Wow.

The conclusion to the Division II Men's National Championship game - won by Barton over Winona State - was one of the best of the postseason.

If you missed the game, check out the highlights tonight. I have a feeling Bobby Buffaloe's steal > Anthony Atkinson's game-winning layup will be the SportsCenter No. 1 this evening - regardless of what happens in the DI Elite 8 games.

I got to know the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference, the league Barton is in, pretty well during my years in Goldsboro. It's always been regarded as a tough DII conference and the Bulldogs more than solidified that with their run this year. Hats off to coach Ron Lievense and his team.

Looking forward to some of the stories/blogs from the Wilson Daily Times on this game ...

You said it, Gabe. The Bulldogs just amazed everyone this year. Atkinson put on one of the greatest 3-day performances in NCAA history — at any level!
