His engagement party was Final Four weekend.
I was in Houston.
He didn't understand and got angry.
I missed the party and his wedding, but I saw Kemba Walker lead UConn to a title.

FDU's win over Purdue is the BIGGEST UPSET in the history of the NCAA Tournament.
Why?
Unlike UMBC in 2018 or St. Peter's in 2022, FDU did not earn an AQ --- Merrimack did, but was ineligible for the postseason
And unlike UMBC or St. Peter's, FDU came from the First Four.
