. . . it's a real challenge is to make it better next year (as the AD has done, year after year).
We watched on ESPN3 and in our family TV room we could not possibly experience the electric atmosphere that filled Gampel. (Sort of like fourth of July fireworks from Boston, NY, or Washington -- tv just can't compare with being there.)
The lighting effects were simply fabulous. Some other great touches:
The various video presentations were beyond category.
Can't say enough about putting all 13 NCAA NC trophies out and I thought it was an inspired idea to have players like Kalana, Heather and Maria included.
Nice to have Ray Allen honored, but I wish they had devoted less time to one individual, even Ray.
The concept of players coming through the stands when introduced was great but, frankly, it took too long.
I missed the three-point shooting competition; I would have placed my money on Kaleena and Coourtney.
I did NOT miss the dunk competition and was pleased it is not on the agenda.
Next year? Expect the women to bring another NC trophy. Hope the men do it again.
