The Georgetown game made me sweat a bit and it wasn't just from eating hot wings. Although the hot wings were solely responsible for the diarrhea. Roy Hibbert and Jeff Green stepped it up in the second half to defeat Boston College. In their first game Sommers was huge; today it was Jonathan Wallace. The Hoyas play Vanderbilt in the Sweet 16 on Friday.
The rest of the day was exciting. Maryland somehow lost, even though they are better than the 1992 Dream Team. And Mike Jones! Who? Mike Jones! He is so great; he almost caught that pass at the end of the game. Maryland was drastically overrated and Butler took them out. VCU gave Pittsburgh a scare. Down 19, the Rams came back and sent the game into overtime. The Panthers Fields missed two free throws at the end of regulation, but played well in the overtime.
Ohio State made a late surge to send their game against Xavier into overtime. With Greg Oden fouled out, Mike Conley took over the game in the extra period and the Buckeyes finished with more points. Texas A&M outlasted Louisville and UNC pulled away from Michigan State towards the end. UCLA appeared on their way to an easy victory until Indian stormed back, but came up short. That seems to be the theme of the tournament.
Coming into the day, I could win 6 out of 8. I won 5, losing Michigan State. Three of my Final 4 teams, Georgetown, UCLA, and Ohio State advanced and I lost none of my Elite 8 teams. All in all, a good day.
