Watching two games at once (take 1)

First of Kansas did what they were supposed to and beat up on Portland St. Didn't even give us a little chance of the monumental upset. I don't understand why the 16 seeds don't just chuck up as many 3's as possible. What makes them think they can win with ball movement and post play? Anyways, it'll take something inovative for that first 16 seed victory.

Michigan St. also did well. Temple gave them a game early on, but it seemed like Michigan St. was just able to handle what ever the Owls had. The Spartan lead just seemed to grow out of nowhere. A few years ago I noticed that Tom Izzo has a very underrated record in the NCAA's and since then I've been on his bandwagon when it comes to filling out my bracket.

Xavier though gave me my biggest cause for concern this early afternoon. Down by as many as 11 points in the second half, they still come back and win it by double digits. Georgia did get screwed over though when it comes to FT's, but watching most of the second half on TV instead of a computer screen, it did seem like the FT difference was justifiable. Still Georgia showed real guts and good team play. Still I'm glad Xavier won and kept my bracket in tact for now.

So after the first set of games I'm sitting at 3-0, but really most people should. Unfortantely I've got a baseball game to broadcast later this afternoon, so I won't be able to watch the late afternoon games, but I'll be back later tonight with more observations.
