March 6th was a perfect day

I certainly hope that UofL will play in some more meaningful games this decade, but unless I am lucky enough to travel to a FF or NC game in person, I can’t imagine having a better memory or experience with any game than Saturday. It already ranks as my favorite basketball game, and I’ve seen Griff (when I was little) and lots of games from the early to mid-80’s, including the 1986 game with Memphis. I’ll have to evaluate whether it will pass the WVU football game as my all-time best game experience, but in both instances, it was simply amazing how everyone had a single game circled on their calendar for the entire season, and how things continued to develop to make that game even more important as the season progress, and how the games still exceeded a storybook fantasy of how they might end (okay, maybe Kuric hitting a 3 at the buzzer would have been better, but his last dunk was the loudest I think I’ve ever heard FH).
