Basketball Nirvana

It happens a handful of times on the first Thursday and Friday of the tournament. Basketball nirvana is an idyllic state of perfection and beauty that takes place when games from all four regions are being played and viewed concurrently. How do you experience this transcendent state you ask?

1. Get to a place that has all four channels within plain view. Preferably with cold beer, wings, burger, pizza, or whatever proper cuisine you can find. Technically you can do a combination of streaming and TV's at home these days, but I'd call that Nirvana lite.
2. Wait for it. With staggered start times, timeouts, half time, etc. it only happens briefly. But when it does, it'll change your life.

Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do.

My classroom on the big screen projector.

They gonna learn tomorrow.

 

Not bad. Tomorrow is a 1/2 day vacation for me.

 

A couple of times while working on my Master's the tourney fell on Spring Break. I would be in the computer lab, watching every game on 4+ computers and on the projector. Was awesome. One time the janitor joined me for a few minutes.

 

About to happen...

 

It was here, and it was glorious. Suck it, ISIS.

 

Here we are now, entertain us.

 

Refs gave ND a helping hand there.

 

this is why I suck at this. I have iowa state in my elite 8

 

I don't like that CBS won't switch to games going down the wire anymore. I shouldn't have to get Tru tv.

 

I blame Iowa State a lot more than you. Not your fault they choked.

 

I've watched almost zero basketball this year, but I did have this feeling that iowa state couldn't possibly be that good.

 

Hindsight being 20/20, I still wouldn't have expected a loss to the blazers after they won the Big 12 tournament.

Hallowed_Hill, you've got a fun thread here.

 

at times they looked really meh, and at times really good, often in the same game

 

only had Baylor in my sweet 16, but this has been ugly.

 

This state is much more easily achieved as a college student. I feel old.

 

Today is my first experience in an office setting where people are pretending to be working. I'm not a fan.

 

I went to sit on the crapper, coincidentally or no, you be the judge, at the same time the ND/NEern game went into the last 30 seconds

 

The 3 seeds are struggling.
