So behind on bracketology


Really starting to worry if I will even get a bracket created. Have spent more time this week watching games that picking teams.

And then I just realized that thanks to Daylight Savings time, I will lose another hour.

Still, if I get a bracket, I should be able to get the 68th team correct. That is because Texas Southern (at 14-20 and a NET ranking of 302nd as of today) just upset Grambling 61-58 to claim the SWAC automatic bid.

If you like upsets, the Big 10 continues to be awesome, as bubble team Penn State beat Indiana to advance to the final against Purdue. I would have guessed the Nittany Lions were out before the Big 10 tournament started – now, they might have played their way in. While less of an upset, congrats to #7 Texas for beating #3 Kansas by 20! It is not often that a team gets beat by 20 and then gets a #1 seed the next day, but that is likely the case for the Jayhawks.

What might be the other big news is Marcus Sasser, the leader scorer for #1 Houston, left the semifinal against Cincinnati with a groin injury and did not return. He might also miss the final against Memphis tomorrow. So that is some big news for the top team in the polls.
