NCAA Tournament open thread, day two, with video.

Yesterday was one of the most entertaining days of NCAA Tournament play that I can recall. Several upsets, and even many of the non-upsets went down to the wire. Today, the Big Ten gets into the act. Games of interest today:

#6 Xavier v. #11 Minnesota, 12:25; #4 Purdue v. #13 Siena; 2:30; #4 Wisconsin v. #13 Wofford, 2:50; #5 Michigan State v. #12 New Mexico State, 7:20 (that's not Alford's team--New Mexico won yesterday); #2 Ohio State v. #15 UCSB, 9:35. There are Big Ten games in every time slot today. Enjoy!

Looks like the Big Ten is going to be off to an 0-1 start. It will be interesting to see what Purdue does. Personally, while I would shed no tears over an early exit, I wouldn’t be surprised if they win a game or two.

Ugh. Seasons change, years pass...

And the Purdue band, as always, sounds like a cat with its tail stuck in a heavy door.

I hope they don’t confuse the Siena fans with the “IU sucks!” chant.

Crawford had 28 against Minnesota, Bassett had 32 against Gtown

That’s a lot of quality tournament production that left IU in the wake of the Sampson implosion.

I get wistful whenever I see them play

That was a damn good team that Sampson diddled away with his three-way calls. I’m glad, at least, that they’ve gone on to be successful at other programs and didn’t flame out and completely throw their lives away. And I’m also glad that they stuck it to Purdue one last time before that team fell apart.
