Bracketology

I have to admit I get really attached to college basketball games this time of year. I am always amazed at how quickly we get to know the players and teams, and form an affinity for them. Right now there are two teams from Richmond in the Sweet 16 of college basketball, which has never happened before. Both of them are playing their best ball of the season, which is what is required to get this far.

I have to admit in my brackets I thought they would both win their first round games, but go no further. Our church team did just that, even though we were also playing our best at the end of the season. And just like the college guys, we reflect back on the last few minutes of our final game and wonder why we did not execute the way we had all game long. A quick shot here, a turnover there, and suddenly the game slips away from you.

There is always next year.
