As I walked into the New York City building where our meeting would be taking place, I noticed several of my co-workers waiting with another man who was noticeably large in stature. It was only 7:45 a.m. and our scheduled start was still over an hour away. After a train ride Saturday afternoon and a night in the Big Apple, it's safe to say I still wasn't exactly "awake". I had no idea who else would be there that early besides the office employees. Ami Monson, our Program Director...

It was expected by many that the Bruins would be playing North Carolina in the championship game, but the Tigers and Jayhawks made it through. Kansas and Memphis made it to the NCAA championship on Monday night in San Antonio. However, some feel that these 2 teems were not the most likely to make it all the way through. Nevertheless, the Tigers and Jayhawks are the 2 best teams in this tournament. Only Kansas is on the same level as the Tigers in terms of depth, size and athleticism. The...

Today was a day that any basketball fan would love. We met back up with Prime Sport, the Official secondary ticket outlet of the NCAA. We got with them about what they wanted people to do for the Fan Experience. Michael Woo and I were running the on-court activities for it, while Andy Heid and Pete Gladstone were doing the same at the Elite Experience. Woo and I got people playing knockout, three-point contest, and Hot Shot. DanielSilverstein was the Production Manager, which meant he was...

The madness is finally over. Aside from one master-bracket-filler-outer(Jameson Singer), the staff from Maccabi USA displayed little discipline and fortitude to make the appropriate selections. Here's the recap: Jameson- 128 pts Karen- 94 pts Stephanie- 86 pts(so close, yet so far) Julie- 78 pts Sue- 75 pts Bob- 69 pts Ami- 63 pts(not surprised) Jed- 45 pts Sara- 33 pts(I'm speechless) As the tournament got started, Stephanie was on fire, hitting most of her 1st round games, but eventually...

After suffering through repeated blowouts in the last two rounds, fans had to wait until the Championship to see two teams worthy of each other play. And what a spectacle it was. In an incredible finish to an unforgettable March Madness, Kansas' Mario Chalmers hit a contested three with 2.1 seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. From there it was Jayhawks as they took advantage of a shell-shocked Memphis team, scored the first three buckets and never looked back. Chalmers...

And then there were two...Memphis continues to dominate opponents and in the process makes them look like high school teams. I just cannot say enough about Derrick Rose. The Miami Heat have their eye on him, and given then chance may snag him with the first pick in the draft this year. Rose and Chris Douglas Roberts (aka CDR) combined for 53 points against UCLA, however Rose's stomach has been giving him problems, causing him to miss Sunday's media session. Kansas' back court has also...

There is not going to be any doubt as to who is the best team when its over. That's not something you can say too often in sports these days. According to Sports Illustrated, "No national champion in history will have survived such a two-game challenge as this one. The winner will have to beat two No. 1 seeds, including opponents each with at least thirty-five wins. The last team standing will also have to beat two of the most respected coaches in the game. You have to end not just one, but...

In the highest quality Final Four seen in years, Memphis and Kansas rose to surprisingly easy victories against UCLA and North Carolina. Memphis seemed to improve throughout the tournament and entered the UCLA game on a tear. After squeaking out victories in the first and second round, the Tigers turned it up with a solid win over fifth seeded Michigan State and a dominating performance against a very good Texas team. UCLA had a rockier road to their Saturday game. They hung on to...
