Man. My bracket got absolutely busted today. I went in the day sitting pretty, having finished the first day 15-1. Barely nicked by the Arizona-Buffalo game that everyone was talking about. OK, first game of the day, Texas A&M beats Providence 73-69. Now I'm 16-1. Purdue beats CSU Fullerton. No brainer. Then Marshal beats Wichita State. Oh well, upsets do happen. I had them losing in the R32 anyway. We recover. Cincinnati soundly beats Georgia State. UNC shells Lipscomb. Butler beats Arkansas, although it did get close near the first half. West Virginia over Murray State. Nevada comes from behind and sneaks by Texas (Heart pounder). Creighton loses to K State. Darn, we have 3 losses. Michigan State blows by Bucknell, although Bucknell puts up a fighting effort near the end. Auburn gives me a scare there but squeaks by Charleston 62-58. Xavier kicks some Texas Southern ass. Good. And then UMBC happens. For the first part of the game, I was like, "UMBC can't last. I mean, look at all the leads the low seeds got out to that fell apart. Penn was leading Kansas by 10 at one point." But when I kept checking the score, the 12 point margin didn't shrink- it grew. Then, when I checked again, it was 15. 17. The game ended by a 20 point margin. I had them winning it all! TCU loses to Syracuse. Nice upset pick. Damnit, New Mexico State loses to Clemson! (Surprisingly, all 5 seeds won this year). At least I (should) be able to pick up this FSU-MIZZOU pick. But I'm pretty much done at this point.
