Ditto

The 6 seeds this year looked really dangerous, and instead West Virginia bombed out against Dayton, UCLA shit themselves against Nova, and Marquette barely escaped Utah State.

I had UCLA in the Sweet 8, too...

…but I also had Wake in the Sweet 4, after a Final 16 win over West Virginia.

Fucked, thy name is Hawkeye State.

These games suck so bad.

I hope the evening games are better. Although if Duke is on the losing end of a beating like this, I’ll be OK with that.

Washington seems

to be shooting better this half and is playing better defense. Boilers hanging on – not getting the open looks they had in the first half.

Iowa's Metcalf to wrestle live on ESPN right now.

For the National Championship at 149 and the team Championship as well? This is my 20 minutes of watching wrestling for the year…should be exciting.

Apparently facts are weak things when they face personal philosophies.

Yep, Metcalf is up now

A win gets him the indiv. title at 149 and locks up the team title for Iowa.
