CBS Sportsline hits the nail on the head with this piece that lists the top 10 heroic moments of the tourney so far. Fittingly, the honor of being #1 goes to a little known coach for actions that took place off the court:

The first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament saw a handful of heroic performances, but only one hero.

...

1. Kevin Kuwik, Ohio: The Ohio assistant coach left early Tuesday for Iraq, where he will complete the second half of his 18-month tour of duty with the U.S. Army. Kuwik, a captain in the Army reserves, used his 15-day leave to be with the Bobcats in the NCAA Tournament. He's the biggest hero on this list. The only hero, frankly.

I couldn't agree more - - it's the actions of heroes like Kevin Kuwik that afford us the luxury of enjoying March Madness to its fullest. If you see a serviceman over the next few weeks, be sure take a few minutes from your heated discussion about which #1 seed is "really" the best to thank him for making certain that's the most pressing controversy in your life.
