Cinderella keeps coming


Lets not leave the 14 seeds out of the Madness – Stephen F Austin just completely destroyed West Virginia 70-56 as Thomas Walkup scores 33 points and adds another mid-major champion to join the party over the weekend.

I do feel a little bad for West Virginia.  This senior class from the Lumberjacks have had a pretty incredible four years.   Tonight’s victory gives them their 116th victory over the last 4 years while they have only lost 18 times – it is also their 2nd NCAA Tournament victory as they pulled an upset in the 2014 Tournament.    I am not sure why a team that went 27-5, who is returning a senior class that has won 27 or more games each of their 4 seasons, and who also has won a tournament game is showing up as a 14 seed.

And I will continue to moan about this because the seeding this year was horrible.  But if you are a top 12 team, you have to win this game – even if it is unfair.

So, congratulations to the Lumberjacks!!!!   Enjoy your 2nd NCAA visit to the Round of 32!
