It may not appear as much to many here, but to me basketball played at the college level is much like a living drama, with ebbs and surges, adrenaline rushes and wild excitement, and the ultimate sadness and despair from failing to meet that ultimate goal. All of that was on display Monday night, and if basketball was art and human drama, then the game Monday was all of that and more.

More than anything else the kids were the winners, especially the ones that survived the worst season in UNC history to reach the ultimate pinnacle. The Illinois kids that survived another coaching change to find someone that could inspire and lead them. The UNC kids that survived the worst kind of nightmare when their college coach was forced out, due in large part to their own displeasure.

They proved they were more than spoiled athletes by working as a group with someone that showed he genuinely cared about them as people first and athletes second. That is refreshing, and for once it was a moment in all the hoopla surrounding this overhyped affair, that was a feel good moment. Because these two teams did it the right way.
