Test4VitalSigns Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 First day just ended... Notable upsets....11 seed Wisconsin-Milwaukee knocked off 6 seed Oklahoma and 5 seed Syracuse ran out of miracles losing to 12 seed Texas A&M....12 seed Montana eliminated 5 seed Nevada... Tennessee and Boston College narrowly avoided being upset...Vols beat Winthrop 63-61...BC almost became victim of a great comeback by scrappy Pacific, finally beating them by 12 in double OT... All the major top seeds moved on though several (Zaga and Indiana) had to come from behind to avoid upsets... Let the Madness continue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 Also today was the crazy bomb scare in San Diego that delayed the start of games there...apparently bomb-sniffing dogs detected something and therefore a temporary evacuation took place....Nothing was found... March Madness indeed! http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/ncaatourney0...tory?id=2371145 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestand Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 QUOTE (Raider917 @ Mar 17 2006, 08:52 PM) UConn still down by 10 with 11:59 to go. That was an amazing game. For me, who lives 45 minutes north of Albany, I was a little biased, but both teams played an amazing games. Too bad UAlbany's game didn't stay a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test4VitalSigns Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Though it sucks the Heels are now out I like this team to kick ass next year and beyond. They proved that despite losing their top 7 players from last year's championship team they can still contend with the big boys The freshmen this year (especially Tyler Hansbrough) are great players and are gonna get better in the next few years. Coach Roy Williams proves how great a coach he really is... Kudos to George Mason U. for proving the people who thought they didn't belong wrong...nice job!

Dread Pirate Robert Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 QUOTE (Raider917 @ Mar 18 2006, 12:13 AM) not a good year for my brackets. Nor for anyone else's. But I think this is cool. Lots of upsets, lots of quirky games, and a # 11 seed in the Final Four. March Madness, indeed. Woohoo! Now I am pulling for GM to go all the way. A #11 seed winning it all would ROCK.
