Yeah, Yeah, I've missed a couple of days. Cut a guy some slack-been on the road on business, spending late nights getting beaten by two points, as well as trying to raise a family.  That said, I had last night "off" and still didn't watch the Duke/NC game.  Exhausted. 

Glad to see Duke win though!  Not a huge fan of Austin Rivers but that was a big shot and it sounds like he was really good all game long.  Maybe it was his coming out party of sorts.  Such a great rivalry, iconic coaches, and now players.  I still think UNC is built for the tourney more than Duke, though I wouldn't surprised if both teams made the Elite 8 or perhaps further.

Further, I was thinking when seeing the highlights of Doc Rivers going nuts after his son hit the shot, how much better it is to see your kid achieve something great than it is reflecting on your own accomplishments.  When I watch my daughter make a free throw, steal the ball(or 2nd base-which is automatic by the way), or my son make a basket a natural sense of pride churns inside.  It is far greater to see that in my mind.
