Open Thread: Xavier vs. Ohio State
I don't know why the NCAA always does this, but every year on the third day of the tournament, they have one game on by its lonesome in the 1:00 p.m. slot... and then they triple us up at around 5:45....
So, When Does This Get Good?
I guess Friday was a little better than Thursday. Both days had one legitimate upset, but Friday had the added bonus of two legitimate nail-biters: Nevada/Creighton and Virginia Tech/Illinois.

It's A Great Night To Go To Bed Early
All right, kids, 'twas the night before the NCAA Tournament kicks off and everything goes right plum crazy for four days, then takes three days off, then goes slightly less nuts for four more days. We can't wait, and we suspect you can't either....
