March Madness


Early in the tournament, we've seen some surprises to say the least. In the second round, Morehead State shocked Louisville in a 62-61 thriller. When Morehead State was down 59-61, shooting guard D.Harper drilled a three with 3 seconds left to win the game. Butler's Matt Howard tipped in the game winning shot as time expired to defeat Old Dominion who was favored by many to win that game. Princeton gave Kentucky a scare as Kentucky only won by 2 points. Freshman Brandon Knight hit a game winning driving lay up with just 2 seconds. UCLA eaked out a 2 point victory of Michigan State but UCLA had a 22 point lead at one point in the game. Temple beat Penn State in a last second buzzer beater.

All in all, the 2nd round has proven to be a "bracket buster." Upsets occuring left and right.
