My Sweet 16/Elite 8 Experience

[BroncoWave]

I was fortunate enough to attend the games in the New Orleans region through my job at Tulane and as far as sports goes, it was probably the coolest experience of my entire life. I got to be right near the court for all 3 games and all of the games were spectacular. It was pretty amazing to get to see Butler make it to the Final 4 again this year. Here are a few pics from the tourney:

I met Andy Katz, Rick Reilly, and Gus Johnson during today's games. Probably my coolest experience of the tournament:

I met Rick Reilly in Boulder one time and he was a really nice guy. Funny too. Not at all the blowhard he comes across as since he went to ESPN.

Jealous that you got to meet my man Gus.

Yeah Reilly was really cool. He's definitely a different guy in person than he comes across in his articles. And meeting Gus was probably the highlight of my day.

Nets are pretty easy to get off the rim with out scissors. I never understood the reason for cutting them down...

Cool picks and experience BTB!

That Butler-Florida game was a damn good game. Must have been nice to watch it up close.
