  I'll try and check in when I can. SO sorry for your loss iowa57girl....hugs to you and your family. |

Those were some good games yesterday! At this point, my entire family will not been rooting for Oklahoma! You'll be happy auntkelly ....there really is no basketball player as good as Buddy Hield on the court right now. ETA:....LOL....I said "not" be rooting.....sorry...we WILL be rooting for Oklahoma. You all must have thought I was nuts with that sentence...sorry, brain is foggy right now. |

Here's to you @iowa57girl! Just wanted you to know someone's thinking of you tonight during the Final Four. Villanova was amazing! Syracuse may have left all of their luck on the court last week.

I was a sad Sooner yesterday, but I'm still very proud of my team. I think they are a real class act.
We went to the Final Four yesterday and the Villanova fans were very gracious about their win. I hope they win the whole thing.
As we were waiting in the security line to get into the stadium, my husband carelessly put our tickets (which were huge & bulky) in his back pocket. A guy grabbed them and my husband didn't notice. Luckily an off duty cop was behind my husband and saw what happened and knocked the guy down and got our tickets back. The cop wouldn't take a reward-he wouldn't even let us buy his son a hot dog.

What the heck happened to both Oklahoma and Syracuse? 44 points and 17 point spreads?  I'll be honest....those games were boring....I hate when they aren't close, even when it's my team winning. Thanks for your kinds words ladies about my father. He's interment is set for April 12th so I will be flying out to Las Vegas for that next week. It SUCKS that we had to wait this long but there is a two week backlog at the veteran's cemetery he choose to be interred at and now we found out that the ME office isn't releasing his death certificate pending toxicology reports  He had just be released from the hospital 12 hours before he collapsed and died.....the hits just keep on coming...I feel bad for my step-mother because he can't get the ball rolling regarding my dad's military pension and his civil service pension. So, because it was Villanova that knocked my Hawkeye's out of the tournament, I'll be rooting for them Monday night. |

I'm so sorry for your loss, Iowa57girl.
Tough loss for Syracuse yesterday, but they had a pretty good run and exceeded most expectations. I'm hoping that the Orange women fare better tonight.

I only saw the last 5 seconds. Quite the ending. Glad it was a competitive game after the semi-finals snoozers.

I didn't care who won, what a game! Way to go Villanova and Jenkins who's brother is on the UNC team made the buzzer beater!
