    It's easy to forget that these are young kids. They just went into shock and couldn't play. UMBC scored 53 points in the second half.

    Yeah. You make a good point. These aren't 30 year old men in their third Finals appearance. These are kids. They were indeed in shock. With minutes left, UMBC was just moving the ball from hoop to hoop without the ball touching the ground.

    Virginia's scoring defense only gave up 53 points a game this year. They got punched in the mouth and didn't know how to respond.

    I have. 7-38 from the 3-point line in that game versus 12-24 tonight, for one thing. 29% FG percentage against 54% tonight...

    Mrs. T was a Retriever, and my best friend was a Wahoo. His bro-in-law is a diehard K-State alum. She is really having fun watching me trolling both of them today.

    In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).

    Yup, UMBC was transitioning faster than Virginia could react. They were shocked how the retrievers could score on them. That low scoring ball-control style doesn't work if you can't stop the other team.
