NCAA Tournament: UCONN wins it all

It was a luxurious experience to shoot the 2014 NCAA Men's Championship. With "no dog in the fight" so-to-speak (the team I cover, Wisconsin, was eliminated on Saturday), I had no deadline and was under no pressure to actually produce anything usable.

I also had no shooting spot on the floor. But thanks to the generous support of our friends at Canon Professional Services (thank you!), they loaned me a new 600mm lens to shoot from one of the elevated shooting positions in the stands. Here's a few mild successes...
