Wow... what a fun ride...  It was such a magical season.  In college basketball there are few things more fun and/or more rewarding then the NCAA Tournament.  Many refer to it as the "Big Dance" and it is the pinnacle of College Basketball.

March Madness:  It begins with the Conference tournaments in which the winner gets an automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.  It concludes with the Final Four that takes place at Ford Field in Detroit this year.  Between that time is some of the most exciting time in all of sport.  Buzzer beaters, slam dunks, floor burns, cheers and tears.  It's all covered in the 3 weeks of Madness.

We had a great group of guys to work with this season at the University of Dayton.  16 teammates that selflessly worked hard, everyday, to be the best team they could become.  Although we lost a few members to injury along the way, the guys stayed unified in pursuit of reaching their full potential. 

From the moment our names were called on 'Selection Sunday' to the final buzzer when we lost to Kansas in the 2nd Round it was an experience that we will all take with us for a lifetime.  We learned a lot about each other and a lot about ourselves.  We discovered what it truly means to have everyone invested in the team and no individual being bigger then the whole.  Sacrifice, togetherness, hard work and toughness.  These characteristics defined this year's Dayton Flyer Basketball team. 

I am very thankful for being a part of such a special team.  I'm already looking forward to dusting off our dancing shoes again next March.

Thanks to holos fitness for all the support.

Go Flyers!!
