I watched the Zags loss to the bitter end of an otherwise amazing season. Mostly because I wanted to see the "One Shining Moment" video montage that always eloquently re-caps the madness in March. Because it was the first tournament in two years, I swear that I never wanted to hear a cheesy, 80's synth-pop song so badly in my entire life! Once again, the folks at CBS Sports did not disappoint.

While print media has slowly eroded over the years thanks to the internet, it is still an honor to make the cover of venerable publication "Sports Illustrated".

The Gonzaga Bulldogs, looking to return to the championship game for the second year in a row, got all they could handle in their first round game against UNC-Greensboro in the West Region of the 2018 NCAA men's basketball tournament.
