NCAA Tournament - Round 2 Day 1

by talkhawkeye on March 22, 2008

All of the 3 Big 10 teams remaining play today.

First up is the Kansas State - Wisconsin game at 3:20pm CT. Both games that I have seen of Kansas State involved Beasley getting into early foul trouble. For some reason, I expect him to stay out of foul trouble today score a billion points and help his team beat Wisconsin. It’s a long shot, but I picked it before this tournament began and I can’t change it now. But if he gets in foul trouble Wisconsin will kill them.

At the same basic time, Purdue plays Xavier at 3:40pm CT. Purdue looked as good as I hoped in the first round. I picked them to win this round (against Georgia). They will still beat Xavier. I kind of wish that I had picked Purdue to beat Duke in the next round.

The final Big 10 game is Michigan State against Pittsburgh at 9:10. MSU looked fine against Temple which means it is about time for them to play like crap. Pittsburgh will cause all kinds of trouble and win by 10 or more.

Which will leave Purdue as the only Big 10 team left in the tournament after today. Go Boilermakers.

I couldn’t care less about any of the other games except for wanting Duke to win today so that a Big 10 team (Purdue) can beat them on Saturday. It would also be nice if Marquette beat Stanford since I originally picked Kentucky to beat Stanford today.

No proofreading today. I have to go install hardwood floors in the dining room and living room today.
