I may have almost entirely whiffed on my NCAA tournament picks, but I did get the winner right, as Kansas beat Memphis last night to win its first championship in 20 years.
Great game, but I must say I was a bit disappointed in "One Shining Moment." Mostly because of that awful female backing track they used in the song. What was wrong with Luther Vandross doing it himself? At least grant him that courtesy, especially now that he's dead.
One other complaint: can anyone give me a good explanation for why the championship game started at 9:20 Eastern time? I thought the World Series games started late, and their first pitch is an hour earlier. The game didn't end until around midnight, and "One Shining Moment" began at nearly 12:30. Come on now.

As for One Shining Moment, I'll do you one better. Why don't they use the original version by that guy you've never heard of who wrote and performed it?
