Speaking of the NCAA, March 21, 2011

So, as you may be able to tell by my last post, which was all about Day 1 of the Round of 64 in the NCAA Men's Tournament, I bit off more than I could chew by trying to approach NCAA coverage that way. There were so many games per day, and they went late into the night-and I was thus up late watching them-that I had to give up that approach. The games have been excellent, including last night, when three teams seeded 10 or higher beat 2 or 3 seeds to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. The tournament has been thrilling so far, including an absolutely unforgettable finish by the Butler Bulldogs, who shocked #1 Pittsburgh, buckets of three-pointers by some guy named Jimmer, big-time upsets and the spectacle of blood-soaked Wisconsin players competing to the end in a big win over Kansas State.
