Virginia
Patience in all things. The University of Virginia Cavaliers waited 250 years to win their first NCAA basketball championship. The university founded by Thomas Jefferson, the writer of the Declaration of Independence, has risen to the heights of college basketball. Led by the defensive minded and humble Coach Tony Bennett, the Cavaliers suffered the ultimate humiliation in 2018 in being the first team losing as the #1 seed to the #16 seed UMBC. Our son Alex actually predicted the win!
Last nights game was worthy of a championship with the talented upstart Texas Tech surprising the world with their magical tourney run and being on the cusp of their first national championship. The game went into OT, with Virginia winning the game displaying collected poise and heroic 3 point shooting.
The great Ralph Sampson and founding father Thomas Jefferson must be smiling, indeed "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Happiness was achieved by the Cavaliers.
With Love,
Coach K
