Leaving the Paris ballroom reserved exclusively for March Madness will be very, very difficult today. Four screens, a diverse collection of extremely vocal fans, and free booming wireless will make moving from this spot an unattractive proposition. Thanks to there being nary an odds board in sight, I’m able to post without fear of interference from the casino workers and the folks from the Nevada gaming commission.
Oh, and the baguettes--mon frere, don’t forget the baguettes! The only thing more delicious was the obvious anti-Duke sentiment surging through the crowd in the final ten minutes of the game.
