I actually think the tournament was a little "blah" because college basketball wasn't really that great this year. There were really no great teams besides UNC. We always like parity in sports, but sometimes it eliminates those epic matchups that make the tournament special. This one just didn't have those epic matchups that we're used to.

The gameplay was also kind of shakey. Lot of bad shooting, turnovers, and poor fundamentals. UConn shot 63% from the free throw line in a Final Four game. The runner-up Michigan State had 21 turnovers in the championship game. The most exciting game in the tournament (OSU-Siena) had both teams shooting in the thirties. There just weren't a lot of stars shining in this tournament outside of the guys at UNC (who really didn't play one exciting game all tournament).
