Pictures and Thoughts from the Championship Game

March 11, 2006
UVM 67, Albany 80
21-10
America East Conference Champions and an automatic bid to The Dance!!! Though a day later, still feels pretty cathartic just to type that.

I've been going nuts the last week...Congratulations to the entire team and the fans. Just for kicks we decided to check out the line for the student tickets. Unbelievable turnout, but also an unbelievably bad job by the University. With those winds and that number of students, there was no reason why the school couldn't release those tickets much earlier. The last thing the school wants is 1000 drunk and overtired students either throwing a riot or about to fall asleep.

From my vantage point in the student section, the school should be ashamed of themselves. No riots. No throwing up in the aisles. A little name calling. And you call yourselves a party school? You have nothing on West Virginia students.

A fantastic atmosphere-- I wish I could storm courts for a living. Here are some pictures from the game. More pictures, thoughts about the game, and the UConn matchup in a bit. I have to try to do work. That's a joke.

The team really saved its best for last. The team put on a terrific all-around performance in a game that wasn't close. The team gets out to a fast start, bombing away and shooting 58% in the first half.

For now, enjoy some of these. More pictures to follow shortly-- I can only upload a few at a time:
