The 2009 NCAA Tournament is dead and buried and next year's fun is a mere 49 weeks away, so let's do what the internet is made for - react immediately, ask open ended questions and ramble. Before we start, let's congratulate North Carolina -- coming into the season they were the best team in the country and they certainly proved it in this tournament. The Tarheels were unstoppable and earned the title. That being said:
- Do you think Roy Williams took an IV before the game to make sure he didn't get dehydrated from all the tears that would be flowing?
- On the whole, this won't be remembered as a great tournament. There was a ton of chalk, very few upsets and no true Cinderella runs. Other than the Villanova-Pitt classic, I can't think of my other moments that really stand out.
- What was the deal with the rims in Detroit? Either they had microphones nearby or they were just loose and sort of "clanky." That was the best they could do? Speaking of which, Ford Field made the Carrier Dome look intimate.
- If you didn't have a team in the Final Four, it made for some brutal viewing.
- Clark Kellogg wasn't great, but compared to Billy Packer the man was a virtuoso.
- I guess my prediction on a "very close game" tonight didn't exactly come true.
- You have to wonder if this was the last NCAA tournament for Jim Calhoun - with advancing age, health issues and an NCAA investigation looming - who knows what he has left.

- While this wasn't a classic tournament, next March can't get here soon enough.
