A Sweet View of The Sweet Sixteen

By: Luke Florence
Certain March Madness memories will never escape me. It's almost as if they've become a part of me. I'll never forget Bryce Drew's miraculous shot, Christian Laettner's impossible game-winning 15-footer, or Tyus Edney going coast-to-coast to seal the deal. There's countless others. And yet, despite the numerous memories, it's always been at a distant. Sure having a bracket gives you a rooting interest in each and every game, but that's like having a nose-bleed seat at the Final Four. Yeah it's nice being there, but it's nothing like the experience you could get sitting court-side.

Thanks to John Groce, DJ Cooper and the rest of the Ohio Bobcats I finally have that elusive court-side ticket this season. It's been undeniably sweet ... pun fully intended.
