Couple of late game updates


So much to blog about – so little time. As I was cursing at my computer trying to figure out why one of my table had 357 entries and one had 356, I kind of tuned out the games. To my fairness, I expected the only game that would be close would be Texas A&M and Penn State. I was correct that Texas would end up with a big lead on Colgate and UCLA would have a big lead on UNC-Asheville. Was wrong about Houston vs Northern Kentucky.

The big news from that game is that Marcus Sasser re-injured his groin and had to leave the game early. His teammates rallied the Cougars to a victory, but if he can’t continue, that will be a huge blow to them returning to Houston for the Final 4.

I also feel horrible for Texas A&M. I don’t know what Buzz Williams did to have the committee hate him, but he had a rough week. The SEC runner-ups somehow ended up being a 7 seed, and then the committee put them up against a red hot Penn State, with a likely game against Texas if they advanced. Just brutal.

Well, Penn State continued with their red hot shooting and blew the Aggies right off the court. The Nittany Lions are certainly playing on house money right now, and since they are playing like they have nothing to lose, they look extremely dangerous. Of course, Texas has looked extremely dangerous all season – but for one night, the Nittany Lions are enjoying their time at the dance
