Last night was the first classic leg of the tournament. Syracuse was whistled for an unfair technical for hanging on the rim that gave Vermont a two-score lead late in the second half, but I\'m happy to see the Catamounts win since everyone got gung-ho about the Orange in about three seconds after the Big East Tournament (after they\'d been mediocre all year).
And another of my Elite 8 teams, Kansas, is merely dust in the wind. I\'d know more about this game if CBS cut to it when they should have instead of waiting until the last minute and showing us Michigan State-Old Diminion. Year after year, CBS botches the coverage and sticks with their "main game" for way too long when other games are more interesting (such as a 14 knocking off a 3).
Either way, Connecticut fans should be giddy with their path to the Elite 8 date with North Carolina looking better and better. I hate Connecticut so I have to get giddy about Georgia Tech, which outlasted GW and proved that some top seeds can live up to their billing.
Today: Texas Tech beats Gonzaga.
