A pretty entertaining day, with a few upsets mixed in with solid competitive games.

In fact, the only ones that were ran away with was North Carolina's thrashing of Oakland and a surprising Mississippi State making a statement by handling Stanford.  No matter, because there were a couple of upsets that got a lot of people's attention.

Tonight, Bucknell upset Kansas in the Syracuse Region after a baby hook by center Chris McNaughton.  The German exchange student stepped up and made the basket with only 2.4 seconds left in the game.  Kansas tried to make a last second shot by Wayne Simien ala Christian Laettner, but it hit the back rim and fell out. 

I gotta give Bucknell props in more ways than one.  After all, defeating Kansas just made Roy Williams's life just a little easier.  Beers are on me guys.

Another big win was Vermont, who alot of teams called the next Gonzaga, used a time consuming offense to keep the game close, put the game into overtime, and finished off Syracuse by three points.  Well, that busted my bracket, as Syracuse was one of my Final Four teams.  Thanks guys.

That's wasn't the only bracket buster, tho.  Charlotte fell to NC State.  I figured they could at least go Elite Eight (stop laughing).  St. Mary's also fell to Southern Illinois.  That's a sigh of relief to the mid-major at-large boosters, as very few of them advanced this weekend, if any at all.  I was hoping Old Dominion would pull off an upset against Michigan State, but they fell down the stretch.
