...and #8 Loyola-Chicago takes down #1 Illinois 71-58...

I'm in the same boat with you, Mike. I wanted SB to win today but more so for the conference. I just don't much care for their coach....

Well that's one heck of a sad way to be eliminated from the tournament!

Geez Louise! My wife and I were able to listen to the radio broadcast of the game while we were driving to Yucca Valley today. We could barely believe what we were hearing...complete domination on both sides of the ball after those two turnovers early in the first quarter and I'm completely loving our defense.

The team certainly put an exclamation point on the win in our 1000th football game.
I have to say though, I feel for Poly. That was a tough outing for them today.

My wife and I will be on the road driving to Joshua Tree National Park so I hope I will be able to stream the radio broadcast. It will make the drive fell shorter if the Ags pick up a W. GO AGS!!

I'd like to see the west teams do well. I'm surprised that Syracuse is routing SDSU at the moment.

Another win for a Cinderella team as #13 North Texas knocks off #4 Purdue 78-69 in OT. North Texas won 4 games in 4 days to win the Conference USA tournament to get into the tournament and this is their first NCAA Tournament win ever. March Madness at its best!

Yep...#12 OSU #5 Tennessee 56. I hope the 12 vs 5 jinx holds true for the Lady Ags on Monday!

Sorry that that messed with your final four but I do love it when the little programs take down the big dogs...

First big upset of the tournament: #15 seed Oral Roberts beats #2 Ohio State 75-72 in OT.

My wife and I will be traveling for a month to Joshua Tree National Park, Tucson and Sedona and are leaving Saturday morning. Does anyone know if there will be any television replays of the game?

The Bee article highlighting the Hall and the Aggies made the front page of the Sac Bee today. Great publicity for the program.

UCI did miss a lot of shots, many of which were 3's that often go long and end up being 50/50 balls. We got beat on those long rebounds way too often.

We definitely have to find a way to limit them from getting multiple shots per possession. We gave up 17 offensive boards to Irvine and still managed to win going away but MSU will torch us if they pounds us on the offensive boards.

I've been watch UCLA and Michigan State and I sure wouldn't want to play for Tom Izzo. His players argue with each other and Izzo gets in the faces of his players. UCLA drained a last second long two before the half and Izzo got into an argument with his player, Brown. Thery continued to argue into the tunnel and Izzo grabbed Brown by the jersey and Brown swatted his hand away. Izzo is known to get hot and into his players and his players seem to give it right back to him. That's an unacceptable culture, IMO.

Another barnburner: Norfolk State held off a furious rally by Appalachian State to win 54-53. Appy came back from 18 down to fall one point short.
