More Tournament Thoughts

There was finally an upset tonight! Actually, I'm not sure how much of an upset it was. Virginia Commonwealth, the 11th seed in the West regional, knocked off the 6th seeded Duke Blue Devils, 79-77. Eric Maynor hit the game winner with two seconds left to give VCU the win. VCU now awaits the winner of Pittsburgh-Wright State. I actually got this upset right, unlike my picks of ORU, Old Dominion, George Washington and Texas Tech. My brackets need Xavier, Gonzaga, North Carolina, and Pittsburgh to come through in the late games.

Ohio State took it easy on Central Connecticut State, only beating them by 21.

Michigan State got the first win for a team in a dark jersey, knocking off Marquette, 61-48. MSU was a #9 seed, so this is no surprise.

UCLA had their way with Cream o' Weber, with an easy 70-42 win.

In the late afternoon game, Vanderbilt showed up. George Washington didn't. Vandy won by a score of 77-44. GW left their game in Atlantic City last week.

More later...
