Sure, you took away my beloved Boilermakers from me. But how can you stay mad at March Madness when it just continues to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
