Even Alfords Don't Count UCLA Goaltend as a Three

After Bryce Alford's big game last night these interesting quotes came out:

"When Bryce Alford made nine against SMU on March 19, 2015, one was awarded on a goaltending call. So, his father playfully doesn't count it.

This time, he has no choice.

''He got me, the most I ever made as a player was eight,'' Steve Alford said. ''I always thought I had him. I was not giving him the SMU game, but I have to give him this.''

Thanks, dad."

I wanted to barf into a trash can after reading this.

I haven't felt the same about the NCAA tournament since that day. Just can't watch with the same sense of enjoyment. Maybe I will get over it when SMU wins a game. I don't know. Maybe, just maybe, this is the year that washes the sins of Louisville 2015 out of my sports consciousness.
