I said for this tournament, same as before ACC. MD can go deep, or die early. I went with them, then switched at last minute (what do they say about going with your gut?). Guess I picked wrong.
Oh well, I also made last minute switch from Manhattan to Florida (at exactly 11:45 EST today, same time I flipped to picking against UMD) - I never liked Billy Donovan anyway

I am sitting smack dab center of the fence on half the games in the tournament anymore. It used to be that a top seed could count on two pretty easy games - doesn't seem like that anymore. Top 40 teams, anybody can win at any time. Some are better bets than others, but anything can hppen when they toss it up.

6 for 6 so far. Doesn't that mean I'm tied for #1 in the country? Probably just jinxed myself for the rest of the night.
Picked the Manhattan upset correctly. Along those lines, mick couldn't access the bracket, so he sent me his picks to insert last night. This morning, he emails me with one change. Manhattan over Florida. Pretty good change!  Oh! And the ACC is 2-0, although they both had to fight for their lives. Hopefully, we'll be 4-0 come tomorrow morning.

More to the point. . .
MSU came up short again against an NCAA tournament team - that closes them out at 2-9 for the year against Big Dance partners, with losses at home, road, and neutral court.
Big Ten Postseason 1-3 (with 2 first round NIT losses) ACC 4-0 Boy, it's obvious the Big Ten got hosed this year.

Two observations about Carolina-Air Force
#1 - Games at 8 sites and we get stuck with Packer. #2 - If the Heels could hit layups, they'd be up 10. If Sean May could hit layups, he'd be unstoppable. Hope they come out with a little more fire.

Wake sneaks by a 13 seed by 1 point. Maryland squeaks by 13-seed UTEP by 3. Duke played some high school team from Alabama. UNC is having all it can handle from Air Force. You can't possibly think the ACC has been all that impressive today.

Nevada played big in the second half. Loved Manhattan earlier today. Expecting more from Valpo. Great to see Izzo whine and lose. I geeked out and bought the NCAA package on the dish, so I've been able to pick my game and switch around. Work from home, so I've been able to catch more than usual, although I got busy and missed most of the second block of games. Boys HS State tourney is on TV, too, but I'm only watching bits of that. --Rich
