As Sweet Caroline plays over the sound system at the Salem Civic Center, The Washington University Bears celebrate their first Men's Basketball National Championship. They downed the Amherst Lord Jeffs 90-68 in a game they dominated from the tip.
Tournament MVP Troy Ruths had 33 points in the victory while Fletcher Walters had 17 for the losers.
Chris -- thanks so much for making the trip. We appreciated your insight on all four games. Great to have some real X's and O's analysis instead of us schlub play-by-play guys trying to moonlight. :)

I picked Washington U in my bracket. Sweet!
Seriously, congrats to the Bears. Regardless of your division, it's good to be the champs.

Believe it or not I did a D3 bracket and did not have the Bears in the final four. It was a wonderful thing to be even a small part of. Standing on the floor as the confetti rained down and the fireworks went off was really cool.
