Vanderbilt's loss to Georgetown


Well I just finished watching the ending to Vanderbilt's loss to Georgetown (65-66) in the sweet 16. It has been an exciting year for the commodores and it was an exciting finish.

As a migrant to Tennessee from "Tobacco Road", I've enjoyed what Tennessee basketball contributed to the NCAA this year. Memphis, Tennessee, Belmont (although I would have preferred to see Lipscomb) and my new favorite, Vandy!

It was a tough lost, but the guys have a lot to be proud of. I didn't get to see the entire game, but it is sad that the boys lose on what should have been a traveling call on the final shot for Georgetown. Even CBS was pointing out the disappointment, but that's the game of basketball. The referees can't make every call.

It's bitter sweet I guess. I don't know what it would have been like to have to root for UNC and VU in the next round (hopefully, I won't be typing about UNC lost in a few hours).

Way to go 'Dores!!! Great season!!!!
