A great day, a sad day.
Sad because there were only four games. Was it really only a week ago that we had a jam packed 16 games day of upsets and excitement? It feels like a month!
The great was the basketball. Starting with the upset --
(#5) Butler defeats (#1) Syracuse. That makes two of the three teams most people said were the best in the country gone before the elite eight. And another Big East school goes doooooowwwwwwnnnnnn
(#2) Kansas State over (6) Xavier in double overtime. Yes, double overtime. So many amazing plays. If you didn't see this game you missed one of the greatest games of the year. Big play after big play. Phenomenal.
(#1) Kentucky over (#12) Cornell. Yes, the Ivy League run is over but it was fun. Kentucky was just too good, especially on defense where they shut down Big red. Any other team and Cornell would have had a chance. Not Kentucky who is just head and shoulds beyond anyone else.
(#2) West Virginia over (#11) Washington. A Pac-10 team goes down. A Big East team survives. I never root for the Big East, but this sets up a match-up with Kentucky. If anyone in this bracket was going to have a shot at taking down Kentucky it was West Virginia. Saturday's game should be good...or a blow out for Kentucky.
