CBS is now the P.T. Barnum of our day; and March Madness is the greatest show on earth. And the talking heads on ESPN and the savvy veterans who follow the game, they hooted and hollered after yesterday’s matchup of Pittsburgh vs. Villanova—great game, a game to remember, one for the records.
And when the players face off at center court and the ball goes up, and the game begins—it is all about enthusiasm, energy, effort. Sometimes it comes down to one play—a box out so a teammate gets a rebound; or going over a screen instead of below it; or a lazy pass that goes out of bounds because you took your mind off the game for a minute; or a rushed shot for a low percentage when odds favored a pass or two; or a careless and lazy dribble off your foot; or a missed free throw.
Winning versus losing, surviving and advancing, sometimes it all comes down to one play and that is why:
They
Count every play
Because
Every Play Counts.
