Open Thread: The 2:30ish Games
Tennessee and Virginia are still going at it, with the Vols hanging onto a small lead, as they have for most of the game. I'm sure you know this, though, it's not like it's possible for you to be watching a different game.
Coming up in the next few minutes, though, we'll see the tips of four games: Purdue/Florida, UNLV/Wisconsin, Virginia Tech/Southern Illinois, and Winthrop/Oregon. Winthrop is the lowest seed still alive, and thus, the nation's sweetheart.
Please feel free to settle in here in the open thread, and take advantage of your fellow Deadspin commenters who can keep you up to date on the three games you aren't seeing.
