Second set of games

The second set of games are coming to a close. As we know, Purdue outlasted Northern Iowa.

Maryland has just defeated California. This was a slight upset as the fighting turtle's were ranked 10th against the 7th seed bears (who turned out to be cubs). The final score was 84-71 but the game was much closer than that indicates. Vasquez was the games leading scorer with 27 and was clearly the best player on the floor for either team. Cal shot an uncharacteristic 29% from three point range and that was one of the big factors that did them in. The Terps have the second seeded Memphis Tigers, who survived a scare from Cal State Northridge earlier today, in the second round.

North Carolina dismantled Radford by a final score of 101-58. This wasn't a shocker. Perhaps the margin of victory could be considered a surprise with Lawson on the sideline but UNC was never in danger of losing to RU.

Uconn also handled their 16 seed by a considerable margin. 103-47 is the final that Chattanooga fell victim to. A nice "win one for the gipper" victory for the Huskies in this one as they hope to have Calhoun back for their weekend game.

There are no games currently on TV here on the west coast and the only game being played right now is the Washington Huskies taking on the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The teams are currently locked at 10 all early in the first half. This is clearly my cue to go on my run for the day so I can get back before the night caps get rolling. God bless March.
