HERE IN THE REAL WORLD

*** For the last 32 seconds I was believing . I was wishing & hoping big time . Butler was about to beat mighty Duke .

I was going to witness Hoosiers become real life . Butler played the last half minute just perfect , except the shots didn't go in . It looked like both shots were going to drop ,but both rimmed out .

Jimmy Chitwood did not miss but Gordon Hayward did . Twice in the last 6 seconds . OH I was pulling so hard for the shots to fall . Both shots were oh so close . When that 50 footer bounced out I heard Alan Jackson singing Here in the real world .

Hayward is the guy Butler wanted taking the shot . In the movies that shot goes in, every time . But in the real world it just didn't . I really felt Butler's pain .

The tournament was great . 40 % of the games from the Sweet 16 to the final were decided by 5 or less . Take the same 16 , play it out again ,I bet you get many different outcomes .

What happens now ?

Does Coach K take that 15 million a year to coach the Nets ?

Will Butler be able to pay Brad Stevens enough to keep him ? Stevens makes about 350,000 . Some bigger schools will triple that .

Will Gordon Hayward go to the NBA ? The Smart Money says go, Gordon"s draft position will never be any better . Most feel Hayward is a first round pick right now. Could be a lottery pick .

Will we see another mid - major get this far ? Was the Butler run a once in a lifetime thing ?

Will Sigler come back to Duke for his senior year ?

Who will Cal lose,& who will he get to replace them ?

Can you win the NCAA championship with one & done players ?

HERE IN THE REAL WORLD
IT'S NOT THAT EASY AT ALL
WHERE HEARTS GET BROKEN
AND REAL TEARS THAT FALL
