Saturday Tournament Open Thread

by Year2 on Mar 20, 2010 12:00 PM EDT in SEC Basketball

All right, so after an awesome Thursday, the tournament decided to turn this car around and get back on the right track, young man. We had a 5/12 upset and a pair of 7/10 upsets, but it was fairly quiet other than that despite Wisconsin and Michigan State playing with fire with Wofford and New Mexico State.

SCHEDULE

Tennessee vs. Ohio - 3:35 ET

Can Tennessee's defense end hot-shooting Ohio's season, or will the Bobcats pull another shocker?

Kentucky vs. Wake Forest - 8:15 ET

Only three 9-seeds have ever won second round games, but one of those wins was over Kentucky. Could the Deacs become another UAB, or will Kentucky put down this challenger as brutally as it did its last?

How far did you have Nova going?

Still a rough tourney for the Big East.

I didn’t do any brackets – haven’t since ’07, when I did fairly well through the first round or two then fell back to the pack. Once UF is out, I mostly stick out around for the schadenfreude.

Solid win for Tenn – perhaps this is the year Pearl makes a deep run. Ohio St ended up winning comfortably yesterday, but they looked shaky early, and if GT doesn’t take advantage the Vols possibly could.

Northern Iowa hanging tough so far.

Whoa – that was a ballsy shot, taking the quick (but very open) three. UNI finally broke the press in a big way and they made Kansas pay.

Whoa nellie – a whole bunch of brackets just busted. (Mine would have too, if I had one.)

Somewhere, Calipari, Boeheim and Krzyzewski are grinning wildly/doing a little jig/taking jello shots/etc…

If Washington holds on against New Mexico, three teams on the 3-line or better would have already bit the dust today.
