The Ball Is Tipped!


The ball is tipped
and there you are
you're running for your life
you're a shooting star
And all the years
no one knows
just how hard you worked
but now it shows...
(in) ONE SHINING MOMENT, IT'S ALL ON THE LINE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, THERE FROZEN IN TIME

But time is short
and the road is long
in the blinking of an eye
ah that moment's gone
And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED DEEP INSIDE
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE

Feel the beat of your heart
feel the wind in your face
it's more than a contest
it's more than a race...

And when it's done
win or lose
you always did your best
cuz inside you knew...
(that) ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU REACHED FOR THE SKY
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU KNEW
ONE SHINING MOMENT, YOU WERE WILLING TO TRY
ONE SHINING MOMENT....

After "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", this is my favorite sports song.

Kansas beats Memphis 75-68 in OT!!!

Any thoughts on the game? Post your comments here!

Is anybody else questioning Scott's math? I don't want to be mean, but I came up with different sums for my brackets.

Decent game, great shot by Chalmers, somewhat anti-climatic OT. While the championship game was a pretty good one, the tournament as a whole was unspectacular. Davidson was about the only real good story.

I think underclassmen coming out early is bringing down the quality and intrigue of March Madness. Too bad, but nothing can really be done about it.
