This is a running diary of the first few games of this NCAA Tournament. Enjoy:
Started off by watching Wichita State and Seton Hall. Game started off nice for both teams — both looked crisp and smooth with some nice shooting. Then Seton Hall fell apart. Inconsistency did them in.
Switched to the Boston College game, where BC looked dominant in the first four minutes of the game. Then BC slumped and Pacific looked great. Pacific showed they can hold their own with the big boys.
Haven’t seen much of the Wisconsin-Milwaukee vs Oklahoma game. It seems like it is being consistent with UWMil holding a slight lead throughout the game.
Seton Hall is making a mini comeback, still looks like they won’t be able to steal this game from the Shockers.
BC looks better in the 2nd half. The three by John Oates just put BC up 8. Looks like Seton Hall is slipping away down 17, and UWMil is pulling away from Oklahoma.
The loudest the stadium got was when Marshall of BC air balled a free throw, nice. BC up 51-40. Looking good for one of my Final Four teams.
Both Seton Hall and Oklahoma are down 14 as of now, looks like I just lost two games. Including a Sweet 16’er.
Watch out, Pacific is getting hot… down by 5. Oklahoma pulling within 8, while Seton Hall is down 18.
Timeout, 2 point game for Pacific and BC … unreal! Getting nervous…
Wichita State wins. I’m an idiot, this is the only game in the tournament I picked with my “heart,” and so goes Seton Hall, one of my sweet 16 teams… Nice job, AJ.
So Oklahoma did decide to tank their season. I guess they had less heart than I expected. Great win for UWMil.

BC/Pacific was probably the most exciting game of the day, followed closely by Xavier/Gonzaga. George Washington/UNC-Wilmington, for an overtime game, just didn't thrill me as much, despite that large comeback made by the Colonials.
