When I visited the Louvre in Paris (humble brag alert), I was most struck by the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The statue of a robed figure with wings is displayed, alone, at the the top of a staircase. As you climb the steps, you have no choice but to embrace its majesty. You can have your Mona Lisa, for my money, that’s the piece to see. If I was going to distill that work of art into a basketball game, it would encapsulate the defensive effort from the No. 9 Cincinnati Bearcats against the Temple Owls last night.
