Madness: Round Two

As promised, here is an update from the second round action of the Men's NCAA basketball tournament in Boise. As hoped, the action from Sunday afternoon was quite exciting, with both games decently dramatic down the stretch.




The second game between Marquette and Missouri turned out to be very exciting after what was a less than exciting first half. Marquette stormed back to be within a shot with only five seconds left in the game until a player from Marquette stepped on the baseline while inbounding the ball, thus ruining any attempt at a last minute buzzer beater.



Even though the action from these games trumps any action I typically see while working the Sunday shift I have to say that I was left feeling a little disappointed as I was unable to find the time to take in the media taco bar which looked spectacular. As they say all work and no, well, eating? Wait I don't think that's what they say.

Anyways, if you'd like to see some more photos check out this quick slideshow I threw together.

Oh and one more thing... My Sunday actually started much earlier than usual as I rolled out of bed and headed down to the fairgrounds in Boise to cover the Idaho Cat Fanciers Cat Show. Yes, that's right, a cat show. After all, you're not a true community journalist until you've had the opportunity to cover a cat show. Check out the slideshow here.
