March Madness

The Big Dance has officially begun.  Yesterday, our Florida Gators played the Albany Great Danes at the Amway Center in Orlando, FL.  Florida emerged victorious with a final score of 67-55.  Our next game is tomorrow at the Amway Center where we will face the Pittsburg Panthers at 12:15.  You can catch this game on CBS or check NCAA March Madness Live.

Yesterday's games brought several upsets that were sure to mess up some brackets.  No 12 North Dakota State took down No 5 Oklahoma 80-75.  The South Region also experienced an upset when Dayton knocked out Ohio State with a close victory 60-59.  The Ivy League toppled the Big East in Harvard's 61-57 victory over Cincinnati.

GO GATORS!

SEC Champions!

Me and TJ celebrating the Gator victory!

The Georgia Dome was buzzing with energy during yesterday's championship game.  I know.  I was there.  Yesterday's game brought every emotion imaginable: anxiety, cautious enthusiasm, fear, and of course, overwhelming excitement and happiness.  After all the drama that only college basketball can bring, our Gators pulled out the W going undefeated in all conference games and winning the SEC Championship!

March Madness is in full swing.  The NCAA released the official bracket last night and our Florida Gators will be playing in Orlando at the Amway Center.  The Student Ticket Office has a limited number of tickets to rounds two and three at the Amway Center.  Tickets will be available for sale starting at 6 PM tomorrow night.  Students must have attended at least 11 home games to be eligible for these tickets.
