The Madness: Friday Wrap/Sat Preview

Greetings... this'll be a short one as I am short on time and resource... straight in

First from Friday...
  • Upset: Cornell laid the wood... not overly shocking because that's a talented team, but in full disclosure I thought Temple had a significant edge here... Wisconsin/Cornell should be an entertaining game...
  • In case you were slow to comprehend... that was the only upset of the day.... kinda crazy (and no, #10 over #7 isn't an upset...ever)
  • Game of the Day: Michigan State outlasts New Mexico state despite blowing an 18-point lead and needing the benefits of some questionable officiating.... yikes...
  • Higher seeds take care of business overall... chalk-ish day
To Saturday...
  • I absolutely can't wait for that BYU/K-State game.... I think Frank Martin implodes and BYU wins.... Jimmer!
  • Nova/St. Mary's is intriguing because of style mismatch... Omar Samhan has no peer on Villanova and he'll have to be huge... and for Nova... let's just say Scottie Reynolds can't shoot 3 of 17 or they won't win... I still like Nova though
  • Blowout city: Tennessee over Ohio, Kentucky over Wake
  • Upset alert: Murray State/Butler (wouldn't be a significant upset IMO, but seeding says otherwise), and Washington/New Mexico (hilarious, because the #11 seed is the vegas favorite on a neutral floor over the #3)
  • Northern Iowa keeps it close... but goes down....
  • For some reason I'm overly intrigued by Baylor/ODU.... I have no idea.... literally none... I think Baylor's size and athleticism is too much... but ODU is just crafty...
Sorry for the disjointed post... Better info later
