Round II - Saturday Update

It was a good day today for Bulldogs: Butler beat Maryland to get to the Sweet 16! Congratulations to Truffle, Butterworth, and Kitty who picked the Butler Bulldogs to get this far. K Dees, Sperry and Bev had solidarity with the pets with their Sweet 16 picks, so congratulations to them too.

Ohio State and Texas A&M survive! Both came close to blowing the South bracket to smithereens. All the brackets had Ohio State winning. Only Jim and Spurgin had the Loisville upset over A&M while everybody else picked A&M. 9 brackets have Ohio State to the Final Four and 6 brackets have A&M going to the Final Four so these close calls had big implications. Should be fun for Citrus Basket V if A&M and Ohio State can advance to the Elite Eight.

There are three brackets at this point that don’t have Ohio State or A&M to win the South regional. Gern and Victoria picked Memphis while Jim has Virginia. I’m still waiting for Nate Dogg, Edward Feedtime and Simba to arrive in the mail.

Pitt got by VCU in overtime. This time VCU could only get a tie being down 10 with 10 minutes to go and couldn’t finish off the Pitt Panthers. Pitt missed many key freethrows to open the door for another VCU upset though they hit their last one with a few seconds left in overtime to ice it.

The double overtime game was a great game to watch. It also had Citrus Basket implications. 8 had Vanderbilt and 10 had Washington State.

Hope you had a few on your Irish day!
