North Carolina beat Gonzaga 71-65 in the 2017 NCAA National Basketball Championship at University of Phoenix Stadium on April 3, 2017.
It is interesting to think back to me at age 10.
Monday’s loss was more difficult than the Adam Morrison-led Zags who gave the game away to the UCLA Bruins in 2006, and that was pretty darn hard to live through, especially at that age. I thought my life was in shambles that day. I never thought I would recover.
At that point in life, the ability to understand loss was not fully developed.
