The Hilltoppers squeaked through for a HUGE 2 day party here in The Ville! It's gonna be INSANE here for the next 48 hours! 3 of the 4 teams from the Commonwealth are in the HOUSE! Buckle up! Oh, yeah, and GO RACERS!!!

Class by the WKU coach in consoling the Miss. Valley player after the game. Overcoming a 16 pt. deficit in the last 5 minutes? Valley were treating the ball like a hand grenade.

BYU overcomes a 25 point deficit themselves against Iona. Somehow Iona scored 55 in the first half and 17 in the second. The Madness starts early!!

Is today the day to get a bracket filled out or tomorrow?

[AggieMatt]

The deadline is 12:15 EDT on Thursday.

Thanks. That's leaves some time for others to join in the fun. No cost.

[SoCalJoe]

Still have 30 minutes people.

Jump...those are some madness picks.

Harvard in the FINAL?!

[AggieMatt]

He overshot madness and landed in insanity. But his Racers are bringing him so joy.

Unlike what Bucknell gave Joe. At home? The Pac 12 is proving to be just as bad, if not worse, than advertised.

No NIT talk on this thread

The Pac-12 is frankly in the toilet

Harvard Jump?? I'm old enough to remember the last time the Ivy League had a team in the Final 4 (Penn in 1979, the Magic Johnson-Larry Bird year), but there is going out on a limb and going out on a twig, and you picked the latter. Murray State looked tough and put the clamps on Colorado State in the 2nd half.

I saw several Harvard games online, and I really like their team. The higher seeds do not impress me this year, so I figured, why not? Plus, the Linsanity factor weighed in...if a kid from Harvard can not only crack an NBA starting lineup, but set the league on it's ear for a couple of weeks, there must be something there that no one else is seeing.

Alas, I was wrong.

But the Racers are for real, something Marquette will find out Saturday. Didn't begin to play our best today and still won fairly easily, so that's good. Gonna have to step it up to do what you gotta do in this tourney, survive and advance. It's basically win six in a row over three weekends. Since we've got four six game winning streaks this season, I like our chances. We're gonna abolish the term mid-major this year.

Sadly, those games happen. We couldn't hit anything for 25 minutes and finally played Runnin Rebel basketball and got it within 2 after being down 20 and couldn't get a lead. At least they didn't quit. They should have put on the full court press earlier, but whatever, it's over and this program is going in the right direction.

[AggieMatt]

All you need to know about the UNLV game is that they took 23 more shots than Colorado and lost. That's pretty remarkable.

Hopefully tomorrow will bring more upsets. I lost 1 elite 8 and 3 sweet 16's today, so it'll take some upsets to derail Joe and Heather.

[DCHeather]

I would have been 15 of 16 after yesterday if I didn't switch my VCU and Gonzaga picks at the last second.

I think I'll be regretting my Vanderbilt pick to to the regional finals, they didn't look that great against Harvard. And I have feeling that early round scare for Syracuse will see them to regionals.
