43 stories. 16 video/audio appearances.
Plus: breaking news, photography, and bit of coverage of men’s college basketball too.
It was a grind, y’all. But it was also a whole lot of fun.
My laptop power cord died. I lost the key to my room at my AirBnb. I got a cold. The NCAA didn’t give me parking passes. The day before I left Durham for Albany, my Jeep required an expensive trip to the mechanic.
A whole lot that could’ve gone wrong during March did for me. And yet, I wouldn’t have traded it for anything. Covering my fourth Final Four — and earlier rounds in Albany, N.Y. and Columbia, S.C. — was an absolute blast. I got to tell some stories, take some photos, and talk about the game with some of my favorite people.
