NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament 2021: Round of 64 Day 2 – Evening

The UConn men are up tonight along with my very favorite team, Gonzaga. Yes, I know I’m an East coast gal who graduated from some highly rated East coast universities, NYU being one of them, and Gonzaga is a Jesuit run institution named after Jesuit saint Aloysius Gonzaga and I’m not Catholic, not even close. When I lived in Washington DC area years ago , I met a man in a piano bar who as tinkering at the baby grand. I joined him tinkering and we became friends, often having dinner together. He was a graduate of Gonzaga and a law professor at Georgetown, also a Jesuit priest. He was a bit older than I was but we remained pals until he passed away years ago.  The other reasons  I root for Gonzaga, besides the team coming such a long way to being unbeaten and #1, it’s a great name to shout –  GONZAGA!!! I am sure my Jesuit friend, where ever he is, is cheering for them, too.

Up Date: An N.C.A.A. men’s tournament game was canceled because of the virus. No. 10 seed V.C.U. was declared a no-contest, and No. 7 seed Oregon will advance.
