If you were watching last night’s women’s basketball games, you saw South Carolina destroy N.C. State and Iowa squeak by UConn. Tonight marks one of my favorite days of the year (sports-wise). The Final Four.

I have strong memories going back decades of getting ready for and watching the NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. I remember going to my parents' friend's house to watch Danny Manning and Danny Ferry, plus Sean Elliot and Mookie Blaylock in the 1988 Final Four. Then the next year watching Glen Rice and Michigan take down the Flying Illini, plus Duke lose again to Seton Hall.
