Wow, Kansas goes down. I thought it would be either Duke or Syracuse. Two of my final four teams are now out, but the team I picked to win it all is still in it (KSU).
Well, I had Gonzaga today -- ouch. In the first quarter, with Gonzaga up by five, I was hopeful. I didn't think it would turn into a rout.
How about the Spartans? A last-second three-point buzzer beater defeats the Terps! That was one exciting finish. I wish MSU well, even though I don't have them in my final four. I also hope that the injury they sustained today (K. Lucas) isn't too serious.
If not for Murray State squeaking past Vanderbilt in round 1, that half of the West region would have been perfect for me. That and the bottom half of the East region have been my saving graces...
Congrats to Butler (Cinderella) and WVU for making it to the Final Four.
UK just could not pass up the 3-point shot against WVU's 1-3-1 zone, and it cost them. So many players fouled out in this game too, at least 5 of them.
While I was sad to see my wildcats go, I am not surprised. They looked absolutely exhausted from the beginning whistle. I think the game from Xavier just did them in. Still, a great, great season for KSU, and nothing at all to feel bad about. The Xavier/KSU game is still, to me, the best game of the tourney so far.
Now that Kentucky is out, this will be interesting.. WVU, Butler.. and who in next? Hell, I'd love to see Butler win it all at this point - a possibility. It'd be a real life Hoosiers.
