    Pretty much.

    Great job by Purdue to get back into this game (30-25 UCONN at the half).

    I would not be surprised if Xavier beat them. I watched them a lot since my alma mater is in the A-10.

    Pressure is all on the Pitt Panthers.

    Last Final Four appearance: 1941

    Xavier up by 8 on Pitt, 37-28.

    That would be nice.

    Going into the tournament here's what I was hoping would happen:
    -Washington would advance to at least the Sweet 16 (negative)
    -UCONN, Duke and UNC would lose early (negative)
    -Wake Forest would do well (negative)
    -There would be at least a few Cinderella's (negative)
    -One of the 1 or 2 seeds would lose early (negative)

    So, I have my reasons for not liking this year's Tourney (it doesn't mean I won't keep watching though).

    If you want excitement you can always watch the ladies tournament and the UCONN women steamroll over everyone. Now there's high drama.

    We might have three Big East teams winning tonight.

    Pitt and UConn already won. Will Villanova be the third?

    Villanova defense doing what you need to do to stop Duke. Stay tight on their 3-point shooters, dont collapse when guys like Scheyer drive into the lane and kick out.

    Nova should be up by double digits right now....they've missed alot of wide open shots. But their defense is putting on a clinic right now.

    19 point lead for Missouri!!!

    I've gotta say, I thought this team was overrated heading into the tournament, but I was very wrong.

    I didnt see this one coming at all. Marquette had them beat last round and let that game slip away.

    Bad news: Duke is playing terribly and has no answer for Villanova's defense.

    Good news: Duke is only down three.

    Bad news: The refs are calling everything tonight. Way too many tick tack fouls against both teams.

    Trying to remove my bias for a second.....its gonna be almost impossible for Duke to win this game. Only way is if they can get Nova in foul trouble, get alot of points at the line and hope Nova goes cold from the field.

    I dont see them generating enough points with their offense. When Nova's locks down on the perimeter, Duke has nowhere else to go.

    I guess this is just going to be another one of those years where Duke doesn't recruit a REAL center, and it shows in the tournament.
