I saw the last few minutes of "Moments of NCAA March Madness" on CBS and they were highlighting Dustin Hogue and ISU during the loss to UConn. The few minutes I saw talked about him going back home to New York and playing at the Garden. CBS Sports is re-broadcasting this several more times over the next couple of days. http://www.cbssports.com/cbssports
CBS Sports: Moments of NCAA March Madness

- Start date
Here's a better link to the TV schedule. http://www.cbssportsnetwork.com/schedule/cbssn. It airs again tonight (Sunday) at 9pm and Monday at 9am.
I saw it yesterday. He has quite a big family and fanbase back in Yonkers. You could see how sad Hogue was after that loss but it was neat when he walked into the stands to see his friends and family that he got a standing ovation from UVA, MSU, and UConn fans while there.
The whole documentary was really well done. There was a moment where the NDSU coach was on the podium after they lost in the round of 32 and he was crying but said "This has been the best professional week of my life. I love these guys and couldn't be more proud of them. I know Barkley will probably make fun of me now." It just goes to show you how emotional and passionate players and coaches are at the collegiate level. People could care less when they make the NBA. That's one of the numerous reasons I love college ball but can't stand the pro's.

I understand if there are a few people out there who really feel differently and I am totally open to hear it if you do differ...so someone please tell me NOW, why do you like the NBA over college basketball? I get that they are professionals and should be better, but the tournament in college bball and the passion can NEVER be duplicated in the pros. It's a job. It's America. The minute you start getting a paycheck for it, you lose the passion for what you do. IMO. That's why I hate it when people say "oh, just do what you love" to other people when finding a job or career. We are all slaves to the almighty dollar in this country/society/world. If everyone truly did what they love - then no one would have "jobs" or "careers." It would be a nation of hobbyists (or masturbators if we are all like a majority of the posters on CF.) To see the college kids, where a majority of them will never see a dime after their college careers are over, go ahead and give their life to the game is just amazing. Amateurism makes all sports better. Just my 2 pennies.
