Forgive anyone who was expecting yesterday to be a dreadful bore. After all, the weekend which preceded it had been marked by a near-absence of competition, and a complete lack of same in the NCAA Final Four contests. Why expect Monday to turn out differently?

And yet once the dust settled, those who chose to absorb the entire day got three championship games decided by a total of 20 points, over half of which were the result of a disqualification-induced 14-2 closing run by one champion.
