It's MADNESS part2
Some better pics of a typical game day food fare:
Philly Cheesteak smoothered in cheese sauce, onions, mushrooms, and peppers.......
A few slices of the tender and moist BBQ Brisket.....
Jumbo Dog with cheese, sauerkraut, spicy yellow mustard, and pickle spears with a side of beefy nachos! YUM!
After loading up my plates and filling my stomach, I head back to table to check out all the action...
I have to say this is a great game, it's a nail biting one with the lead changing back and forth. I'm nervous for my Wildcats!
A lay up gives them a one point lead.........
At the half time, Arizona's up 3!
Time for another break, let's head to the dessert section for some Root Beer Floats
Arrrrgh! In the second half, Arizona is sluggish and it's a close game again......
With some smart plays and a short run, we're up by 7! Can't be too excited as anything can happen in the NCAA tournament, it ain't over 'til it's over.
Memphis does well and makes a comeback
Now it's down to the wire with only 14.2 seconds left, Memphis has a chance to tie it up.
Luckily Arizona holds on to win their first game in the tournament, 77-75!!!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!!!
Next up is a tough team on Sunday in 4th seed Texas. Back in 1997, U of A surprised everyone to upset Kansas in overtime to win the championship, it's a longshot but you never know what can happen.
In other games, Ohio State breeze through Texas-San Antonio and looks strong to take the 2011 championship. Michigan trounces Tennessee after some pregame drama. Virginia Commonweath surprises Georgetown with a win to play Perdue next.
Anyone else watching the games? IS your favorite team in it this year? Any predictions to take it? With the wins over Old Dominion and Southeast Regional's #1 seed Pittsburgh, it seems like Butler is the cinderella team this year.

I like 'basketball' tourney...
Hey DRMW, Cool post! This weekend excitement made me like 'basketball tourney'... I'm moving toward loving 'basketball tourney'... oh well, need to be more attentive & be in a winner category next year GOOOO MIDWEST , ATM
Nice environment,
must be satisfying to have a good meal while watching a game going in favor of the team you're rooting for .
re: Nice environment
It was a lot of fun as the basketball games were really good. -MW
I know zero about basketball...
...but I do like to watch the Lakers or Clippers play from the company suite at Staples when I get the opportunity. Instead of March Madness basketball, my girlfriends and I play something called Fug Madness which is a March Madness like tourney involving...
it's a easy game to follow....
Doesn't a Lakers fan sitting with you explain to you the rules when you go to the suite? If you aren't into the game, they have Canter's pastrami sandwiches there! -MW
Don't get me wrong...
...I enjoy watching the game live and understand some of the basic rules, but mainly my goal in life while in the suite is to wait for the dessert cart to roll on by so we can gorge on sweets like caramel apples and brownies! Cheers, Daos
Hard to comment
On the game itself since it is not my expertise but watching the game is exciting! Thank u for the glimpses given into the games, Ming! So much fun! Is that a regular trip u make regularly every season? Apology, but my attention diverted almost instantly ...
re: comment
Hello Linda, My two favorite sports is Basketball and (American) Football. College basketball is exciting because anything can happen and there's usually a 'Cinderella' team that is the underdog of the tourney. Unlike baseball with so many games, In footb...
I think of food all the time
Ming, thank u for explaining. I know how 'hot' basketball n football in America. Indeed exciting! I like rib-eye steak! Will dream of Philly Cheesesteak! I regret that CH and I cannot make it to IGOTT2. Hopefully another time we can. Cheers,Linda
re: all the time
When you make it out this way, we've got lots of places for you to try! -MW
Now now......
Don't tempt me, Ming. I am easily bribed with good food Do u hace CUT (Wolfgang Puck) in your city ? It opened few months back here. Delicious rib-eye steak they have I am looking forward for Robuchon to open soon here. Cheers,Linda
yes!
Rib-eye? You have the same tastes and my brother and I! Cut has been open for about 3 years, it's very good but I prefer Mastro's which is up the street. Cut has Kobe beef and their apps and sides are more interesting than Mastro's but their cream corn an...
Spot On !
Having culinary rendezvous with u and Ed will be dangerous liason for CH n I knowing the similar palette! CUT so far so good. Meaning overall performance, the rib-eye, sides, service n price. So far I have only been to Robuchon in Hongkong, Paris and Toky...
I bet I haven't had a rot beer float in over 30 years!
That one looks great! Have fun! Best, CaliforniaJed
It was gooooood!!!!!
Good ice cream with a nice root beer makes a great float! Simple yet delicious, maybe make one for your kids? -MW
I just like it when the underdogs beat the top seeds!
bye bye Louisville, Pitt, Gtown..LOL... enjoy guys! I am following Nadal V Djokovic...sadly..federer's time has passed...
SWEET 16 baby!!!!!!!
With the 70-69 win over Texas tonight, we're in the SWEET 16! Hopefully they pull a miracle against Duke. -MW
Whatttt!
You're in Las Vegas again?=0 You must love it there - it seems like you're there all the time - except when you're in Hawaii... Sounds fun, Helen
re: Whaattttt
Tons of fun Helen! Vegas is only a 260+ miles drive from L.A. to Vegas so it's a quick weekend getaway. Hawaii is always awesome so I go whenever I get a chance. -MW
