I have thoroughly enjoyed the NCAA basketball tournament this year for a number of reasons. 

Here are some top reasons (in no particular order) I have enjoyed the tournament:

- Duke lost last night

- UT is still in it and had an awesome buzzer beater last night. 

- UT is looking good and playing like they should have all year long.

- Bradley made a good run and I found out that my grandfather on my mom's side went to college there.

- Upsets by teams other than George Mason (see below)

- CBS offering live streaming of games, complete with the "boss button"

- Seeing the Aggies play good.  I actually rooted for them against LSU which felt weird and wrong.  I guess I want basketball to be a bigger deal in Texas as a whole.  So, I figured that ATM can help with the cause.

- All buzzer beaters!

Things that I have not liked as much about the tournament:

- TV timeouts (too many of them)

- Gonzaga losing a heartbreaker.  I really felt sad for them, especially Adam Morrison.  I hope he comes back for his senior season.

- UNC losing to George Mason (see above)

- Big 12 as a whole not representing the conference very well.  (Maybe Baylor will be there soon!  They do have the 17 rated recruiting class in the nation for next year, including a McDonald's All-American.)

- Missing tomorrow's UT game vs. LSU and perhaps the entire Final Four due to some camping trips.  I'm so torn!!!
