Yeah, it's early

but letting the 15 seed start with a 10-0 run? Probably not a good thing.

Hell yes it is a good thing, so long as it doesn't happen to KSU!

Bring on the Chaos!

Ouch...21 point swing to end the half.
Yeah

I guess Huggy got ’em in a huddle and said, “You WANNA be Georgetown?”

Does not look like any miracle shots will be necessary today for WVU.
I keep waiting for Temple to ruin my afternoon

but Cornell’s lead just keeps getting bigger…

Yet another game I had correct on my upset bracket, but not on my real bracket

D’oh!

I did tell you guys that picking Cornell was almost too easy, though.

I can understand that

I made 2 brackets: No. 1 was supposed to be reasonable with a little bit of who I’m rooting for (or against). No. 2 was put together based on who I’m rooting for with a little bit of reason. And by “little bit of reason” I mean it includes such gems as UAPB making a sweet-sixteen run, 5 big 12 teams in the elite-eight, and K-State over Baylor for the championship.

They’re currently tied, but No. 2 has a better upside, and when Cornell finishes off Temple No, 2 will be ahead with a better upside.

A-10 FAIL = mini-Big East FAIL
Xavier's at least salvaging some A-10 pride.
1 out of 3 still ain't good

When the other 2 were both upset by even smaller mid-majors.

Hell, they were supposed to get 4-6 bids. Whatever happened to that?

I'm still at work, guys

So keep them updates coming…

Not much to update right now.

Huggyboys already won, and X and the Smart Kids are comfortably rolling.

Startling news I just caught

Bellotti resigned as AD at Oregon to go work for ESPN. Never saw that one coming.

Whoa, that's crazy

So he just fired Ernie Kent, and then he bails? What is that?

Wonder if he had issues with Chip Kelly and the various black eyes they’ve been having since he took over.

Of course, I guess ESPN is one entity that actually can pay more than Phil Knight.

Oregon has lost control of their football team...so he left we the leaving was good.
Siena/Purdue under way
Mizzou was getting beat by its own game, but the Tigers are starting to settle in now.
Much less eventful second day than the first so far
Purdue getting some separation

up by 12

At least I had Siena

losing to A&M…

Gah, Cowboys.

Oh, well. 5-2 is nothing to be ashamed of. I mean, we could be the Big East…

The Houston half-court shot at half time

may be the ugliest made half-court shot of all time.

On a side note, I now hope Gary Williams and his fighting band of carnivorous turtles lose by three. I really dislike that guy.
