While I don't really consider Thursday, March 17 as Day 3 in the NCAA Tournament, it technically is due to the 60-68 teams fighting for the 60-64 slots (i.e. Win to Get In). But, I will say that it was Day 3...
Anyway...yesterday was INTENSE! Now that I have actually filled out a bracket, I'm intently watching the scores, hoping against all hope that the teams I picked move on.
The games were:
West Virginia vs Clemson - Clemson led early, but couldn't hold on
Princeton vs Kentucky - Kentucky lucked out with just a two point lead in the last seconds
Louisville vs Morehead State - Morehead State hits a three with seconds to go for 1 point lead
Butler vs Old Dominion - Butler pulls out 2 point lead beating the buzzer with crazy layup
Vanderbilt vs Richmond - Richmond sinks a 3-pt at the 18 sec mark to seal 3 pt lead
San Diego State vs Northern Colorado - Colorado kept up with SD until 2nd half
UCLA vs Michigan State - Spartans had a late surge, but it was still too late
Pittsburgh vs UNC-Asheville - UNCA put up a good fight, but were no match for Pitt
BYU vs Wofford - BYU almost lost out, but Fredette's 32 points helped edge out Wofford
Connecticut vs Bucknell - unfortunately, no contest
Cinncinati vs Missouri - Missouri kept up with Cinnci, but couldn't pull it out
Temple vs Penn State - Temple pulls out a 2 point win over the Lions
Florida vs UC Santa Barbara - UCSB wasn't even in the same league
Utah State vs Florida State - they kept it close, but Florida State were the winners
Gonzaga vs St. John's - Gonzaga put the hurt on St. John's
Wisconsin vs Belmont - Belmont didn't really have a chance
I'm currently in 2nd Place in our office, which is cool. We'll see how long it lasts...
Here is my updated bracket:
Stay tuned for more NCAA action!!
