Man, that was a nice smoke - a JR Ult. Petit Cetro Maduro while sitting out in front of the shop flirting with pretty girls in the parking lot on this lovely last day of winter. But enough about me an my tough life.

That Murray State win can be considered an upset, but not a huge one. In fact, some experts gave them a good shot at the victory, and they proved them right. And some are calling the Northern Iowa game an upset too, but they are wrong. Although I did question their ranking earlier in this thread, it was not because I thought they were a bad team. They have some good offensive options, and play good D. Besides, no 8/9 game can be called an upset. However, there's no doubt that the win by Ohio U over Georgetown was one of the biggest in recent history. Remember, two weeks ago the Bobcats were dead, while Georgetown was regaining their power, and made a run to the championship game of the Big East tourney. Be honest now. If you had OU in your bracket, you either know nothing about basketball or you thought it was OSU instead.

So far today, 15-seed Morgan State is hanging tough with 2-seed West Virginia, as is 12-seed Cornell with 5-seed Temple. I'd be surprised if they hold onto it, but after yesterday . . . who knows? One game I do see as a possible "upset" today is Siena over Purdue.

If you guys want to discuss any of the games from yesterday, or today, such as the Wake win over Texas, the survival of Tennessee, or the squeekers Kentucky and Kansas had, please feel free. Later.
