The Game of Games

The Game of Games

This was the game of games where Jane was not plain.  Carolina was number one and Villanova was number two.  It was a game where in the end Carolina was supposed to win.  The legendary Michael Jordan came out to give Carolina a momentous shout out!  It was even televised on three television channels.  One was for national coverage and the other two were respectively for the team you chose to root for.  Never had this been done before.

The first half proved to be easy math but Villanova kept things close.  It was a performance for which Carolina was not going to boast.  As the chimes rang Villanova hit a three pointer with which to change the tide and it was on this momentum that they began to ride.  What got into the mix was more than pride.  Villanova felt they had the ability and soon began to see the possibility and so it made sense to maintain a hot defense.  Carolina was unable to run and gun and so we were all now able to see the plausibility of a setting sun.

As the end came near the crowd began to wildly cheer!  Villanova was not about to choke and they played with absolutely no fear.  Carolina played as if they had a ship that they were unable to steer.  How to defeat their foe became muddy waters that looked not to be so clear.  The plan to fast break seemed to have sank in the middle of the lake.  Villanova controlled the tempo.  Villanova controlled the flow and Villanova controlled what they were going to let us know and that was how in the end they were going to win.

Carolina was not about to be denied so with but seconds left the game was tied.  They had no foul to give and Villanova knew this and so set out to pursue this.  With but seconds left on the clock with a war tied at seventy four ten brave men took to the floor.  The sweat from all of them profusely began to pour.  All Carolina needed was one defensive stop so as to enter into the chimes of overtime.  Villanova passed the ball in and shot for glory and this brought a stupendous end to a magnificent story!

This was the game of games where Jane was not plain.  Carolina was number one and Villanova was number two but in the end the underdog would win and so to the victor came shouts and wide open grins.  Villanova continued to breathe because Villanova continued to believe.  It was only after they were done, it was only after they had won and it was only after the setting of a glorious sun that the opposed rose to garner victory's belief, however so brief.
