Another 2 great days of basketball!! Another upset here and a blow out no one seen coming. Lets start with Thursdays games. The early games: Butler stuns Syracuse 63-59. One big upset after another. This game started out slow but as the game went on both team start shooting the ball better. Syracuse the number 1 team in the west. Butler advances to its first elite 8. Then West Virginia beat Washington 69-56. This game also started out slow. West Virginia looks really good, even though I hate them. The later games Kentucky just beat up on Cornell. Cornell couldn't make a shot after having a 10-2 lead. After that Kentucky went on a 28-4 run to end the half. Kentucky went on to win 62-45. Kansas State and Xavier might of been on of the best game of the tournament. With big shots made and big stops made, Kansas State survived a scare and won in double overtime 101-96. Xavier had another run at an elite 8, but just didn't have enough in the tank to pull off the upset.
Fridays games were very exciting too but not as mush as Thursdays. Baylor went off on St.Mary's and beat them up and went on to win easily 72-49. Ohio State had the lead with about 3 minutes left but couldn't hold it against Tennessee. Tennessee went on to win the game 76-73. This is one upset I didn't see coming. I though Ohio State had a good enough team to win it all after Kansas fell last weekend. In the later games no surprises as Duke beat Purdue 70-57. Duke controlled pretty much the whole game, and didn't let Purdue get any chance for a run. Upset minded Northern Iowa came very close of doing in again but Michigan State found a way to win it 59-52. Every year Michigan State always finds a way to get farther in the tournament. Final 8 teams play on Saturday and Sunday. Then next weekend Final 4 games and the National Championship. Should be a very exciting week for these teams and there fans.
