Argh.

Wazzu 61, Notre Dame 41, final.

You don't win too many games scoring 41 points, least of all in the NCAA Tournament.

So all three of "my teams" are gone within the tournament's first three days. All four if you count UConn. Harumph. I guess now I'm rooting for... Davidson? The Butler-Tennessee winner? And of course, whoever's playing UCLA. :)

Meanwhile, we've got a thriller in overtime between Marquette and Stanford. Go Pac-10!! GO DRUNKEN TREES!!!

UPDATE: Stanford wins!! Brook Lopez hit the game-winner with 1.3 seconds left. One of the best games of the tournament for sure. And the Trees won despite losing their coach in the first half.

P.S. Incidentally, Notre Dame's loss knocked Khalil Aboukhaled out of sole possession of first place in the pool, back into a four-way tie with Liz Janelle, Alex Whitfield and Ryan Morgan. That's still the situation after Stanford's win, which all four of the co-leaders predicted. Full update coming after the Kansas-UNLV game ends.

You have a pair of 12/13 games you could pick to run with. Maybe Western Kentucky can beat UCLA.

Maybe Western Kentucky can beat UCLA.

That. Would. Be. Awesome.

I guess now I'm rooting for...

How about the Xavier Musketeers? Small school with a small reputation and not much in the way of resources compared to, say, Duke or UConn or UNLV, but somehow the Musketeers always manage to be in the Big Dance, and get into the later rounds more often than many.
