BYU Cougars teammates Jimmer Fredette (32), Kyle Collingsworth (31), and Charles Abouo celebrate their 89-67 victory over the Gonzaga Bulldogs during the third round of the 2011 NCAA men’s basketball tournament at the Pepsi Center.

I covered rounds two and three in Denver, Colo. during March Madness. I rented a Nikon D700 (a camera I am considering buying) and a 400mm f2.8 lens not knowing if I would have a floor position to shoot from. Although even though I had a spot down low, I used the 400 to shoot tight crosscourt on both benches.

My favorite game was in round three between BYU and Gonzaga. There was a lot of good action and watching BYU guard Jimmer Fredette play in the zone was awesome!
