Field narrowed from 64 to 32 teams:
Although it is too early to
predict anything after Thursday and Friday's first round action so hang
on and hope your players see a 3rd game this year.

Kahlif Wyatt - Matt"s 9th round selection from Temple poured in 31
pts in opening round game
A couple of fairly significant upsets this year affected a handful of
draft picks.
# 14 Harvard took down # 3 New Mexico 68-62
&
# 13 LaSalle defeated # 4 Kansas State 63-61
In addition, out of
the four 12-5 tournament matchups, three 12 seeded teams moved on with
victories. # 12 Mississippi dispatched # 5 Wisconsin in the West
region, # 12 California took care of # 5 UNLV in the East and # 12
Oregon handled # 5 Oklahoma State in the Midwest Region.
We had only 1 draft
pick score more than 30 in the opening round games. Matt
Krautstrunk's 9th round selection of Khalif Wyatt hit for 31 in
Temple's 77-72 win over NC State.
** We had 8 draft
picks score more than double their regular season average in the opening
round game
SID team
benefited with 3 picks and Kevin Keuper / Dave Eccles had two
picks. John Lehman's pick of Sam Thompson from Ohio State
in the 9th round hit for nearly triple his regular season average.
Another year with a really nice turnout at
the open house Thursday and Friday. We had a lengthy bitch in the
middle game on Thursday night that went almost 5 hours that was good for
a ton of laughs.
Again, I applaud the NCAA for
changing things around by spreading out the games out to truTV, TNT and
TBS. It's great to be able to watch many of these first round
games almost in their entirety, the only obvious hangup is the length of
time for commercials. I guess that is a sacrifice that we'll have
to deal with in order to be able to watch most of these games.
A big thank you to all that
participated, it makes watching the games that much more interesting and
exciting.
