The NCAA Men’s Final Four is over, but we had a great time when the tournament was in town.

One of the big events – other than the basketball games, of course – was the Men’s Final Four Fan Fest, a four-day extravaganza at the Phoenix Convention Center that allowed attendees to participate in a wide range of sports-themed activities.

Here’s a look back at all the fun.
