Sure, you took away my beloved Boilermakers from me. But how can you stay mad at March Madness when it just continues to deliver.
Congratulations to #10 Rutgers, who just won their first NCAA Tournament game in 38 years as they hit a late layup to take a surmountable 4 point lead (Clemson probably should have fouled instead of playing it out). But hind-sight is 20/20. Not to mention that I think I had Clemson upsetting Houston – so it is probably my fault they lost anyways.
#11 Syracuse is crushing #6 San Diego State by 20 points with only 4 minutes left. Of course, that makes sense for the ACC – since Clemson, North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech all lost, so of course, their 7th team into the tournament will be the one that wins in dominating fashion.
#12 Winthrop is only down 3 against Villanova with about 14 minutes to play. If Winthrop wins, they will guarantee a double digit seed makes the second weekend since they would play #13 North Texas.
#14 Morehead State is only down 7 at halftime to West Virginia – since Syracuse is awaiting the winner, a comeback from them would also guarantee a double-digit seed making it to the Sweet 16.
Close games. Lots of drama. Overtimes. The Lunatic can’t stay mad at March Madness!!!! Despite my team’s loss, it is still so much fun to watch the NCAA tournament.
