Yes I spent part of my spring break in Miami, but no, I did not go to the beach. I went to cover my school's basketball team who made it in the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. Yes, SFA fell to Syracuse, but just being there was a heck of an accomplishment and the Orange area great team. Jonny Flynn is extremely talented and will get paid a lot of money to play professionally before you know it.The Lumberjacks appeared to be nervous since it was their first time on this big of a stage but that doesn't take anything away from their great season. As the 14th seed falling to the 3rd seed, a 15-point loss isn't as bad as it could have been. Congrats to both teams.
Earlier in the year I covered the Jacks' game against A&M and I though that was big. The NCAA put was a whole new level though. When I first transfered to SFA, I never thought I'd be covering a team in the bracket. Even though they lost in the first round, you can't ask for much more.
There were big names in Miami and it was hard not to be star struck. Hopefully this was just the first time I'll be covering an even of this magnitude.
